LEE-DICKENS NAMUR NE43 TRIP AMPLIFIERS ACHIEVES SIL2 RATING
NAMUR NE43 recommendations. These non-processor based trip amplifiers have been assessed to IEC61508 and achieve SIL2 rating with a proof test interval of one year. The NAMUR NE43 recommendation
L
document sets out to define the “Out of Range” figures that are to be used with the industry standard 4 to 20mA signal. The four trip amplifiers have the standard process trips as well as an independent “out of range” trip. The “out of range” trip is activated when the input signal either falls below 3.8mA or exceeds 20.5mA. The SIL rated instruments are the BD9431/BD9432, which are AC powered Single/Dual
Level Trip Amplifiers respectively, and the BM9431/BM9432, which are DC powered Single/Dual Level Trip Amplifiers, respectively.

EMBEDDED ARM CORE FRONT PANEL SOLUTIONS
serial interfaces to link host and peripheral devices using USB, RS232, RS485, Async, SPI, I2C, CAN and Ethernet. Most ports double up as general I/O with IRQ functionality. Our embedded solutions allow designer engineers to move application processing into the TFT module which reduces host overhead and enables easily manageable communication speeds. The host can send raw data to the TFT module for the operating system to process and synchronise display refresh, navigation and peripheral control. For further details:

BERNSTEIN PRESENTS COMPONENTS FOR MODERN AND INDIVIDUALLY ADAPTABLE WORKSTATIONS
customer applications. The
Ergo.Slide, for example, offers simple height adjustment of
B
individual components of an operator station. It makes changing the working posture a natural part of everyday working life. The
flex.base offers a pedestal solution for operator stations that
can be moved and positioned, be flexible, manoeuvrable and yet stable in production. CS-480 B.flex offers ergonomic connection of control housings or
IPCs. Connections mounted on ceilings, walls or floors are made simple with the CS-480 B.flex coupling. With the height-adjustable ergo.fleX, BERNSTEIN offers an innovative
extension to the CS-3000 load-bearing system. Thanks to its flexible height adjustment and internal cable routing, this version offers even greater ease of operation and installation.

SICK GOES THE DISTANCE WITH ITS MINIATURE POWERPROX® SENSOR S
ICK has shrunk its versatile, high-performance PowerProx sensor into a space-saving miniature housing to reach the longest distances ever achieved with such a compact device.
The tiny SICK WTT4SL PowerProx Mini photoelectric sensor measures just 12.2 x 41.8 x 17.3 mm yet delivers outstanding
performance to detect objects up to 1.3metres away. It is therefore ideal for high-speed production and logistics applications. The PowerProx mini can be integrated into tight machine spaces such as the grippers of picking robots or for materials handling
duties in AGVs, as well as for empty bay and clearance detection in high-bay warehouses. SICK has engineered its innovative autocollimation time-of-flight sensing technology to fit into the exceptionally small housing,
ensuring reliable high-speed detection, with outstanding repeatability even in challenging ambient conditions and without cross-talk interference from other sensors. The responsive Powerprox Mini finds leading edges with precision even at high-process speeds with the ability to detect targets reliably through small holes, for example for quality control inspection of automotive parts assemblies. “The SICK Powerprox Mini can replace through beam, background suppression or reflex sensors, so machinebuilders and production teams can
streamline their inventories while still guaranteeing high-performance sensing,” says David Hannaby, SICK’s UK Product Manager for Presence Detection. “The Powerprox Minis can be set up in an instant using the on-board teach-in function, or via IO-Link. It’s all the reliability, repeatability and
versatility you expect from SICK, packed into a sensor no larger than a packet of sugar cubes.” With the option of IO-Link and up to eight variable switching outputs, the all-seeing SICK Powerprox Mini can easily be configured for multi-task
applications. Its 100% background suppression ensures only the target is detected without any interference from high-viz jackets or shiny metal objects behind it. The SICK WTT4SL Powerprox mini is offered in speed or distance variants for optimum performance. Excellent repeatability ensures reliable
counting, quality control and sorting applications in high-speed FMCG production packaging processes, even with products with varying surfaces. Its red-light Class 1 (eye-safe) laser, small light spot size and wide angle of incidence with switching frequencies up to 1 kHz ensure highly- competitive performance across a broad range of applications.
