arlo Gavazzi have launched their CA18CA and CA30CA TRIPLESHIELDTM capacitive sensor range complete with
New inductive proximity switches sense all metals at same range
plus is the name given by leading sensor manufacturer ifm electronic to their latest range of inductive proximity sensors. The main
feature of these is their reliable detection: long sensing range on all metals, there is no reduction factor. Addition reliability stems from the fact that the K = 1 correction factor
sensor technology is inherently immune to electromagnetic fields. This wide range of devices in standard M8, M12, M18 and M30 housings offers different lengths for different applications, all with flush or non-flush versions and all featuring an industry-standard M8 or M12 connector. These devices are suited to a numerous applications due to their wide operating temperature range and high
protection rating. Installation is made easier by the fact that the thread can be completely used with the lock nuts, right to the end of the housing thread. The robust design in high-grade stainless steel renders this range ideal for all applications.

ODU - not your average connector company O
DU were showcasing several new additions at the Engineering Design Show.
Developed from the well-established ODU-AMC® [Advanced
Military Connector], the new ODU Threaded Connector utilises a screw-locking-with-rachet mechanism [half-turn locking] and is intended for applications requiring additional security, or where pressure/vibration could be problematic.
The ODU-MAC® modular rectangular hybrid connector transmits signals, power, high-current, high-voltage, coax
and other media such as air, fluids, high-speed data or fiber optics – all in one interface. New to this range is the ODU-MAC® RAPID a split-shell housing giving a host of intelligent internal options and also a High-Current Module, with a load up to 225 amps and operating voltage of 1000 volts. ODU are a 'problem-solving' connector manufacturer, working closely with their OEM customers to develop both
connectors and packaging, providing cost-effective solutions to the problems of modern-day electronics. ODU

of touchscreen machine interfaces and control monitoring displays. Available in 4.3” and 7” versions, these capacitive colour touchscreen devices have a wealth of hardware interfaces, and Design Studio software that allows app development using a drag and drop interface. Absolutely no coding is required. Hardware interfaces on the device include bipolar analogue inputs, eight digital input/output pins, alarm outputs and PWM outputs, making it a very capable display across a range of applications. Development kits including a display and development board for testing all the input/output functionality are also available.
Ace Your Next Display Project with Products from Lascar Electronics L
ascar’s PanelPilotACE is a unique software and hardware display platform ideal for rapid development
The free PanelPilotACE Design Studio software is available
at
www.lascarelectronics.com/software/panelpilotace/ and offers an emulator, to design and test your interface for free before buying any hardware. A recent software update has added PID control, wired Ethernet for transfer of logged data via FTP, multi-channel data logging and trend graphs. These join the already popular protocols of RS485 & MODBUS. Lascar’s online PanelPilotACE University at
https://www.lascarelectronics.com/panelpilotace-university/ shares templates and graphics to use in your display project as well video tutorials for basic and advanced users. Lascar’s most recent code-free addition is the SGD 21-B - a
low cost, low power, sunlight readable, single channel voltmeter with a sleek, 250 x 122 pixel monochrome e-paper
display. The unit is configured with free-to-download PanelPilot B software available at
www.lascarelectronics.com/software/panelpilot-b/. The software provides six analogue and digital voltmeter Apps to choose from, which can be customised to suit your individual application. Settings that can be changed in the software include custom labels, scaling and alarms. A splash screen can also be added to the display on power-up for branding with your company’s logo. Modest power requirements of 2.5mW make this display ideal for use in battery-powered handheld instruments, with typical applications being thermometers, pH meters and gas detectors. Lascar Electronics has a team of sales engineers that can
help you with any queries that you have about your display project, just call 01794 884567 or visit our website at
