Compact and versatile: PS216-Q200/-Q210 pull-wire switch
New components for automation technology The Schmersal Group launches a new pull-wire switch that can be used as a signal generator to start machines, open electrically operated guard doors and gates and as a light switch in lift shafts. Key benefits of the new PS216 switch are its compact dimensions and extreme versatility, enabled thanks to high degrees of protection under EN 60529 and suitable for use in a wide range of temperatures.
Thanks to IP66 degree of protection, the PS216 pull-wire switch is protected against dust
and strong water jets and thanks to IP67 degree of protection, is also protected against temporary submersion in water. The switch can be used in ambient temperatures ranging from -30°C to +80°C.
Another practical benefit is that the PS216 operates according to the ‘start/stop
principle’ in that it remains switched on after initial actuation and subsequent release. Only when the switch is actuated and released a second time is the latch released and the switch switched off.
The PS216 pull-wire switch comes in two versions – the Q200 has a holding force of 45 N and is suitable for wire lengths of up to 50 m, while the Q210 has a holding force of 70 N and can be used with wires stretching up to 100 m. Pulling on the pull wire actuates the switch function in the pull-wire switch.
Other distinctive features of the PS216 include cable entry via M20 or M12 connector and six different NC/NO contact variants.

PLS' UDE now also supports the new Infineon AURIX™ TC4x family
Optimal Analysis, Test and Debug Tool for the Next Generation of Automotive MCUs
With the latest version of its Universal Debug Engine® (UDE) PLS Programmierbare Logik & Systeme is providing system developers with comprehensive analysis, test and debugging functions for the latest generation of AURIX™ microcontrollers from Infineon.
Via its intuitive and thus particularly user-friendly user interface, the UDE enables
developers to easily access all TriCore™ v1.8 and special cores, such as the (enhanced) Generic Timer Module (eGTM), the Synopsys ARC® based Parallel Processing Unit (PPU) or the Cyber-Security Real-Time Module (CSRM), of the TC4x. The UDE allows control of all cores for debugging, testing and in-depth system analyses within a single debugger instance. Currently, the UDE allows debugging of C/C++ as well as assembly code, with support for all major compilers, especially those from HighTec, Synopsys and Tasking. Support for the Synopsys MetaWare OpenCL C compiler for PPU code is in preparation.
Depending on the partitioning of the applications running on the TC4x, the cores can be
controlled either all together, in groups or even individually by traditional run-mode debugging. By utilizing the chip's own debug logic, UDE allows almost synchronous starting and stopping of the particular cores. Multi-core breakpoints also simplify the debugging of complex applications, especially in shared code.
All debugger windows, which display for example source code, internal states such as
variables, registers or even graphical visualizations, can be arranged, grouped or even distributed across multiple screens within the UDE interface in a completely flexible manner. Additionally, with perspectives it is possible to define multiple views within a debugger session and switching between them. This option turns out to be extremely helpful when focusing on a specific debugging task, when the developer wants to analyze the behavior of a core in detail, or for performance measurements using profiling.
For a fast time-to-market, the UDE supports software testing and debugging on virtual
prototypes created with the Synopsys Virtualizer Development Kit for AURIX™ TC4x. For software debugging of the TriCore™ v1.8 cores, the UDE also contains the instruction set simulator TSIM.
Later this year, the UDE will also support on-chip and external trace. Then, the already
widely used Universal Emulation Configurator (UEC) for flexible definition of trace tasks will also be available for the TC4x. In addition, PLS will provide an adaptation for the serial high-speed trace interface of the new AURIX™ generation for the UAD2next and UAD3+ devices of the Universal Access Device family.
The compact new PS216-Q200/-Q210 pull-wire switch features high degrees of protection and suitability for use in high temperatures
