Wieland’s Samos® PRO – THE Compact Modular Safety Controller
D
esigned with maximum functionality in mind,
samos® PRO from Wieland Electric is a compact modular safety controller for machine
and automation control. Part of the samos® range of safety systems, it has multi-functional base modules that are modularly interlinked, extending its safety functions module by module. The compact design of samos® PRO means it
offers the highest possible degree of flexibility, consisting of function modules of only 22.5mm wide and programmable safety solutions from a width of 45mm. These modules can be easily plugged together and are available as input/output, input or relay output units and gateways in conjunction with the controller. A single contact terminal also fulfils CAT. 4 (EN954-1) requirements. The range also offers universal I/O which is configured on samos® PLAN. Up to 96 safe inputs and 48 safe outputs can be
achieved through samos® PRO and the system can easily be integrated via gateways to Fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet Networks to allow remote monitoring, diagnostics and reporting. Interchangeable memory modules minimise downtime and the simple wiring system of samos® PRO COMPACT reduces installation time to a minimum, whilst providing a cost effective solution.

ifm module turns any sensor into a speed monitor
T
he new DP2122 mini-display module from ifm electronic transforms any sensor that provides a
pulse output into a speed monitor with a local display and two user-adjustable switching setpoints. Not only does this provide a versatile and cost- effective solution for a wide range of speed monitoring applications, it also greatly reduces the processing load on the control system PLC compared with using the PLC to directly evaluate pulses from the sensor as a way of determining speed. Typical applications for the DP1222 module
include monitoring the operation of belt and screw conveyors, fans, centrifuges, separators and other equipment where speed must be maintained within a specified operating range.

hether it is for warehousing and logistics applications, in chemical or pharmaceutical production, or in manufacturing supply chains – touch displays provide a new means of innovative user interactions, especially
when they are seamlessly incorporated. As responsive interfaces they serve as control consoles, operating elements or monitoring screens. Displays in this environment not only need to provide precise touch sensitivity and high image quality but also resist the rough environment they are used in. Philips monitors have a portfolio of touch displays that is specifically designed for the manufacturing industry.
The B1TFL series displays come in four sizes from 15.5 to 23.8 inches, with panels that offer brightness values of 350 to 450 nits plus anti-glare coating which can be used comfortably even in well-lit environments. The 10-point projected capacitive touch technology guarantees a reliable user experience, while the 7H scratch hardness of the edge-to-edge glass overlay provides for a long lifetime and easy cleaning. Furthermore, the monitors are IP65 certified and have an 8 mm foam rim on the border and are thus water and dust protected. Installation – whether in landscape, portrait or face-up position – is supported through an innovative L-bracket system as well as a standard VESA mount. The displays feature a variety of connectors, including HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA and DVI, and also come with a
built-in USB hub (2x USB-A 3.1) to connect extra hardware and power devices. The OSD can be accessed through the built-in OSD buttons or through a dedicated remote controller, which is part of the package. This comes in handy in the case of fixed installations when the back of the monitor can no longer be reached. The touch monitors comply with several European standards and EMI class-B for additional electromagnetic protection. They are cross-platform compatible with certain versions of Windows, Android and Linux.
