TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIAL
expectations are running high with the news that customers can now benefit from the advantages of IO-Link in ultrasonics, too. Added value though IO-Link: the now well-established IO-Link
standard offers many recognised benefits, from virtual teach- button setting of the switch point to secure transmission of the distance value in mm.
Other useful aspects of the IO-Link
New programmable TFT display with camera input M
MS Electronics has added two new displays to the range of programmable displays. EA uniTFT050 (5.0”
800x480 pixel) and EA uniTFT101 (10.1” IPS 1280x800 pixel) use the new UNISKETCH software with drag and drop function and object graphics programming. Design engineers and systems integrators benefit from shorter development times and gain more flexibility. These TFT display modules, with on-board powerful controller, open up many new possibilities for developers and users. Objects can be placed, moved, rotated, combined and deleted at any time. Objects can be linked to actions and I/O. Elegant effects such as fading in and out or flying in are possible. Commands for sliders, dials, buttons, images, MP3 sound files, data logging and calculations are included. In many cases the on-board processor can take on control tasks without requiring an external controller. 7 interfaces are available USB, 2 x SPI, 2 x RS-232 and 2 x I²C. 4 analogue inputs, PWM output, 16 digital I/O, SD card and analogue video camera input.

inclusion cover switch-on delay and switch-off delay and diagnostics. If need be, an IO-Link sensor can easily be replaced as the transfer of parameters is automatic. The versions with IO-Link are produced in an industry-
standard M18 body, with long and short housings in both plastic and stainless steel. Five different sensing ranges cover up to a maximum of 2.2m.

Sensata launches new White Paper on how sensors are moving Materials Handling towards safer automation
ensata Technologies, one of the world’s leading suppliers of sensor, industrial control, power management and electrical protection solutions, has published a new white paper (How Sensors are Moving Materials Handling Towards Safe Automation) that covers the rapidly evolving world of Automated Guided Vehicles and how new developments in sensor and guidance technologies are enabling AGVs to become an essential element for a wide variety of material handling applications. This white paper examines some of the more
S
interesting applications which are adopting AGVs and how a number of various navigation and sensor technologies are enabling this innovative material handling industry transformation especially in regard to industrial and warehousing applications.
This white paper covers the various types of AGVs,
the market drivers, the various navigation and steering control technologies, as well as an look at the leading sensing technologies that enabling the rise in AGV solutions and systems. What do developers of AGV solutions need to know about the latest industrial and warehouse sensor and navigation technologies? This new Sensata white paper is available as a free

CONNECTINGINDUSTRY.COM/AUTOMATION has all the answers N
ow available from HBM is the very latest EVIDAS software, which is designed to significantly accelerate
and facilitate data acquisition. Simple to use, EVIDAS software features an intuitive
user interface that provides immediate visual feedback. By simply connecting the smart sensors (TEDS), it takes two simple clicks to display measurement results, without any programming, saving users valuable set-up time and effort. In addition to TEDS and the sensor database, EVIDAS
software also provides two innovative configuration options; a convenient dialog for configuring individual channel’s and direct configuration in the channel table. Complete with its own cloud integration for global data
access, data can be conveniently stored, exported and used for review in all common formats from anywhere in the world.
