TERMITRAB Complete - The World's Thinnest Surge Protection for Measurement and Control Signals
This new line of surge protection addresses a wide range of market needs through innovative approaches to commonly desired features. These compact SPDs are designed specifically with space (or lack thereof) in mind, and come in several formats: ultra-narrow, single-stage, pluggable, and non-pluggable versions for a diverse range of applications.
Troubleshoot and diagnose your system from any location using the TTC’s innovative monitoring capabilities through the remote signaling and status indicators. The TTC sends a beam of light through the monitoring window that becomes obstructed when an SPD reaches the end of life. At that point, a remote signal is sent back to the control panel, allowing for prompt notification at the user’s convenience.

Serial Servers and Protocol Gateways. Get your Serial Data to Ethernet
|
The Phoenix Contact family of serial device servers and gateways provides a simple way to migrate legacy serial devices and buses to modern Ethernet networks.
Serial device servers or terminal servers enable you to connect devices with an RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 serial interface to a local area network (LAN). Device servers allow serial PLCs to interface to with laptops over Ethernet.
A gateway is used to convert the protocol of one device to the protocol suitable for the other device or tools to achieve the interoperability. The most common industrial protocols are supported with various combinations of RAW/ASCII serial data, Modbus RTU, TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, and EtherNet/IP™ technology.

MAGPOWR Launches Larger Size Thin Load Cell
Available in two sizes, MAGPOWR TLC load cells are accurate devices used to measure web tension in any unwind, rewind or intermediate web processing application. Delivering precise web tension with low temperature drift due to a full Wheatstone bridge construction, the load cells allow for force measurement and 10 times overload protection in both force directions. With a low profile design, space between the machine frames dedicated to the load cell is minimized. The load cells can also be mounted on the outside of the machine frames, eliminating any space required for the load cells.
