Introducing the 56 and 56HZ frame three phase motors from OmniDrive, made with aluminum construction for continuous duty, class ‘B’ insulation and made for inverter duty of 10:1 V.T./2:1 C.T.. The motors feature removable bolt-on feet with 3 positions which allow for F-1, F-2 and F-0 conduit bos location. The motors are rated for 40 degrees C ambient and are UL listed and CSA approved.
Motovario offers a range of motovariators and motovariator combinations including the S and TFX Series, the VH/VHA series and the S+NMRV / TXF+NMRV series.
With ctrlX SAFETY, Bosch Rexroth introduces a novelty to the automation market: the most responsive and compact safety solution of its kind. The scalable system can be used as required – from the drive-integrated SafeMotion solution in ctrlX DRIVE to the complete ctrlX SAFETY control. In addition to the flexible use, the advantages include a very high level of safety thanks to the fastest reaction times and efficient engineering through graphical programming of the safety PLC.
New IDEM non-contact magnetic coded switches use force-guided contacts and have an internal monitoring system so that they are stand-alone, not requiring the use of a separate safety relay.
February 5, 2024 Siemens is releasing a new generative artificial intelligence (AI) functionality into its predictive maintenance solution – Senseye Predictive Maintenance. This advance makes predictive maintenance more conversational and intuitive. Through this new release of Senseye Predictive Maintenance with generative AI functionality, Siemens will make human-machine interactions and predictive maintenance faster and more efficient…
July 19, 2023 Manage furnaces safely with the small controllers PNOZmulti 2 With the base unit PNOZ m B1 Burner from the safe small controller PNOZmulti 2, you can manage safe monitoring and safe control of furnaces simultaneously with one solution. That’s because PNOZmulti 2 controls and monitors both the burner itself and the entire furnace. You…
This inline flow switch is a flow/no flow device with the ability to detect flow in either direction. It is key for applications where detection of flow direction is desirable or where undesired reverse flow is possible and must be prevented to avoid system damage. The FS-B is capable of rigorous application demands, high temperatures, media compatibility, and low pressure drop.
Weidmüller’s scalable engineering software, u-control 2000, adapts individually to your requirements. And, the u-control is powerful, compact and fully compatible with Weidmüller’s I/O system u-remote. This article looks at what makes u-control the heart of your automation.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are one of the main components of any automated system. A typical control system has inputs, outputs, controllers (i.e., PLCs), and some type of human interaction with the system, a human machine interface (HMI), for example.
June 23, 2026 Physical AI — the convergence of artificial intelligence with robotics and autonomous motion systems — is reshaping how Canadian industries operate. Across sectors from healthcare to mining, AI-enabled machines are performing tasks that were once entirely dependent on human intervention. But deploying Physical AI effectively requires more than sophisticated algorithms: it demands… Read More…
June 22, 2026 Segment and Application In a municipality, wastewater treatment plants typically stand out as the main consumers of electricity. The operational processes exhibit significant load variations throughout a 24-hour cycle, necessitating the use of AC drives to regulate pumps, blowers, and other motorized equipment in response to fluctuating demand. In one wastewater treatment… Read More…
