STOP
Motor Failures with the SSAC DLMU
Power
interruptions during a storm are common. The overhead 3
phase distribution lines are usually not disconnected at
the same time. This means single phasing and motor
failures. ABB's updated design of the popular DLM
series, the DLMU, provides a universal voltage (200 to
480V), cost effective solution to this problem, and many
more. Now, one part number can be used in 80% of all
phase voltage protection applications. The DLMU can
disconnected a motor at risk eliminating the need for
expensive removal, rebuilding or replacement. The new
DLMH Series provides phase voltage protection for 600
VAC motors.

NEW! From Contrinex
Marine-Quality Sensors are impervious to
Seawater and
Salt Spray!
Contrinex has introduced a line of marine-standard
inductive sensors with housings made from AISI 316L
stainless steel that is impervious to seawater and salt
spray and will not rust in the most extreme maritime
environments. In addition to environmental hazards, marine
installations are often located in aggressive situations
where mechanical elements and control devices need to be
physically protected against collision damage. Machined
from a single piece of stainless steel that includes the
sensing face, the Marine Series 700 range can withstand
extreme impact, high shock levels and is resistant to
virtually any chemical stress. The use of patented, sensor
technology known as Condet® produces a sensing distance
that is, size for size, three times that of conventional
sensors and is stable over its full temperature range from
-25ºC to +85ºC.
Another advantage of the unique Contrinex technology is
that it delivers the same long sensing distances on
alloys, such as brass, aluminum and bronze as it does on
steel. This ensures practical clearances from targets to
be detected without the need for precision set-ups that
are often needed with conventional sensors to ensure
reliable feedback.

Expansion Capabilities from Unitronics
The new EX-RC1 remote I/O adapter by Unitronics
allows multiple adapters to connect to a single
Programmable Logic Controller with up to 8 standard
expansion modules to each adapter via CANbus.
By expanding distributed control capabilities and I/O
support to a maximum of 512 points, the EX-RC1 allows
the Vision PLC's to be used in larger machines and
systems, such as conveyors, paper handling and printing.
Using the EX-RC1 now allows the Vision units to be
placed at a convenient operator stand, and distributes
I/O's in different locations on the machine with a
single CANbus cable running between the units. Through
the CANbus network, a distance of up to 1000m can be
achieved. For maximum system flexibility it is also
possible to connect several PLCs and several expansion
adapters, in one CANbus network.
