80-AMP POWER DISTRIBUTION BLOCK This expanded line of IEC terminal blocks features a screw-clamp, 80-amp power distribution block (up to three wires in, four wires out). Available for either base or DIN-rail mounting, it is rated to 600 V. Its housing is made of unbreakable, high-quality polyamide 6.6 thermoplastic, and offers funneled wiring entry with finger-safe IP20 terminals. It is UL- and CE-certified and RoHS-compliant. c3controls 724/775-7926 www.c3controls.com
Compact PoE The eI/O family of Ethernet digital I/O solutions provides system designers with compact, low-cost alternatives for monitoring and control. A choice of optically isolated inputs is currently available. All eI/O modules are available in Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af) versions to connect to existing PoE networks. DC-powered models with 9-30 VDC input range are also available. Sealevel Systems 864/843-4343 www.sealevel.com
TRANSPARENT SWITCH AMPLIFIERS These three-switch amplifiers with line fault fransparency (LFT) reduce the amount of wiring required in hazardous area applications. NIC2831 and HIC2832 are one- and two-channel switch amplifiers with LFT suitable for mounting on termination boards. The K-System KFD2-SOT2-EX1.N provides line fault transparency to the control system in a standard DIN-rail mounting configuration. Pepperl+Fuchs 330/486-0002 www.pepperl-fuchs.us
COMPACT LUG TERMINALS These open-style ring screw (RSC) and ring bolt (RBO) lug connection terminals can replace traditional barrier blocks. Available in 9-mm and 13-mm profiles in both panel-mount or DIN-rail-mount packages. Both the RSC and RBO terminals meet flammability class V0 per UL 94 and UL-recognized at 600 V, with a range of electrical current ratings from 30 A to 45 A.

POWER-MONITORING MODULE The Snap-AIPM-3 monitors 480-VAC, three-phase electrical equipment without the need for a potential transformer. The module accepts voltage inputs up to 300 VAC, so 277-volt, line-to-neutral signals from lighting systems and other equipment can be wired directly to the module. It accepts current inputs from 0-5 amps, doubling the module’s previous input resolution. Opto 22 800/321-6786 www.opto22.com
UL-CERTIFIED REMOTE ETHERNET I/O The UL-certified ioLogik E1200 series of remote Ethernet I/O products features a built-in, two-port Ethernet switch for daisy-chain topology, and has user-defined Modbus/TCP addressing. Multiple models offer digital input/output/relay, analog input/output and temperature range configuration. It also comes with free support for Moxa’s push-based Active OPC Server Lite. Moxa 888/669-2872 www.moxa.com
ADAM IS TOUGH The Adam-4117 data acquisition module is designed for reliable operation in harsh environments. Its built-in microprocessor, encased in rugged industrial-grade ABS plastic, provides intelligent signal conditioning, analog I/O, digital I/O and LED data display. It has eight differential and independently configurable channels, high noise immunity, broad power input range and an LED display. Advantech 800/800-6889 www.advantech.com
JUMP FOR SIGNAL CONDITIONING Wago’s new interface adapter provides Jumpflex signal conditioners and relays with a tool-free interface to the Wago-I/O-System or other PLC interfaces. They capture analog/digital signals for eight combined Jumpflex modules, and are ideal for machines requiring large amounts of input/output signals. Ribbon cable and D-Sub connector models provide eight-channel connectivity. Wago Corp. 800/346-7245 www.wago.us
MODULAR I/O The ST Series is a modular distributed I/O system that operates as a slave device station for either CC-Link or Profibus device-level networks. It features a head unit, power supply and compact I/O that assembles on the DIN rail to form a remote system, or node. Its scalable architecture accepts mix-and-match I/O configurations and I/O concentrations from two to 16 I/O points. Mitsubishi Electric 847/478-2100 us.mitsubishielectric.com/fa/en
EXTREME BUS TERMINALS Extended Temperature (ET) bus terminals have an operating temperature range for selected standard bus terminals and couplers of between -4 °F and 140 °F (-20 °C and +60 °C). The storage temperature range is specified as -40 °F to 185 °F (-40 °C to +85 °C). The ET Terminals are ideal for outdoor applications and alternative energy systems, such as wind, solar or tidal power plants. Beckhoff Automation 952/890-0000 www.beckhoffautomation.com
CLICK FOR PLCS The Click PLC line now includes three analog CPU models featuring two analog inputs and two outputs with ranges of voltage up to 5 VDC or current up to 20 mA. They include two built-in RS-232 and one RS-485 communication ports and a real-time clock and battery. All have four DC inputs and a choice of four DC sinking, DC sourcing or relay outputs. Automation Direct 770/889-2858 www.automationdirect.com/click-plc
AFFORDABLE GATEWAYS BL20 Economy gateways for EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP provide a flexible in-the-cabinet system for distributed I/O. They can be paired with a broad range of I/O slices to suit virtually any application’s communications and transparency requirements. They accommodate up to 32 I/O modules, resulting in a system that may contain up to 512 digital I/O points or 128 analog I/O points. Turck 800/544-7769 www.turck.us
