By Brian Dempsey, system design engineer, Texas Instruments The numbers are a wake-up call: According to the United Nations, the buildings and construction sector accounted for 36% of the world’s energy consumption in 2018, contributing to a worrisome carbon footprint. And those percentages continue to grow. As a result, the race is on. Industrial design […]
New sensor from Balluff delivers flexible, smart condition monitoring
Balluff’s new condition monitoring sensor can measure vibration, temperature, relative humidity, and ambient pressure. The feature-rich sensor collects and processes these readings and outputs digital statistical data to a host system via IO-Link. In addition, the sensor can detect and communicate its condition, continuously reporting its temperature, number of operating hours, and start cycles. By […]
Virtual sensor from B&R
Virtual sensor reads safe speed B&R has developed a virtual sensor for its ACOPOS P3 servo drive: the Safe Speed Observer. It determines speed in accordance with SIL 2 / PL d / CAT 3 requirements, reducing the cost of implementing the Safely Limited Speed safety function by eliminating the need for a safe encoder. […]
