The TUNS series from Cosel is an exceptional power supply in several respects. Firstly, the power supplies of this series are extremely compact. The power ranges from 50 to 1200W and the 700W has the dimensions of a smartphone, for example. It has a small surface area, but it is also extremely flat. In addition, the operating temperature may vary between -40°C and even +100°C, and all this without derating (loss of power). TUNS Series by Cosel These TUNS power supplies have an input range from 85 to 264VAC, which means they can be used worldwide. The power supplies also have a built-in active PFC circuit, which achieves a power factor of almost 1. The fact that they can handle high peak currents can be very interesting for applications that demand higher power for a short time, but lack the space for a heavier power supply. Furthermore, there is the possibility of parallel switching and a remote on/off is provided to limit the standby power. The output voltage is adjustable and a remote sense is provided. The standard TUNS series requires a number of external components with the advantage of being able to control a number of parameters yourself. For example, by fitting the right capacitor, the hold-up time can be extended if required. The values of these external components are clearly indicated in an application note. If you want a solution that is directly applicable and in which these external components are already included, then you should choose the TUNS/SN series. The following series types are already available: 50W and 100W.

TwinCAT Controller Redundancy: Controller redundancy with standard hardware components Software-based solution protects plant uptime through redundant control operation Plant availability plays a crucial role in the process industry in particular, so building redundancy into automation technology designs is vital. This is why Beckhoff expanded its extensive range of solutions in this area to also include a software solution for redundant control operation: TwinCAT Controller Redundancy. While the robust design of the company’s Industrial PCs alone already ensures a high level of availability, Beckhoff is now expanding its product portfolio to check yet another box with TwinCAT Controller Redundancy (TF1100). This entirely software-based solution allows two standard industrial PCs that both run the same PLC program to operate as redundant controllers in just a few easy steps. An additional, high-performance network connection between the two controllers provides the necessary synchronization. Standard Ethernet is used here, so no dedicated hardware components are required. With minimal effort, this ensures that only one of the two industrial PCs addresses the fieldbus components at any given time, and that the control programs are executed simultaneously on both computers. This synchronicity is the basic prerequisite for changing the primary industrial PC in the event of a fault without losing any information.

With modular automation, process technology plants can be flexibly implemented and adapted with little effort. Rigid automation systems that have been operated unchanged for years are increasingly becoming a thing of the past, with individuality and flexibility asserting themselves as the future of the process industry. The Module Type Package (MTP) is a concept that allows process technology plants to leverage maximum potential across the board, from the planning phase through to operation. This makes MTP a crucial component in the development of future modular automation solutions.

ClickTouch develops revolutionary Two Touch Redundancy Technology for critical situations: ClickTouch, the expert in the field of touchscreens and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI), has developed a technology that creates redundancy for capacitive touchscreens. Through this, their touchscreens work more reliably in critical conditions. Today, touchscreens with capacitive detection are the most common and the most commonly used form of touchscreen technology in industrial, medical and many other applications. However, these capacitive touchscreens have 1 important disadvantage: an unintentional activation of the touchscreen may occur because of minimal, unwanted pressure, heavy fluctuations in temperature or close proximity of a conductive object. And for certain critical situations, one will want to avoid the touchscreen generating unintentional actions. Because of that, ClickTouch has developed a new technology that sees a second, resistive screen installed underneath the first, capacitive screen. A touch is registered on each screen separately and verified on both screens combined. In other words, a touch is only registered when it is certain, intentional and has to trigger an action. This Two Touch Redundancy Technology is highly useful for various applications: medical procedures in which a drop of blood must not activate the screen or military and industrial situations in which a slight, unintentional touch can have grave consequences. But also in many other applications such as the transportation industry, safety equipment, the development of payment terminals and situations with greatly fluctuating temperatures, the Two Touch Redundancy Technology provides great benefits.

During the pandemic, there was an urgent need for large-scale reliable Covid-19 testing on the spot, for example, at airports or entrance gates to crowded events. Our customer, miDiagnostics, immediately decided to create a portable, ultra-fast PCR Covid-19 test system. In less than a year, we developed the associated ‘reader’, a device for thermocycling and reading out disposable assay test cards. We also supported the development of these test cards.

Hover Technology At ClickTouch, we focus heavily on innovation in Projected Capacitive (PCAP) touch technology, especially regarding reliability and safety. Our hover technology are truly revolutionary. With our hover technology, operators can control the screen without making physical contact. By simply hovering their hands over the display, they can perform specific tasks. This is particularly useful in medical and industrial environments where hygiene and safety are paramount. By eliminating the need for physical contact with the HMI, this technology enhances hygiene. Its ease of use also ensures that every action is intuitive and, therefore, safe. Discover our newest UltraTouch demo featuring Hover Technology, capacitive multitouch, and Force Sensing Technology. With these innovations, we elevate reliability to the next level in critical environments, ensuring redundancy through advanced multitouch capabilities and force sensitivity. ClickTouch Force Sensor Technology Finally, we’d like to introduce our ClickTouch Force Sensor (CFS) technology. This technology is integrated into our redundant keyboards and provides excellent tactile feedback—crucial in environments where operators wear gloves. Additionally, this technology is designed to last up to six times longer than traditional solutions, further reducing the risk of malfunctions and associated costs. The CFS technology also introduces new features, such as pressure sensitivity. This allows users to unlock additional functions by applying more pressure.

We automate where others capitulate: The WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 XTR not only stands out in extreme temperature environments of -40 °C to +70 °C. Its high impulse-voltage withstand also makes XTR the efficient and reliable solution for energy and process technologies. XTR – is our abbreviation for extreme protection against climatic influences, vibration, impacts and surge voltages. These conditions occur primarily in places in which technology is exposed to weather conditions, for example in the sector of renewable energy sources such as wind power, photovoltaic plants or in transformer stations. The automation systems used in these sectors often require additional and expensive protection features to “defy” the climatic and mechanical forces at work on them. XTR can be used without any additional measures, thus reducing the space requirements on the DIN rail, while reducing energy and maintenance costs and enhancing productivity. All of these features make the XTR the perfect “all-in-one” solution for feed-in management and monitoring of power distribution grids.

To improve engineering and manufacturing we believe that validation is important and leads to improved performance, results and lifecycle of a product. In our validation process we use our knowledge and experience in computer simulation, testing, DFMEA, qualification and other techniques. By using both preventive and corrective actions during the development, the optimal product can be achieved. Simulation | Testing | Qualification
