January 29, 2024 The MELSEC iQ-R Series CIP Safety module implements safe communication over CIP Safety (Common Industrial Protocol) while transmitting both standard and safety signals to devices and equipment Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. has designed the MELSEC iQ-R Series CIP Safety Module to ensure safety signal transmission to a diverse range of devices and…
IO-Link is a powerful field I/O protocol capable of handling traditional field I/O along with diagnostic data from intelligent field devices including device health, configured parameters, and performance. IO-Link master modules are the interface between field devices and higher-level controllers/information systems, and they also control data traffic between the connected devices. Two IO-Link master modules are now available that convert IO-Link signals to/from EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, and MQTT.
B&R’s new digital output module X20DO4332-1 has integrated pulse width modulation and is a cost-effective alternative to motor modules. In addition, the module offers a dither function that prevents valves from sticking. Pulse width modulation (PWM) is mainly used for controlling larger loads, such as motors. Instead of using electronics to regulate a continuous input voltage down to the desired motor voltage, the motor is controlled by the width of the switching pulses.
May 20, 2025 Electromate is expanding its lineup of collaborative automation solutions with the addition of three advanced models from Universal Robots: the UR7e, UR12e, and UR15. These robots provide enhanced options for payload, reach, and precision in demanding collaborative applications. The UR7e delivers a 7 kg payload, 1300 mm reach, and ±0.03 mm repeatability. Positioned between the UR5e and…
January 9, 2024 Work safely and productively – with safety switches from Pilz Movable guards such as swing gates and sliding gates, flaps or covers, can be found in almost every application. If there are dangerous overrun movements, a safety locking device with appropriate manipulation protection in accordance with EN ISO 14119 is required. The safety gate cannot be…

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.
December 15, 2025 By Krystie Johnston Vention has been democratizing automation since 2017, and their 6th annual Demo Day demonstrated another step on that journey. For those unfamiliar with Vention, they are headquartered in Quebec and describe themselves as the creator of the world’s only AI-powered full-stack software and hardware automation platform. For those who are… Read More…
December15, 2025 Discover why 3D CT X-Ray is a game-changer for AI hardware quality inspection of server boards Welcome to the Age of Invisible Defects Generative AI is everywhere, from writing your emails to generating art and code. But the real magic happens on server boards so densely packed, even the best engineers can’t see all the connections…. Read More…
