Rockwell Automation’s Midrange Architecture provides machine builders with a scalable control platform to meet both their custom and standard machine needs. The new Allen-Bradley Compact GuardLogix® 5370 controller provides machine builders with the performance needed for both integrated motion and integrated safety on EtherNet/IP™. With Studio 5000® software as a single design and configuration environment, scalability has never been simpler.

Whether you are in the design, operation or maintenance cycle, engineers now can share code between different machine types and sizes, reducing the design cycle and commissioning time while improving uptime through the machine’s lifecycle.

Built on standard Ethernet TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP provides a simplified architecture for machine builders. The ability to be future-proof provides the flexibility and security to meet the end user’s needs while converging to the plant-wide network.

Features and benefits include:

• Built-in dual Ethernet port for Linear and DLR (Device Level Ring) topologies
• Integrated safety up to SIL 3, PLe, CAT 4, 1oo2 hardware structure
• Integrated motion on EtherNet/IP up to 16 axes
• Built-in energy storage eliminates the need for batteries
• Removable 1-GB Secure Digital (SD) card improves data integrity
• Support for kinematics eliminates the need for additional robot controllers and software
• Integrated Safe Torque Off SIL 3/PLe with Kinetix® 5500 and PowerFlex® 527
• Supports reuse of existing 1769 I/O
• On-Machine™ IP67-rated Armor™ Compact GuardLogix controller options

Introducing the SafeSide Easy Install Pass-Thru

In a continued effort to keep people safe and their assets secure, Grace Engineered Products are launching the Easy Install Pass-Thru device (R-3K).

The R-3K is a Permanent Electrical Safety Device that complements the existing line of SafeSide R-3W series voltage indicators used in the mechanical and electrical Lockout/Tagout process. 

Grace are always looking for innovative ways to keep voltage away from people and the R-3K not only keeps people safe, it also makes workers lives simple with easy installation; meaning decreased downtime and increased productivity. 

The R-3K is easy to install on any electrical cabinet door or on a cabinet flange with a 30mm standard knock-out next to a voltage indicator. There is no need for any additional wiring other than just passing three phase leads through the R-3K. 

To find out more about the R-3K please get in touch with your local Routeco branch. You can do this by emailing info@routeco.nl
