The new 4-channel GigE Nvidia Jetson Xavier NX-based Edge AI Vision Inference System, EOS-JNX, features smart PoE (Power over Ethernet) and PoE loss detection, dedicated GigE bandwidth, and 100m GigE cable nondrop frame capture. The EOS-JNX series is a compact, reliable, integrated vision system designed for PoE camera-based applications with high image quality. The AdLink Edge Vision Analytics software development kit provides five manufacturing scenarios and AI software partner-friendly integration architecture for future-proof AI-based vision applications across industrial safety, food and beverage, and smart manufacturing industries.
EtherNet/IP to DNP 3.0 Master Gateway
ProSoft, prosoft-technology.com
The ProLinx EtherNet/IP to DNP 3.0 master gateway creates a connection between devices on an EtherNet/IP network and DNP slave devices. This stand-alone DIN-rail mounted protocol gateway provides one Ethernet port and one serial port. The EtherNet/IP protocol driver supports the explicit messaging implementation of the protocol. User-configurable as both a client and a server, the EtherNet/ IP port can be used as a data transfer tool. The DNP 3.0 Master protocol driver supports master implementations of the protocol on one port, which is fully configurable. These gateways can be used in industries ranging from discrete manufacturing and oil and gas to electrical power and food processing.
Isolated Voltage Probe
Saelig, saelig.com
The Saker-MV ISOVP probe enables high-voltage isolated measurements via fiber optic cables. Optical fiber isolation provides high-voltage safety and increased signal integrity due to absence of induced interference from external fields. This also allows for much higher common mode rejection compared to conventional differential probes. The probe head can be remotely put in standby, or even powered off, for increased user safety and battery power savings. This means the user does not need to reach into potentially hazardous, high-voltage areas to turn off the equipment when measurements are not needed. Up to 15m of fiber cable can be fitted between the probe head and receiver. The probe head uses standard 1.5V AA batteries, with LEDs to indicate low battery conditions.
On-Machine Drives
Rockwell Automation, rockwellautomation.com
Rockwell Automation has announced the release of a new line of Allen-Bradley Armor PowerFlex AC variable frequency drives for industrial motor control applications. The on-machine drives provide for quick installation, simple commissioning, and predictive maintenance, the company says. The Armor PowerFlex drives move controls and hardware out of a cabinet and onto the machine. This can help industrial companies simplify machine designs and minimize costs, as well as time to deploy. The drives are also designed for harsh environments, where reducing installation time and cost are most critical. The smart drives include an embedded EtherNet/IP dual-port switch, which provides fast collection of real-time data. The drives also monitor component life, allowing users to predict and schedule component replacements to help avoid costly unplanned downtime.
