ifm: L-coded cables for
the food industry
Daily cleaning of the installations with
a high-pressure jet is the norm for
many applications in the food industry.
The components used in this process
must meet hygienic requirements, for
example with regard to their material,
and also have a high protection rating.
The new IO-Link masters of the
PerformanceLine series are specially
designed for such applications. They
meet the IP65, IP67 and IP69K protection
ratings, the M12 sockets are
made of stainless steel and the seals
are made of EPDM. The new IO-Link
masters have either four or eight ports
and are available in two versions for
either PROFINET or EtherNet/IP. Since
the ports can supply actuators with
up to 2 A, actuators with high power
requirements, such as valve terminals,
can also be connected. A current
limitation can be set separately for
each port, and a current and voltage
measurement enables easy monitoring.
If several masters are used in one
application, the power supply can be
cascaded via L-coded M12 cables with
a daisy chain. This saves material, time
and costs during installation. The parameters
of the IO-Link masters and
all connected sensors can be conveniently
set via the moneo|configure SA
software.
Connecting sensors to IO-Link masters
in the food industry means that suitable
cables are needed, which also
meet the strict requirements. For this
purpose, ifm now offers a comprehensive
range of cables with connectors
that are L-coded according to IEC
61076. The proven ecolink technology
ensures a reliable and tight connection
through secure mounting, even without
tools. The L-coding and the cable
cross-section of 2.5 mm2 enable transmission
of currents up to 16 A. The
connection cables are available with
straight and angled connectors and in
lengths from 0.25 m up to 50 m.
Proleit: MES solution for the brewery
and beverage industry
It is no secret that the industry is currently facing a significant
overhaul linked to energy policy, digitalization and a
shortage of skilled workers. When it comes to tackling and
solving these challenges, the added value of a manufacturing
execution system (MES) becomes all the more clear.
As one of the leading suppliers in this field, ProLeiT will
be presenting its MES solutions, brewmaxx Integrate and
Plant Integrate iT, at drinktec.
