The new F600 Pump Drive forms part of Control Techniques’ new Specialist category of industry-specific drives. The F600’s wide power range, from 1.1kW to 2.8MW, makes it ideal for applications at any power, as well as for industrial heating and cooling.

Energy savings – unlocking the potential
One of the key benefits of Control Techniques’ F600 drive range is its abilities when it comes to energy-saving and efficiency optimisation. Specific features within F600 include sleep mode, which…

The original and very popular CLICK® PLC series has been serving the industrial control industry for over 12 years and has become the go-to choice for many experienced Plant Engineers, Electrical Technicians, Machine Builders, as well as, beginners and students. CLICK PLCs were designed with simplicity in mind, providing reliable control at a low, low cost and with little to no learning curve. This simplicity makes CLICK a perfect solution for small machines, home automation projects, pneumatic applications…

JSON Advanced setting has been added to the MQTT Topic Publisher in EasyBuilder Pro. Beside's being compatible with the existing simple JSON format, this function allows users to define JSON format with more flexible structure tailored to the cloud device they use. With this function, data transferred to the cloud can be generated in the required format without the need for an extra conversion tool, realising integration with diverse cloud services, turning conventional PLCs into IIoT smart devices…

We're exhibiting at the 3rd Annual Industry 4.0 Summit & Expo, Manchester 10 - 11 April 2019. UK's premier event for the 4th industrial revolution. We've exhibited previously at this event in 2017 & 2018.

Integrating miscellaneous factory automation equipment is rarely an easy task since often each machine uses a different controller. When integrating with other IT systems, the variety of protocols often presents a challenge. In 1995, the OPC standard was released to address this issue, in 2006, OPC UA (Unified Architecture) made it possible to get the same information from machines regardless of operating system.

The cMT-G02 communication gateway is not only equipped with an Ethernet port, but…

We're Exhibiting at the Factories of The Future Exhibition in Manchester Feb 28-March 2nd 2018.  The exhibition is running alongside the Industry 4.0 Summit - we're on Stand Q15 - you can register here for free to attend - come along and discuss how we can help you to quickly develop & build your IIoT & implement with new and existing machines.

Running parallel to the Industry 4.0 Summit, the Factories of the Future EXPO will showcase the latest products and services for Industry 4.0, IIoT, smart factories and the future of manufacturing. The expo will be attended by manufacturing professionals from the UK & continental Europe  and will givethem an opportunity to see the latest advances/ new technologies in automation, robotics, software, sensors, virtual reality, augmented reality and other related areas.

We will be showing products…

In IIoT applications, data integration plays a very important role, to achieve data integration, it’s essential that communication between onsite machines and upper layer data management systems (SCADA, ERP...etc.) is seamless, however, in factories where very often each controller uses a different communication protocol, data integration is challenging.

With more than 20 years of experience of HMI development, the Weintek R&D Team have released the IIoT Smart Communication Gateway: cMT-G01 as a…

Weintek have brought a great new innovation – the MT-8103iE, an HMI with built-in WiFi!

As the 4th industrial revolution takes shape, a growing number of users require their HMIs to connect with ERP or other monitoring systems. Although Ethernet is the most widely used communication protocol between HMI and monitoring systems, not every factory has Ethernet wiring - in this case, Wi-Fi connectivity provides a great solution.

Features

• 10.1" 1024 x 600 TFT LCD with LED Backlight
• COM2 and COM3 RS-485…

In the era of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), not only should the connectivity of equipment on the plant floor improve, upper layer management systems, such as SCADA, MES, ERP…etc, should be able to have immediate access to data produced by factory machines.

Weintek provides the best solution for communication between onsite machines and upper layer management systems. This is achieved with the cMT Series Smart HMIs (cMT-SVR & cMT3151), using the most common M2M protocols: MQTT and OPC UA…
