FIL20 I/O Hub with IO-Link

Turck is adding to its family of IO-Link single input/output (SIO) hubs with both the FIL small (8
points) and FIL large (16 points) variants. These hubs are ideal for use by machine builders and
integrators in a range of industries.

Thanks to our new CMMT-MP family of multi-protocol servo drives, machine builders can work smarter — not harder. Each drive supports EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, PROFINET and Modbus TCP communication protocols, reducing drive inventories, strengthening supply chains and simplifying engineering efforts through the use of one familiar platform. At Festo, the multi-protocol servo drives have already enabled us to reduce our part numbers in inventory from 24 to 8 while simultaneously improving deliveries to our customers.

The newest Siemens power supplies are reasonable-priced, reliable, efficient, and available to you!

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 were buzzwords long before they presented real advantages or opportunities to most companies. Though they took some time to come of age, the many interconnected devices and the sophisticated networks and software connecting them are now real considerations for businesses large and small, worldwide, in 2019. As we enter the last stretch of the 2000’s second decade, the futuristic promises of the Industrial Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 have become realities. However, with these opportunities comes a number of risks.

The switch from UL508 to UL 60947-4, which were originally instituted in 2012 and became officially required in 2017, presented some challenges to manufacturers and engineers, especially those working with international clients. Siemens, Rittal, and other leading manufacturers have tried to make this transition easier, and facilitate international trade, by providing components that meet both UL and EIC regulations. Understanding that industrial engineers are responsible for not only their own safety, but also successful electrical design to protect the entire plant and all the staff, Siemens and Rittal have also provided information to help engineers navigate these changes and stay safe on the job.
