New wireless I/O and PROFIsafe capabilities expand SMC’s EX600, enabling flexible connections for robot tooling while reducing field wiring and complexity.
A single cable now carries power and encoder feedback between KEB S6 and F6 drives and TA and DL3 motors, simplifying wiring on multi-axis machines.
IO-Link is regarded as a robust field-level network that adds tremendous sensing capability beyond standard analog and digital I/O. Yet it can be difficult to set up. Here’s a guide.
Factory-programmed dGo motors combine brushless DC power with built-in motion control for repeatable applications such as conveyors, pumps, and cooling fans.
New CPX-AP-I additions give machine builders configurable digital I/O and CC-Link IE Field Basic support while retaining Festo’s decentralized I/O architecture.
The DXMR190 IO-Link master combines eight-port connectivity with edge processing to stream data directly to cloud systems and web servers without an edge PC.
New motion-safety functions for NORDAC ON VFDs enable safe speed control, monitoring, and stopping while supporting PROFIsafe and FSoE industrial Ethernet networks.
