Overview: Delta Industrial Automation

It's easy to think each of our vendors only carry one line of product.

Actually, it's easy for you to think we only carry one product... the one you buy.

Delta Industrial Automation is a perfect example of a supplier that is much more than just variable frequency drives (or maybe you buy their AC to DC switching power supplies)?

Here is what you can find on www.WolfAutomation.com just for our vendor, Delta:

AC drives - a full offering of high performance AC drives

Communication modules - you might not even realize that we carry a full line of communication modules (we are also an Advantech distributor). Ethernet, DeviceNet, RS-485, we carry a full line of communication modules and converters.

Industrial operator interfaces (HMI's) - Delta has a great line of cost-effective industrial operator interfaces, their series DOP-B.

Industrial power supplies - our Delta DVP and PMC series are among our most popular VDC output power supplies! Starting at less than $20, take a look.

This is just the beginning! Delta also carries an extensive line of programmable logic controllers (PLC's), temperature controllers and combination timer, counter and tachometer!

The Automated Odyssey: Automation in Travel

I figure since we’re taking the journey of ‘My Automation Education’, talking about traveling is not too far off base. How does automation fit into our travel adventures? In more ways than you’d think. Just call me your automation Odysseus!

If you have been on the Euro Rail, a high-speed train in Asia, or even most modern commuter trains you have been surrounded by more automation than you may think. Automation is a key component of modern-day people movement – from walking sidewalks and escalators to train stations and freeway entrance controls.

Flipping through a brochure about Advantech industrial communication systems I saw many recognizable features from my commute. Driving around the western Chicago suburbs I am no further from the LED displays and automated toll booths of the I Pass tollways than I am from the wind turbine components and industrial switches with anti-electromagnetic-interface capability of North Central Illinois’ wind farms.

The automated ticket vendors and gate controls of the Chicago subway system are visible examples of the benefits of automation for commuters throughout the world. Even the “door closed” sensors on subway doors are automation. Automation is what allows cities like New York, Beijing, and London with massive populations to move commuters more efficiently and more cost effectively.

The new China High Speed Rail operators built a network of more than 308.1km of fiber optics along the wayside of 22 stations. The controllers in the network ensure non-stop operation. Advantech’s industrial Ethernet switches allow backup circuits to be established in just 10ms!

Automation is everywhere you travel, and Marshall Wolf Automation is everywhere your automation needs take you.

Another step on the path to Knowledgetown...keep following along on the journey to 'My Automation Education'!

Remote I/O Modules

The ADAM Modules from Advantech are small devices for big applications!

ADAM I/O ModuleThese modules have been a consistent and reliable figure in the industrial automation field for almost 20 years.  Advantech's ADAM module has had its signature blue color ever since it originated in 1992.  The original design concept focused on its ability to be recycled and in fact, all of its housing and onboard terminals can be recycled and reused.  And each Adam shipping box contains more than 80% post-consumer recycled fiber. 

Each ADAM module is strictly tested by Advantech's production engineers and product quality controllers before it is shipped to the customer.  Advantech is looking into creating new lines of ADAM devices and hopes to share more information in the near future.  As your factory authorized industrial automation distributor, call us when you think of Advantech or I/O modules!

ADAM 6050-BE Modules

Reduce your sensor wiring costs with ADAM I/O modules from Advantech!

It is a trend to move I/O to remote locations to reduce wiring costs. Remote I/O is becoming smarter and equipped with control functions as they move from today's 16 to 64 I/O multiplexers to the smallest remote I/O units, with perhaps as few as four I/O in the near future.

The ADAM-6000 series is designed to realize the concept of the smart I/O blocks. With built-in GCL logic function, this series is a revolutionary smart I/O module close to the sensor layer in automation.

The ADAM-6050-BE is a high-density I/O module built-in a 10/100 based-T interface for seamless Ethernet connectivity. It provides 12 digital input and 6 digital output channels with 2000VRMS Isolating protection.

Main features are:

Provides default/customized web page
Supports Dry/Wet contact
I/O Type: 12 DI & 6 DO
10/100 Mbps communication rate
