Autonics was in for training and to provide lunch for our sales team this week. Autonics has a wide range of products and it is sometimes easy for great features and products to get lost in it all...

Multi-channel modular DIN rail temperature controllers, TM Series - I had no idea that Autonics carried something like this!

Solid state relays with integrated heat sink, SRH1 Series - a very competitive product, take a look!

Compact (and cute!) digital pressure sensors, PSAN Series - you will love the pricing on this!

Marshall Wolf Automation is an authorized industrial automation distributor for the complete line of Autonics USA.

Chint, a global manufacturer of electrical components, has an extremely low cost, basic type starter for the market and is very involved on the OEM specified equipment side, Their value, at their price points, is unmatched.  Here is a list of basic features:

Low Cost AC Manual Motor Starter/Protector
Chint NS2 Series

• Manufactured by Chint
• Available up to 80 Amp
• Rated voltages: 230/240, 00/415, 440, 500, 690

A starter is usually an assembly, that includes a contactor plus an overload relay, used to start an electic motor.  A major difference between contactor/overloads are rated by their current in amps while starters are rated by their horsepower capacity and the current they use.  In essence, a manual motor starter is basically an ON-OFF switch with overload protection and operates from a toggle handle or push button that is operated by hand.

The Dart DP4 series is a digital drive accessory for AC and DC drives that will accept 3-wire potentiometer input.

The DP4 is a digital potentiometer that is programmable and easy to read thanks to the 4 digit 1/2" LED display. The operator can adjust speeds in units directly related to the operation; conveyor FPM, pump GPM, 0-100%, etc.

The included gasket, when installed in a properly rated enclosure/panel with the DP4, will handle direct water washdown!

For regenerative drives the Dart Controls DP4 supports controlling both speed and direction via its output to the drive.

Two reasons customers use the Dart Controls DP4 is the repeatable settings and to improve the appearance/operation of their equipment.

Ultrasonic sensors present the ideal solution for non-contact position and distance measurement in all industrial areas where environmental conditions such as dust, smoke or steam may affect the sensors. Objects consisting of a variety of materials can be detected to within millimeters regardless of color or shape.

The ultrasonic sensor produces a data carrier utilizing very high frequencies that are outside the human’s audible range. The time it takes for that ultrasonic wave to pass between the sensor and the object is the value for the distance or the position.

Ultrasonic sensors have proven their reliability and precision in many industries and applications, including:

• lumber and furniture
• construction materials and equipment
• farming equipment
• level control applications

Pepperl+Fuchs’ ultrasonic sensors currently encompass twelve series of mechanical designs for through-beam, direct detection and retro-reflective operation. Customer and application specific custom solutions underscore our technological competence in this area of sensors.

Product features of ultrasonic sensors:

• Devices with TEACH-IN functionality for fast and simple installation
• ULTRA 3000 software for improved adaptation of sensors to applications
• Adjustable sensitivity to the sound beam width for optimized adjustment of the sensor characteristics according to the application
• Temperature compensation - compensates for sound velocity due to varying air temperatures
• Synchronization input to prevent cross-talk interference when sensors are mounted within close proximity of each other
• Sensors with digital and/ or analog outputs

Marshall Wolf Automation, your industrial automation distributor, is an authorized Lenze AC Tech distributor.  One of many applications utilizing Lenze Ac Techs MC series drives is illustrated below.

Did you know Lake Ontario cools downtown Toronto?  Icy water (4ºC/39ºF) taken from the bottom of Lake Ontario is sent to the Toronto Island Water Filtration Plant to be purified and then forwarded to a heat transfer station.

The treated water is utilized to lower the temperature of water used for air conditioning in downtown buildings and afterwards it flows into the city’s drinking water pipes. The project, initiated by Enwave District Energy Ltd., presently cools over 20 buildings in downtown Toronto. The Lake Ontario project begins with three high-density polyethylene pipes, 5 kilometers (3.10 miles) long, that reach 83 meters (272 feet) down to the bottom of Lake Ontario to draw the icy water and send it to purification systems at the Toronto Island Water Filtration Plant.

Here the water is screened, pre-chlorinated, filtered, disinfected, fluoridated and post-chlorinated. It continues with the pumps at the heat exchange station, the butterfly valves that control the flow and volume of the water, and the MC Series variable frequency drives that operate those valves. 

It is estimated that the project will save 59 megawatts of capacity to the province of Ontario, which can be translated into the electricity needed to power the air conditioning systems in 12,000 homes. It has also been estimated that air pollution reduction from the system will be the equivalent of taking 4,000 to 8,000 cars a year off the road. Now that's cool. 

Some benefits of the MC Series drive are:

• Automatic Transfer to Bypass Option
• PID Setpoint Control
• Program Controller as Direct or Reverse-Acting
• Keypad Option for Local & Remote Operation
• NEMA 1, 12,4, 4X Enclosures Available
• Proven Performance & Reliability
