A Year Full of Highlights
Siemens' last video podcast of 2016 reflects on the most interesting topics of the past year and also provides some insight on what's to come in 2017.
Extendable And Compact 64 Relay High Voltage Controller
December 21st, 2016
Online-Devices announces the brand-new USB/TCP controller series for industrial use from Intelligent-Appliance. those new controllers feature 32, 48 or 64 relays, and up to 277 VAC @ 10 AMP.
The series include 2 sorts of controllers: Ethernet controlled - IA-3152-E and USB controlled IA-3132-U2i / IA-3172-U2i. all the controllers have the ability to be locally extended to control thousands of relays while using a single channel of communication.

How Important Is Your Control Voltage?
December 2nd, 2016
Are you getting intelligence back from your control system?
Energy companies monitor the voltage and current supplied into every neighborhood. Wouldn’t you want to be able to monitor and be notified that a branch in your machines critical supply has suddenly changed?
Most systems are heavily dependent on a smooth stable power supply. Yet the installed device is the cheapest dirtiest and least featured device available.
Check out the NEW Siemens SITOP PSU8600!
This is the first power supply system that is completely embedded in Totally Integrated Automation (TIA). Not only does this facilitate especially user-friendly engineering in the TIA Portal, but also extensive evaluation of operating and diagnostics data as well as energy management functions.

For decades, manufacturers have had very few cost-effective options for handling low volume, high mix production jobs. No longer. Meet Baxter – the safe, flexible, affordable alternative to outsourced labor and fixed automation. Leading companies across North America have already integrated Baxter into their workforce, and gained a competitive advantage for their business in the process.
Sawyeris a proven solution for a wide range of tasks – from line loading and machine tending, to packaging and material handling. If you walk the floor of your facility and see lightweight parts being handled near people, you’ve likely just found a great job for Baxter. This smart, collaborative robot is ready to get to work for your company – doing the monotonous tasks that free up your skilled human labor to be exactly that.
Power Over Ethernet Managed Switch
November 20th, 2016
The EDS-P506A-4PoE series managed redundant Ethernet switches come standard with 4 10/100BaseT(X) 802.3at (PoE+) and 802.3af (PoE) compliant Ethernet ports and 2 10/100BaseT(X) or 2 10/100BaseFX Ethernet ports.
The EDS-P506A-4PoE switches provide up to 30 watts of power per PoE port, and allow power to be supplied to connected high-power devices (such as high-end PTZ camera and WiMAX devices) when AC power is not readily available or is cost prohibitive to provide locally....
