dataFEED OPC Suite Increases Application Security With OPC UA Tunnel and Includes InfluxDB Support

Softing Inc., a leading global provider of products for industrial automation, IT networks and automotive electronics, announces the release of dataFEED OPC UA Tunnel, a new method to help customers secure communications between PLCs and business applications. Additionally, dataFEED OPC Suite version 5.30 can now move process data from PLCs to an InfluxDB database for storage.

Customers can now connect OPC Classic PLCs to OPC Classic clients through the OPC UA tunnel with dataFEED. This allows for easy and secure access to OPC Classic servers across network boundaries and firewalls without DCOM configuration requirements of OPC Classic. Using export and import, configuring each tunnel is quick and easy. Because the OPC UA tunnel uses standard OPC UA security mechanisms, including user authentication via certificates as well as data signing and encryption, this ensures maximum protection.

The OPC UA Tunnel extends the security benefits of dataFEED OPC Suite, which connects over 25 different types of PLC and specializes in Siemens connectivity. The dataFEED OPC Suite provides business systems with data access via databases and protocols like OPC, OPC UA, MQTT and REST to help manufacturing and process plants perform analytics and monitoring for process optimization. The dataFEED OPC UA suite currently supports 50 OPC UA Tunnel connections. Additionally, dataFEED OPC Suite version 5.30 allows process data storage in an InfluxDB for subsequent processing and analysis. InfluxDB is one of the most widely used NoSQL databases and ensures extensive scalability, high availability and fast writing and reading.

The dataFEED OPC Suite Extended is a complete package for OPC communication and cloud connectivity, providing access to the controllers of leading manufacturers and to IIoT devices. The suite acts as a gateway between the two OPC standards, allowing for integration between existing OPC Classic components and applications into modern Industry 4.0 OPC UA solutions.

Powerful Sensors for Tiny Spaces: Banner’s New Miniature Q2X Sensors

 

Banner’s new Q2X sensors feature miniaturized enclosures, which allow them to be fit into a wide variety of confined industrial spaces and equipment. Despite their compact size, these sensors deliver reliable, competitive performance, with robust excess gain and sensing precision to detect challenging targets. The next-generation Q2X series complements the available Q12 series of miniature sensors by providing a more expansive range of performance modes. The series includes a new standard adjustable-field background-suppression model with either a visible red photoelectric LED or a Class 1 laser emitter, a cost-effective polarized retro-reflective model, and an easy-to-align opposed-mode sensor pair.

 

DCS Easylaser Now Presenting XT20 andXT22 User Friendly Precision Laser 1 400

Now Presenting Easy-Laser® XT20 and XT22 – A User-Friendly Precision Laser Transmitters Ever Designed!

 

 One of the most important things during a machine installation is to ensure the flatness of the base. With the new XT20 and XT22 we have facilitated handling, which makes for faster measurements and fewer fault sources. More reliable machine installation, put simply. Both transmitters can be used for flatness and straightness measurement. In addition, the XT22 can direct the laser beam at 90 degrees to the laser plane, which means you can solve virtually all types of geometric measurement jobs. The area of use therefore does not stop at measuring the flatness of bases. The XT22 also has a higher technical specification for straightness thanks to fiber laser technology, and can take measurements at distances up to 40 m. The XT20 can take measurements at distances up to 20m but is also IP55 rated water and dust proof.  

 

MC Digi Key K78 Series Non Isolated Switching Regulator 1 400

K78 Series Non-Isolated DC/DC Switching Regulator from Mornsun

 

 

Mornsun’s K78 series is a high-efficiency switching regulator with the packages of SiP (system in package), SMD, or DFN, and the efficiency is up to 96%. They are designed as a pin-compatible replacement for LM78 linear regulators without any heatsink. K78 series offers excellent performance and advantages – such as high efficiency, wide input voltage range, and highly accurate output voltage. An automated production factory can guarantee quality and reliability at a low cost. Such a perfect solution makes designing a switching regulator circuit redundant. The regulated output K78-R4 series released has undergone a fundamental change in dimension and packaging which is manufactured via the chiplet SiP process, and the appearance of R4 has changed from simple and rough to refinement.
