Sixty-nine leading plastic machinery manufacturers introduced new machines based on B&R control technology at CHINAPLAS 2014, the world’s second largest plastics industry event. Once again, the B&R booth was the exhibition's de facto hub for plastics…
With the ACOPOSmotor, B&R combines a servo motor and drive in one compact unit. Safety technology can also be integrated as an option. This gives developers more freedom when designing a machine and can save valuable space in the control cabinet.
All B&R controllers have an FTP server on board as a standard feature. A protection mechanism with integrated username and password management now makes accessing this server even more secure – without sacrificing ease of operation.
B&R is extending the X20 I/O system to include 2 additional modules: A temperature measurement module with 4-wire resistance measurement and an energy metering module with 4 current inputs for connecting external transformers with a 333 mV output.
B&R continues to advance the integration of OPC UA in the B&R Automation Studio development software. With POWERLINK, openSAFETY and OPC UA, B&R offers its customers the perfect tools to meet the high demands of Industry 4.0.
More than 100 machine manufacturers, end users and partners from the People's Republic of China and Taiwan took part in the B&R User Meeting in Shanghai. The meeting focused on open automation technologies and how the manufacturing industry can…
With two new X20-series modules, B&R continues on the path of miniaturization. The X20DO8323 offers 8 push/pull outputs in the X20 form factor, and the X20DO6639 is a 6x relay module for 30 VDC or 230 VAC.
With reACTION technology, B&R is able to reduce response times in industrial automation applications down to 1 µs. This new approach allows extremely time-critical subprocesses to be managed using standard hardware – all within the requirements of…
B&R is adding two new helical members to its premium family of gearboxes: the 8GP70 series with a shaft output and the 8GF70 series with a drive flange. These new products series offer excellent synchronization characteristics and a very low noise…
Modules from B&R's X20 controller system are now certified for ATEX Zone 2 and HazLoc Division 2 environments. These modules can now be used in locations where explosive atmospheres may temporarily occur in the event of an error.
