The Power of Vision Industrial image processing is a real efficiency booster for many industries. Cameras replace a large number of sensors and are the basis for maximum automation of numerous processes. Barcode reading, dimensional inspection, quality control, parts tracking and identification, and production line monitoring are just a few of the applications. Automation and optimization equal greater efficiency, higher throughput, increased quality, fewer reworks and, last but not least, improved customer satisfaction. Plug and Play Murrelektronik has developed efficient and economical system solutions for integrating industrial image processing systems. The advantages include minimal installation effort as a result of decentralized, pluggable modules that can be mounted directly on the machine. This achieves…

Complex power supply systems with many components require reliable load protection. Switch mode power supplies are the core of these systems since they electronically monitor output voltage and output current. If there is a short circuit or an overload, protective devices downstream (for example circuit breakers) react slower than the power supply and do not ensure selectivity. This can cause critical situations like voltage drops or even cable fires.Our compact MICO modules help eliminate these problems: MICO is an essential component for protecting power supply systems! Target-oriented protection is a big challenge for modern power supply systems. MICO is an intelligent power distribution system that meets this challenge! Errors are found quickly while…

Here’s the dilemma, you consistently hit the same cable and wiring issue, the only solution you have uses existing products and you know the end result is far from ideal. But it’s all you have! This is a frustrating issue faced by many electrical engineers. Surely, there’s a better way, a better solution. Data Panel GmbH, a company in the Murrelektronik Group, has risen to the challenge and now offers an electronic installation solution for mobile machinery that is modular, highly flexible and future-proof. The market segment of mobile machines is still in its infancy when it comes to "rational installation technology". Although cable harnesses and terminal boxes are the dominant technology, in…
