HannoverCONTROL ENGINEERING China版权所有, Germany – In this daily Report from Hannover Fair控制工程网版权所有, we focus on developing projects and technologies of particular interest to the Control Engineering audience. This second report focuses on wireless intelligent sensors, IP67 gigabit Ethernet switches, a robotic controller, safety products, along with some very rugged test gear.
Wireless intelligent sensor for energy efficiency
Danfoss IXA Sensor Technologies has developed a new technology that enables the continuous monitoring of severa

l core parameters required for climate control and energy consumption. The sensor measures temperature, humidity控制工程网版权所有, CO2 and other gasses simultaneously.

Megger Delta3000 10-kV Automated Insulation Power Factor Test Set is said to be easy to usewww.cechina.cn, ruggedwww.cechina.cn, and portable for field or shop use and designed to work in high interference switchyards of up to 765 kV.

An enhanced awareness of environmental impact, lower emissions and increased energy efficiency are specified as potential results. The multiple-measurement approach reportedly combines innovative principles of measurement with the use of special nano-materials. www.danfoss.com
Gigabit Ethernet switches in IP67 housing
During Hannover Fair控制工程网版权所有, Hirschmann Automation and Control reported the addition of a new IP67 switch with Gigabit ports to its Octopus series. The switch has eight twisted-pair ports (100 Base-TX) and two fiber-optic uplink ports (1,000 Base-FX) for an Ethernet link in humid and dusty environments.
According to Hirschmann, a high degree of reliability is achieved through fast redundancy processes using the Gigabit port and extensive management functions. The twisted-pair ports are designed as four-pin M12-D connectors and the fiber-optic uplinks are based on liquid crystal technology. www.hirschmann.de
Enhanced controller with high process stability
The new E controller from Kawasaki Robotics does not use a Windows operating system as other Kawasaki controllers do, and it offers high virus security coupled with
