The DX2400L9 DIACloud router offers flexible connection options, including 4G cellular network or WAN broadband interfaces, with configurable WAN/LAN ports. The router, which is compatible with leading PLCs, establishes a secure tunnel between users and remote sites via Delta’s DIACloud servers, eliminating the need for an additional VPN server. Its built-in firewall, packet inspection and security protocols protect against cyber-threats, ensuring safe data transmission. The router is said to offer “an optimal balance between affordability and functionality”. It enables secure remote connections, ensuring real-time data visibility and control, without needing an IT background. Delta www.delta-emea.com Router ‘will redefine remote control and monitoring’ KEB has launched a range of HMI displays that can be attached anywhere on a machine, eliminating the need to mount them in a control cabinet, and allowing users to position the HMIs near their machines. The IP67-protected C6 X1 Web HMIs are available in four sizes (7, 10.1, 15.6 and 21.5 inches). The HMIs have capacitive multi-touch displays and offer simple connections via Powerover-Ethernet (PoE), thus cutting cable costs. An IP67 rating allows the HMIs to be installed outside control cabinets, and they can operate in temperatures from –20 to +55°C without additional housings. The HMIs use the Linux operating system and come with a Chromium-based HTML5 browser. They are suitable for IIoT edge applications. Hardware updates are possible without changing the form, fit or function. The Helio HMI management system can be used to create intuitive displays quickly. It includes templates that provide professional interface designs. Users only have to configure and do not need to program the interfaces themselves.
