Nord Drivesystems has relaunched its myNord online portal, making it easier to con gure and order drive systems from its portfolio of gears, motors, geared motors and drive electronics. All con guration steps are carried out on one page. Selected functions are displayed on the right of the screen. Search options include motor power, output speed and torque. A new plausibility check ensures that the con gurator only displays options matching entered requests. Additional information and explanatory texts facilitate con guration. It is now possible to con gure and check the conformity of Atex geared motors. www.nord.com/en/home-uk.jsp White Paper highlights need for digitalisation in water industry Schneider Electric has published a White Paper with insights from its rst European Water and Wastewater Technical Workshop, which brought together leaders from 17 water and wastewater companies in the UK and EU to discuss the future of the sector. The paper, The Digital Wave: Transitioning from Legacy to Digital Solutions in Water Management, explains how modernisation requires the integration of IT and OT systems, support for legacy systems, and automated conversion tools to streamline the transition. It contains advice on digitalisation and sustainability for companies of all sizes. https://drivesncontrols.news/idj1pet3 Miniature leadscrew configurator gets an upgrade Thomson Industries has upgraded its online leadscrew selector tool with enhanced con guration capabilities for its miniature (2, 3 and 4mm diameter) models for applications that need compact, precise motion. The upgraded tool introduces a dynamic model that helps users tailor machining and end-support options. They can con gure support ends with standard journal options and choose from an array of drive-end con gurations, including integrated motor couplers for rapid prototyping and oversized journals. The customised designs link to Thomson’s Web site. www.thomsonlinear.com/ls Web site offers more than 100 tutorial videos on robots Fanuc America has launched a Web site oering engineer-led tutorials on robots and cobots to help anyone learn, troubleshoot and master robotic automation. The site provides engineerguided tips, more than 100 video tutorials, and answers to common questions on programming and setting up robots and cobots. Search functions allow visitors to quickly locate tutorials that address their needs, while a categorised library can be sorted by general robot function, application or robot type. The site is intended to act as a starting point for anyone wanting to expand their knowledge of Fanuc robots. http://techtransfer.fanucamerica.com 48 n NEW PRODUCTS n DESIGN DATA AND MULTIMEDIA April 2025 www.drivesncontrols.com Siemens has announced a security event log function that simplies and enhances cybersecurity for its industrial drives. Security events are stored centrally using the Syslog protocol, ensuring they are tamperproof and preventing deletion by attackers. This enables post-attack analysis and early anomaly detection through cross-device event correlation. Standardised formats for Sinamics drives and Simatic and Sinumerik controllers reduce analysis eort. www.siemens.com Rockwell Automation has achieved the IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level Capability 1 certication from TÜV Rheinland, recognising that its Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755T-series LV drives and 6000T MV drives meet the stringent cybersecurity standards in IEC 62443-4-2. Achieving this certication for drives demonstrates their robustness against cyberthreats and ability to protect industrial systems from unauthorised access and potential cyberattacks. www.rockwellautomation.com Werma has announced a signalling system that integrates the display of a machine’s status into its surface. The LineLight Fusion system consists of linear lighting modules available in 50mm length increments from 100–1,500mm. A loud buzzer can be incorporated as an option. The smooth-surfaced modules mount ush with the machine housing. They can be attached using either movable clips or industrial adhesive tape. The IP65-protected system meets the strict requirements for hygiene and protection by minimising edges, where dirt can build up, and avoiding openings. It can be used indoors or outdoors. Werma Signaltechnik www.werma.com/en/index.php Configure and order drives rapidly online Power supply with IO-Link interface and display monitors power quality in real time Signalling system mounts on machine surfaces Puls has announced a 480W, 24V DC DIN-rail power supply with a built-in IO-Link interface and display, allowing user-de ned power supply and application data, such as AC and DC quality, to be monitored in real time. The CP20.248-IOL supply oers ecient, time-saving con guration, operation monitoring and remote control. Remote-controlled operation via IO-Link, and on-site analyses, are said to be quick and easy to implement. The 48mm-wide CP20.248-IOL is based on Puls’ Dimension CP20 series, and retains functions such as such as its 20% BonusPower at temperatures up to 45°C, active power factor correction, and electronic inrush current limitation. The power supply has a peak eciency of 95.5%. It ts into con ned control cabinets and puts minimal stress on DIN rails because it weighs only 835g. Puls UK 01525 841001 www.pulspower.com/uk
