Farnell expands Eaton line-up for industry 4.0
Products by Eaton and available from Farnell include automation, safety, motor applications, power management and energy solutions. Farnell said its focus on industrial automation ensures that Eaton’s products are readily available.
Eaton produces a range of automation products, analytics and AI designed to support engineers improve factory operations with speed and precision.
The distributor offers popular Eaton products, including the easyE4 series of programmable control relays. These provide a high number of I/O combined with a wide operating voltage range and are suitable for industrial and building control applications. The easyE4 series relays feature an interrupt function and powerful processors to enable faster response times during operation.
Farnell also provides the supporting and intuitive easySoft programming software, available with four programming languages, LD, EDP, FBD and ST as standard and supplied with an integrated web server. An Ethernet interface and the easyE4 display work with mobile devices and an HMI, or the XV-102 series touch screen HMI display can simply be used. If desired, the easyE4 remote touch display can be used as a plug and play display, added Farnell.
Also available is the PKZ and DIL series of push-in motor protective circuit breakers and contactors. These offer system designers fast and cost-effective assembly and feature a combination model that integrates screw and push-in connections in a single device. This feature enables new devices to be easily incorporated into legacy control panel designs. Push-in connections can reduce assembly time by up to 50 per cent, even when compared to tension spring terminals, added Farnell. Push-in connection technology also reduces wiring effort for easy integration. It is also future proof, claimed Farnell.
The enhanced range of Eaton’s industrial automation products is available from stock at Farnell in EMEA, Newark in North America and element14 in APAC.
