Eaton introduces the Modbus RTU module to complement the range of communication options for the easyE4 control relay, allowing the mini-PLC to be used as both a master and slave unit.

Eaton already presented the DG1 General Purpose frequency drive that is suitable for any application up to 630 kW and enjoys new modern functionalities with pump and fan algorithms. Now Eaton is launching a Micro variant of the same model that also fits into very compact enclosures.

Eaton's full range of motor protection switches, contactors and motor starter combinations has been expanded to include a portfolio of components with Push-in connections. Current formats have been taken into account by keeping the new range almost identical in size. The new range therefore offers nothing but benefits.

Using plug-and-play I/O modules on your standard components, you can bring I/Os to the components without redesigning the machine control or replacing components. With a single cable and one click, you connect all the I/Os on your normally 'non-intelligent' Eaton components that you now use in your current conventional control. This makes them intelligent without replacing them. Eaton's intelligent 'SmartWire' cabling solution communicates in this way both inside and outside the control cabinet, and also brings energy to the relevant components. This allows you to not only handle the I/O on the components, but also read valuable data from your processes and from the components themselves. As a result, you can easily and quickly update your control system to Industry 4.0. Whether that's today, tomorrow or in a few years.

Although the provisioning of care homes is often well organised, on the flip side there is sometimes still room for improvement, especially where hygiene processes are concerned. With that in mind, Jop van Haaren, director and owner of Less2Care from Raalte, set out to work ten years ago. The result? The VacuSan: an automated solution for the safe vacuum sealing and disposal of used incontinence materials. The electronic parts of the operating system are delivered as a kit – a customer-specific package – by itsme. “As a customer you don’t need to worry about it anymore.”

Design and delivery of industrial turnkey projects, automation of operating systems; Mario Claes, owner of Etec Systems in Balen \(Belgium\), has been drawing on a continuously growing source of experience since fourteen years now. Each situation reveals unique challenges. Each solution contributes to an ever expanding range of knowledge

On the outskirts of Hengelo-Zuid tons of waste are given a new purpose each year. Through incineration, separation and composting, energy and raw materials are extracted and find their way back to society. With the heat that is released during incineration, Twence generates enough power to provide half of all households in the Twente \(region in the Eastern Netherlands\) with electricity. In order to guarantee the continuity of all the plants, operators carry out regular inspection rounds in the installations, so good visibility is important. In switching from fluorescent lighting to LED, Twence enlisted the help of itsme.

eReM provided complete electrical installation for new shipyard in Kenya Sometimes a project seems to have been arranged from front to back. But what if you are asked at the very last minute to show what your company is capable of? At eReM in Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands, they know all about it. In part thanks to a rock-solid offer they convinced their end customer – an internationally operating Dutch shipbuilder – to come on board with them. And in this case literally because, as it concerned the installation of the entire electrical system of a new shipyard in Kenya, the components were shipped by sea freight. Their main challenge? In the preliminary phase everything had to be 100% correct. This required thorough preparation in which eReM could count on support from itsme.
