New Push-In Terminal Blocks Improve Connections and Simplify Panel Design

New connected technology reduces maintenance and increases reliability

Rockwell Automation introduces a new family of terminal blocks for improving wiring efficiency and the quality of connections. The Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1492-P series push-in terminal blocks offer reliable connections, increased time savings and less operator maintenance for an improved wiring environment.

In the past, spring-clamp, screw terminal blocks with unsecured wires left potential for loose connections. The new, vibration-proof terminal blocks feature a clamp to secure loose wiring and achieve a safe connection point with added space-saving benefits. The front facing terminals provide an easy sight line and access for wiring when compared to traditional screw-clamp terminal blocks.

“Older connection technologies required users to manually tighten screws to a specific torque and continuously check that the torque is in place after transit,” said Darren Miller, business manager, Rockwell Automation. “The new push-in terminal blocks provide quick and reliable connections without requiring screwdrivers or other tools for wire installation. Users can expect a total time savings greater than 50 percent compared to previous models.”

The plastic actuator feature mitigates potential shock hazards with a finger-safe design, which eliminates access to live metal

components. The new control power distribution and signal/sensor application-specific terminal blocks offer color-coded plastic actuators, which provide the customer visual indicators for proper

wiring inside the electrical panel. Every 1492-P series push-in terminal block offers a built-in test port, which allows users to easily monitor meter voltage and current. With many factories operating at different power levels throughout the plant, the test point verifies that

each terminal is operating with the appropriate voltage, mitigating the need to manually insert probes.

The push-in terminal blocks can also be used with wiring ferrules to further improve efficiency and quality of connection. In addition, twin-ferrule options are available for using two wires per connection. The Bulletin 1492-P series has been tested and approved for use with Panduit ferrules, a Strategic Alliance Partner within the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork program. A ferrule selection guide is available to identify the recommended ferrule for the selected wire size and 1492-P push in terminal block.

Identify, Mitigate and Help Eliminate the Risk of Automation Obsolescence

In today’s economy, it is necessary to have migration solutions that help achieve increased productivity and lessen your risk of maintaining legacy equipment. You need to work with a supplier that has the product, service, and industry knowledge to partner with on an upgrade strategy that will help maximize your competitive advantage.

Rockwell Automation and it's partners will work with you to outline a plan that fits your application needs and long-term goals. We can help you migrate all at once or in phases, at the pace that is comfortable for you and fits your budget.

With your goals in mind, Rockwell Automation has developed a migration strategy that will allow you to quickly and easily migrate from 855T to 856T Control Tower signaling system.

Bulletin 856T Features and Benefits

• The Control Tower 856T is capable of accommodating up to seven modulesin the same stack, offering customers the ability to monitor more machine or process conditions in a single device. The product line will be available for purchase as separate components or as pre-configured, factory-assembled stack lights for optimal flexibility.

• The system is composed of a base mounting adaptor, a functional power module and the required light and sound modules, up to 7 as required by the application.

• The Bulletin 856T also includes a series of non-stackable beacon-shaped light modules, designed for applications where a beacon is preferred over astack light. The advantage is that beacons and stack lights share the samemounting options, allowing for simplified product selection/configuration aswell as easier changes in the field.

• All Bulletin 856T light and sound modules are rated for 24V AC/DC, which allows for a significant reduction in the number of components to select while allowing for additional functionality not present in our 855T line. This new functionality includes multi-function light modules that can be configured via DIP switch to work as steady only, flashing, strobe (single or double pulse); an RGB multicolor LED light module capable of producing up to seven colors and an improved version of the rotating light module now available in six colors. All provide increased flexibility to meet the full range from basic to complex application requirements.

• To increase operator awareness, a series of different audible choices can be used either to complement the visual indication or provide separate indication of the machine’s status or condition. These sound options include multi-tone piezoelectric, multi-tone transducer, and recordable technologies.

• Direct control of the lights in AC voltage applications is achieved through an innovative extended range (120/240V AC) functional power module available in two versions capable of controlling up to three circuits or up to seven circuits.

• All of the light and sound modules meet IP66/67 for reliable performance in tough environmental conditions.

Why Upgrade or MigrateThanks to the latest advances in LED technology, the expectations of industrial signaling products have evolved and become more demanding. Users are looking for signaling devices that are not only brighter, but that offer greater flexibility to meet demanding – and changing – application requirements. These devices must also be easy to select and have the availability to support faster delivery of the machine or allow for easy configuration changes in the field.

While the Bulletin 855T has been a valuable part of our Control Tower signaling portfolio for more than 20 years, this product will no longer be available for sale after July 1, 2019 and consequently, it is the time to migrate to the new 856T ControlTower 70mm tower light system.

The new 856T Control Tower signaling system features a proven, modular construction design similar to the 855T but incorporates brighter LED illumination and a broad offering of sound technologies all in a 70mm diameter housing. This new design allows the 856T to meet the widest range of signaling applications with a reduced number of components (SKUs) without compromising functionality and flexibility.

Smart home technology is growing by leaps and bounds, with the global smart home market projected to swell by 30 percent over the next two years (Statista). And, because smart lighting with LEDs offers a low-cost, low-hassle way to make homes smarter, it’s the first step for many homeowners.

What are the key trends driving market growth in smart lighting?

• Greater affordability: Smart lighting technology is not necessarily new, especially if you include early, more primitive examples such as simple outdoor light timers. But truly smart, network-connected devices are much newer — and until recently, they were cost-prohibitive for all but a small population of early adopters with disposable income.

• Better technology: Twenty years ago, LED products were expensive and exceedingly rare in residential spaces. Instead, homeowners relied on multiple lighting technologies, all with their own pros and cons. But today, LED lighting has normalized to the mass market and is every bit as expected as the CFL bulbs that began replacing incandescent lights in the late 20th century. Just as important, modern wireless technology has transformed LED lights from simple lighting fixtures to sophisticated wireless communication platforms.

What do consumers want to achieve with smart lighting? Where do they shop for smart home products?Multiple factors can motivate homeowners to adopt smart lighting and other smart home solutions. “Besides the desire to turn lights on and off remotely, there isn’t a single

key driver for all consumers,” said Bryant Bilal, marketing manager at Eaton’s lighting division. “But you can navigate this landscape a little more easily if you split consumers into three personas.”

• Tech evolutionist: The tech evolutionist is an early adopter. They believe technology should fit more seamlessly into the way we live and are quick to seek out solutions that offer a refined, integrated home and lifestyle. Online or home improvement retailers are often their first stop.

• Home curator: The home curator cultivates a thoughtfully designed home that provides an outlet for self-expression as well as an enjoyable place for friends and family to gather. They purchase life-enriching products that are aesthetically pleasing and easy to use, normally via big-box retailers.

• Traditionalist: The traditionalist wants the good life, finely tuned to their own standards. They seek smart home solutions that make life easier, but these solutions have to fit easily into the home. Traditionalists don’t want to end up with an unsightly hodgepodge of devices or spend a lot of time on setup. They often rely on a builder or contractor to purchase products that fit their vision for a carefully curated, finely tuned home.

Despite the recent explosion of smart home technology, many consumers are still mostly in the dark about the nuances of smart lighting. “They know the end result they want, but they don’t know what’s available,” Bilal said. “For example, a lot of people want to host the perfect dinner party, and they understand lighting plays a role, but they

need more education on available products and where to get them or who can install them. Some consumers have a solid understanding of connected lighting principles and available products, but that segment is much smaller.

“If you’re a residential builder or contractor, you have a chance to inform your customers and educate them about what’s possible, creating an opportunity to make them happy and grow your business.”

How do smart lighting solutions help homeowners create the perfect moment?Smart lights can be manipulated for specific situations and even personalized at an individual level. For example, owners can create special lighting scenes for family movie night or a romantic dinner by dimming the lights and selecting a color temperature. Lights can also be manipulated to complement the time of day.

“Eaton’s Halo Home Smart Lighting System includes indoor lights that are great for the den or living room,” Bilal said. “These lights can transform the space throughout the day, starting with wake-up lights at maybe 2,700K to a lighting scheme that leverages natural daylight at midday to general downlighting at night.

“Previously, owners had to make all of these adjustments at the wall. Now, Halo Home allows you to schedule lighting scenes — for example, wake-up time every weekday at 7 a.m. or movie night every Friday at 7 p.m. I programmed my own smart lights to help my kids get ready for school in the mornings. Our kitchen lights brighten to 4,000K at breakfast time, which helps everyone get ready for their day and catch their ride to school on time.”

Security is another key consideration for many consumers, and smart lighting systems like Halo Home give homeowners remote control of outdoor and indoor lighting via an app or voice assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa. “You can schedule your outdoor flood lights to turn on from dusk to dawn, starting at 50 percent brightness and increasing to 5,000K at midnight,” Bilal said. “It’s comforting to know that my exterior lights are burning brightly to keep my family safer when we’re asleep, yet the lights aren’t disturbing our neighbors during the time between sunset and bedtime.”

What are examples of smart lighting systems on the market, and what makes them different?“Today, most smart lighting systems can claim at least one big selling point,” Bilal said. “For example, one manufacturer has had a great system on the market for bulbs for about seven years. It’s hub-based, similar to internet with a wireless router, where all communication passes through the hub. While this process happens quickly, it does create a small amount of latency. Homeowners also need to purchase

the light bulbs, remote controls, table lamps and other components separately — and the hub can only control a limited number of lights at a time.”

“Another large manufacturer makes a smart home system for wall controls that’s really popular with pros. It doesn’t include lights — just the wall controls. It’s a nice product with some limitations. For example, homeowners don’t have the flexibility to create some of those moments, like date night, or control individual light fixtures. The system also doesn’t incorporate white tuning or color tuning for lights.

“I think Halo Home is a great combination of the two. It includes white tuning, outdoor floodlights and wall controls. It can be built up to fit the needs of a tech enthusiast, yet it also targets the mass market — those home curators and traditionalists who know they want solutions to make their lives easier and better but may not be familiar with the complexities of connected lighting,” Bilal said. “If you’re a contractor, you can even sell Halo Home to your customers and commission it without having to hire an audiovisual subcontractor.

“This is a key differentiator,” he said. “Many smart lighting systems require contractors to hire outside companies for installation and setup and wait for an internet connection, and the homeowner still has to purchase a hub. On the other hand, with Halo Home, you can simply install the lights, download the app on your device, create an account and begin using the system, making it turnkey. It doesn’t require a hub or an internet connection, and because each light communicates with the system via Bluetooth Mesh, there’s no latency.”

Regardless of which product is right for you, one thing is certain: smart home technology is here to stay. From enhanced home security to voice control and increased connectivity, the masses are flooding the market in an effort to make their homes smarter and more in tune with the way families live and operate today. If you’re a builder, remodeler or distributor, you can keep a jump on the curve by staying in tune with trends and knowing your customers, inside and out.

Ethernet IP Cable Set for Dimetix D-Series Lasers

In July’s edition we informed you about the new D-Series Laser Distance Sensor. Since then a new Ethernet IP cabling solution has been developed. While Ethernet IP is a great method of networking sensors to your PLC control systems, devices that are not POE usually require separate cable runs for power and Ethernet. Many devices share the same connector protocols. Laser-View Technologies has designed a unique cable set for the Dimetix D-Series Laser Distance Sensor using Ethernet IP communication that provides a solution to this challenge. This cable set simplifies connectivity to these lasers as they also are not POE enabled. Each laser sensor has a separate M12 power and M12 Ethernet IP connector.

Our modular cable set solution includes two parts plus a method of extending the effective cable length:

Part 1 (at sensor): P/N 000952-15, M12 8-pin male Y-cable to M12 4-pin D code (Ethernet) plus M12 4-pin A code (power). Fifteen feet long. Provides a single cable for both Ethernet IP communication and power, terminating into a single M12 8-pin industrial connector.

Part 2 (at PLC): P/N 000953-6, M12 8-pin female cable to RJ45 (Ethernet) plus power leads. Six feet long.

Apply a standard M12 8 pin twisted pair male to female industrial Ethernet cable in between part 1 and part 2 to make this any length you need. The small M12 head allows for running cable through conduit.

Key benefits:

• Modular approach to cabling power and Ethernet IP

• Length is configurable via M12 extension cables

• Ethernet cabling can be run easily through conduit with this modular approach

* Note that this cable set will work for any Ethernet Device with similar ports.

Why Surge Protection?An unexpected electrical power surge can be costly. Not only can expensive technology be damaged or destroyed, downtime can damage brand reputation.

Surge ProtectorsProper grounding is also a primary key against surge hazards. If a system is not properly grounded, it won’t function as designed. In addition to its indicator for system degradation, SurgeGate also provides indication of ground fault, which provides an additional fail safe for a more robust installation.

When ITW Linx AC protectors are used with SurgeGate modules for data and voice applications, all lines to your valuable equipment are safe from costly surges and automatically grounded via a single, common ground connection. All ITW Linx computer surge protectors, including SurgeGate, have the auto re-set circuitry feature which allows the protectors to automatically re-set after duration of surge conditions.

Network Surge ProtectionITW LINX CT6-POE-RJ45 is the most economical POE surge protector in the market today. Designed with the same high quality components as our Surge Gate™ modular protectors the CT6-POE-RJ45 protects communications and security equipment including but not limited to security cameras and wireless access points (WAPs), in campus environments as a building entrance protector. The CT6-POE-RJ45 is UL Listed 497 & 497A , exceeds TIA/EIA 568 & 758 for CAT6 performance. While other surge protectors claim CAT6 performance, the CT6-POE-RJ45 delivers it at a price point that allows installers, and end users the ability to use surge protection in lower cost systems. The compact design and RJ45 in and out termination allows for quick installation. The CT6-POE-RJ45 is a Gigabit rated surge protector and protects all types of POE, POE+, POE++ devices. The CT6-POE-RJ45 is a point of use surge protector, and can be installed at the equipment end, or ahead of POE injectors and mid-span devices. Always follow installation instructions when installing surge protection devices.
