We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "DIN-rail",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Low-cost mini PLC suits low-end users from
Bosch Rexroth - Electric Drives and Controls, which we summarised at the time by saying "Installation costs for Rexroth's IndraControl L20 are reduced significantly because of simple DIN-rail mounting and flexible multilead connection
technology".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Safety isolators cut power consumption from
MTL Instruments Group: "The reduced power consumption and high efficiency of the isolators enables high signal densities to be achieved, together with improved freedom in cabinet layout and design".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Baumer Group
concerning its FlexTop versions 2211, 2221 and 2231
- take a look at Transmitters suit varied applications
which says: "FlexTop versions 2211, 2221 and 2231 allow the input to be configured for a resistance thermometer as well as for thermocouples, resistance sensors and current or voltage signals".
Take a look also at the news release from AutomationDirect, Report of great strides in industrial Ethernet,
as well as Timer and controller range finds UK source from Dalroad Norslo,
and Digital meter gets the measure of power from Tyco Electronics - Energy Division.
