TFT screen adds range to HMI viewing
Omron reckons it has brought the power and versatility of its acclaimed NS series HMIs to an even higher level on the 5.7in range, with the introduction of a new TFT model.
This new series includes relays for single-phase current and voltage monitoring, relays for three-phase voltage monitoring (K8AB), plus a conductive level control model (61F-D).
Single-phase models are available for monitoring over- and undervoltage (including a version that also supports H/HH and L/LL operating modes on top of that), and monitoring over- and undercurrent.
Three-phase models are available for monitoring over- and undervoltage, and variants provide the addition of monitoring phase sequence and phase loss, and voltage asymmetry.

CX-Thermo support software has been specially developed for use with Omron's E5CN, E5EN, E5AN, E5ZN, E5AR and E5ER temperature controllers.
PLC software gains ready-to-run function blocks
Omron has introduced a new version of its universal PLC programming software, adding powerful new features, while maintaining the ease of use for which the company's software is renowned.
The conductive level controller is sensitivity adjustable, has a liquid supply or drainage function and a delay timer.
Features and benefits of these relays include three-phase power supply compatibility and a relay contact capacity of 6A at 250V AC.
There are models available with either one or two SPDT outputs.
Furthermore, LEDs on the front of the relays provide visual indication of power status, relay output condition, and alarm status.
Configuration DIP switches provide selection of the various functions, making the new relays highly flexible, as well as simplifying product ordering and allowing users to meet diverse application requirements with fewer product variants.
All the information needed to configure the relay is provided on the side of the product, including wiring diagrams, DIP switch settings, and part number/ function description.
With their innovative functions and compact size, the K8 series relays and 61F-D will address a huge range of application requirements.
Typical applications include monitoring generator voltages, providing chain breakage protection for conveyors, checking battery voltage, protecting pumps against idle running, monitoring phase sequence or phase loss on escalators, and monitoring liquid levels in tanks.
With these new monitoring relays added to its extensive range, Omron has further improved its one-stop-shopping concept, making the company the essential resource for industrial control components.
