Basic managed IP67-Switch
Belden has extended its Hirschmann™ product range with a 9-port version of the OCTOPUS OS20 series. The Hirschmann™ basic software is installed on this layer-2 switch, which meets the requirements of protection class IP67. This software supports both various management and security functions and fast redundancy methods such as HIPER-Ring, MRP and RSTP. The new Fast Ethernet ports (10/100 BASE-TX) have vibration-resistant M12 connections in D-coding. Further features include a robust metal housing and an extended temperature range from -40° to +70° C. The OCTOPUS also meets EMC and fire protection requirements for use in rail vehicles. An E-1 approval with the German Federal Motor Transport Authority has also been applied for. As the switch can be cascaded in any way, decentrally structured automation networks with short transmission paths can be implemented with the respective terminal devices. The OCTOPUS’s redundancy method and a redundant voltage supply guarantee high network availability.

Nouveau module E/S pour les applications de sécurité
Le portefeuille de produits Lumberg Automation™ de Belden s'est enrichi d'un nouveau module E/S (0942 UEM 612) pour le système de bus de terrain décentralisé LioN-Link. Ce module, conforme aux exigences de protection de la norme IP67, possède quatre sorties numériques M12 offrant une limitation de courant de sortie plus élevée de 2 A par ligne et 6 A au total. Comme ces sorties sont conçues pour des applications de sécurité jusqu'au niveau D de performance de la directive Machines, le module E/S est particulièrement adapté pour la commande sécurisée d'actionneurs ou – après une coupure de tous les pôles de l'alimentation de sortie 24 volts - pour des fonctions de mise hors tension d'urgence. Les différents terminaux pouvant être connectés directement au module E/S, nul besoin d'ajouter des boîtes de connexion relativement coûteuses et difficiles à installer. Des solutions de sécurité avantageuses peuvent donc être mises en oeuvre, par exemple sur des machines et des installations ou dans le domaine du montage et de la manutention.

Solid performance in a difficult environment – full-year guidance confirmed
• Q2 sales up 14% in local currencies on solid business fundamentals and price increases, but down 1% in CHF as Swiss franc continued to appreciate. Süd-Chemie results consolidated for May and June 2011.
• Q2 EBITDA before exceptional items at CHF 241 million, down from CHF 264 million a year ago, negative currency impact of CHF 69 million.
• Q2 EBITDA margin before exceptional items reached 12.9% compared to 13.9% a year ago; Q2 EBITDA margin at constant currencies 14.3%.
• Q2 cash flow from operations of minus CHF 101 million as inventories rose due to relocation of production assets and the usual seasonality.
• Integration of Süd-Chemie progressing as planned
• Outlook: Clariant expects a more difficult but nevertheless solid business environment in H2 2011, characterized by softening demand. Based on this scenario, no further deterioration in currency markets assumed, and including Süd-Chemie consolidated for eight months, Clariant confirms its guidance for the full-year 2011 with sales between CHF 7.8 - 8.0 billion and an EBITDA margin of 13.5% - 14.5%.
CEO Hariolf Kottmann commented: “In the first half of 2011, business fundamentals were robust although global economic growth dampened compared to 2010. This is reflected in an improved underlying operating performance year-on-year. The results, however, have been adversely impacted by the massive appreciation of the Swiss franc. The recently acquired Süd-Chemie has met our expectations in the first two months of consolidation and the integration into Clariant is progressing as planned. These developments give us the confidence to confirm our targets for the full-year 2011.”
