Functionally reliable and easy to maintain
The new Hirschmann™ field-attachable GDM series valve connectors can be used to supply power to components such as solenoid valves, pressure sensors and temperature sensors, or to connect them to a data network. Circuit protection ensures that downstream circuitry cannot be damaged by excess voltage or electromagnetic fields. Versions with built-in LED status indicators (with or without circuit protection) are also available, making maintenance considerably easier. Depending on the version of the valve connector, additional features include the industrial protection class IP68, an operating temperature range of -40° to +90° C and high shock and vibration resistance. They play an important role in implementing reliable solutions that enhance the productivity of machines and systems, even under harsh environmental conditions.

Compact design and minimum cabling
Belden has added six new Fast Ethernet switches to the OCTOPUS range from its Hirschmann™ product series. Thanks to an integrated power supply unit these switches take up less space than designs with an external power supply and also require less cabling, which reduces possible error sources and thus increases the operational reliability of the connected terminal equipment. Three of the switches are unmanaged 10-port devices. The others have nine ports and feature layer 2 basic software from Hirschmann™, incorporating a variety of management and security functions and fast redundancy methods. Both the 9-port and the 10-port switches are available with or without PoE functionality and either a 24V or 110V power supply unit. The PoE versions are fanless with additional cooling fins, which provide effective temperature management resulting in longer lifecycles. All six switches have robust, compact die-cast zinc housings and are designed to operate at temperatures in the range -40°C to +70°C. They also fulfill the EMC and fireproofing requirements of the European standards that govern use in rail vehicles.
