Achieving Comprehensive System-Wide Standards

System-wide standards provide worker safety and product reliability, adherence to policies and legislation, interoperability among devices, and business benefits such as efficiency, profitability, and sustainability. In other words, system-wide standards are means to ensure quality among workers, processes, and products. In this issue, we focus on solutions that improve quality:

• in products by standardizing formulas

• in safety by standardizing safety relays across applications

• in data by standardizing network connectivity

• in environment by standardizing cable construction in harsh conditions

A single safety relay for all of your safety applications

ABB Jokab Safety

The RT6 universal relay offers the most versatile input option available on the market, so you can select the safety level required for each installation. These universal relays are ideal for use with typical safety devices such as emergency stops, gates/hatches and light curtains.

Safety goes hand-in-hand with achieving system-wide standards. If safety standards are properly executed production can increase due to an environment that values workers, the machinery, and the product. Safety relays monitor a safety system and can switch off quickly and reliable in an emergency. ABB Jokab Safety offers many safety solutions to keep you up with requirements.

Gain greater control of your network using rugged, industrial managed switches with GB ports

Moxa EDS E Series 

The unique features of Moxa's industrial Ethernet switches enable nonstop network connectivity and include proven industrial design, seamless integrated security, and optimized price-to-performance ratio. Built-in fast recovery Ethernet redundancy also ensures excellent availability for business continuity and productivity. 

Managed switches provide control of the traffic traveling over the switch. These features include:

• Quality of service - can ensure consistent  network performance by assigning a higher priority to critical traffic

• Virtual LANs - allows a switch to group devices together to segment and isolate network traffic

• Redundancy - safeguards a network if a connection fails by providing an alternative data path

• Port Mirroring - to diagnosis problems without taking down the network

Cable Construction for Ethernet

Turck

  Ethernet cables have the communication capability to connect devices, switches, and routers and transmit and receive data. To achieve system-wide standards of durability and performance, especially from harsh plant floor conditions, use Turck solutions to find appropriate cable categories and type of twists that are critical in construction. Industrial Ethernet cables are better for the plant floor than commercial Ethernet cable.
