In times of Industry 4.0, Smart Factory and networked communication systems, the need for data and the requirements for data transmission are constantly growing. This is why we supply the right network switches for your Industrial Ethernet system.

Now available online and in a re-usable screw-top jar, ECS offer WAGO 221 Series Wire Splicing Connectors in both 4mm and 6mm with 2, 3 and 5 wire connectors. Just pull the lever up, insert a conductor and push the lever back down – done! The 221 Series Splicing Connector connects solid, stranded and fine-stranded conductors easily, quickly and safely. Save time for installers and device manufacturers. Quickly install devices with higher power consumption. Safely install long cable runs with larger conductor cross sections.

What are the similarities and differences of Ethernet cable, and what does it mean for your next factory automation project? Also learn about 3 considerations you should have in mind when designing, planning, and implementing Industrial Ethernet networks.

As an Industrial Engineer or Integrator, you already face enough challenges from the exacting requirements and tough conditions you face from demanding applications. Network technology should be making your life easier, not more difficult. This month, we look at some of the new technologies from Moxa that aim to keep things simple.

The WAGO 221 Series Splicing Connector promises top contact quality – and delivers. Even over decades and under more demanding environmental conditions, the contact between the connection point and conductor remains stable. This is demonstrated by the salt spray test, which simulates the aging of the WAGO splicing connector with lever in more intense atmospheric conditions.

Better than the standard – that is true of the conductor retention force of the compact WAGO 221 Series Splicing Connector. The video shows the conductor pull-out test in fast motion. This is a standardized test used to check the conductor retention force of splicing connectors. The 221 Splicing Connector withstands at least twice the tension required by the standard.

The WAGO 221 Series Splicing Connector doesn’t get rattled, even when shaken vigorously. When screw-type terminal blocks give up, the 221 is only just getting started. The contact quality of the WAGO 221 Series Splicing Connector remains even with 2000 hertz vibration.

Switched-mode power supplies provide DC voltage to control circuit loads such as PLCs, Operator Panels/ HMI, Network switches, Industrial PCs, Vision Inspecting Systems, High-End sensors etc. These control circuits also need wiring protection and if the load has no protective unit of its own, device protection as well.

WAGO‘s marking materials, printers and software are perfectly synchronized for seamless marking. Generate all marking data directly via smartScipt marking software. You can use this printer to print marking strips, marker cards and labels for WAGO terminal blocks and for conductor, cable and device ID marking, push button markers, shrink tubes, and type plates.

Our Flat TPS Electrical Cable is suitable for fixed wiring installation for power circuits in domestic, industrial and commercial situations. We have white, yellow and blue sheath options in 1mm to 6mm conductor sizes on 100m and 200m drums all available cut to length. All sDoc's are available on request.
