Torque Limiter With Remote Reset The popular Rexnord Autogard 820 Series Torque Limiter, which was designed to provide full disengagement on overload for high-torque applications, is now available with the option to remote-reset. This option is ideal for applications where the control center and the equipment are a considerable distance apart, or where the Autogard Torque Limiter is positioned behind complex guards and covers. From its disengaged posi- tion, it can be reset in seconds using pneumatic controls with- out the need to physically approach the unit. The remote reset feature is also available as a retrofit upgrade to existing installa- tions. www.rexnord.com Versatile Base Controllers The VB-2000 family of versatile base OEM controllers are now enabled with cloud communications. Programmed using the no-cost Divelbiss EZ Ladder Toolkit in Ladder Diagram, Function Block, and Structured Text, and based on P-Series PLC on a ChipTM technology, the VB-2000 controllers provide maxi- mum flexibility for interfacing to and controlling equipment, communicating with various serial bus protocols, logging sys- tem data, or adding Internet of Things (IoT) and Telematics capability to existing systems. The unit is mounted using industry stan- dard DIN rail and has a high I/O count with 12 digital inputs, three high-speed counter inputs, eight digital outputs rated for 2A each (which are all PWM capable), seven analog inputs that are user configurable as 0-5 V, 0-10 V, or 0-20 mA inputs and 1 analog output that is user configurable as 0-10 V or 0-20 mA. Additional digital and analog I/O, including thermocouple inputs, may be added using plug-in expansion boards. www.divelbiss.com Docking Station for Rugged Tablet The DS-DELL-600 Series Docking Station from Havis provides a lightweight docking solution for the new Dell Latitude 12 Rugged Tablet that is designed for productivity and longevity in tough mobile environ- ments.
