Formed by a synergetic mixture of high-performance tools and intelligent features, Banner Engineering’s vision sensors and systems are cost-effective, easy to deploy, and capable of being implemented in thousands of applications.
As a whole, the machine vision sensors & systems portfolio can be split into the following:
Networks of conveyer belts & loading/unloading machinery undoubtedly project an image of harmony & fluidity within a manufacturing site, but it doesn’t take long for things to go wrong. Even a slight build-up or brief pause in any machinery can kick-start a domino effect that can lead to disruptions in the entire production.
Safety is one of the core components upon which an industrial business depends. Apart from ensuring the protection of the workforce, safe machines can bring positive changes in the operating efficiency and thus the competitiveness of a company. The entire process of guaranteeing maximum safety is a long & complex one but is built upon improving functional safety. Devices ranging from control systems to protection apparatus must function correctly in order to ensure long-term continuity and safety for workers.

Touch-Buttons
TR Electronic’s new electronic touch buttons measure the electric field to detect presence of a conductive surface (hand, finger, grounded metals or liquids). As soon as a hand or finger touches the button, presence is detected and the output state is immediately changed. The 100% solid-state design, with no moving parts inside, allows for unlimited operation without any wear. The buttons are not affected by objects which can typically trip an optical sensor, like loose clothing or any type of debris.
Push-Buttons
Our electronic push buttons are tripped by applied force, and not sensitive to conductive surfaces. This behavior makes them a perfect alternative for push button applications in which conductive liquids could cause a false-trigger. All buttons come with up to two external inputs; which can enable the device or drive the LEDs independently from the internal status of the button.
TR Electronic also offers special hygienic switches for the food industry with stainless material 1.4571, that are resistive against the extremely aggressive cleaning foam used to make machines hygienic clean. When manual cleaning is an issue, the low angle to the surface of 35° helps to avoids dirt residuals.

As communications technology advances, the limitations of a wired ethernet network became apparent in versatile and harsh industrial environments, sparking the need for wireless solutions. Today, it has advanced to such a level that it has become economic, convenient and resource-savvy.
Application Note:
A SINAMICS G120 drive is used as a speed axis and is controlled with a SIMATIC S7-1200 with the “SINA_SPEED” block.
A PROFINET-capable SINAMICS G120 drive is to be controlled via a SIMATIC S7-1200. The setpoint speed and a direction of rotation is to be specified.
Solution This application example shows the PROFINET connection of a SINAMICS G120 to a SIMATIC S7-1200 with SINAMICS Startdrive. The drive is controlled with the “SINA_SPEED” block which can be downloaded directly from a standard library in the TIA Portal.
Note The block “SINA_SPEED” is also be used with a SIMATIC S7-1500 controller.

SIEMENS APPLICATION NOTE:
The positioning of the SINAMICS G120 drive works with the function of the Basic positioner (Epos) and the function block “SINA_POS”.
A SINAMICS G120 drive with PROFINET is controlled and positioned with a SIMATIC S7-1200.
Solution The application shows the PROFINET connection between a SINAMICS G120 and a SIMATIC S7-1200 using SINAMICS Startdrive. The block “SINA_POS” is used for controlling and positioning of the drive.

Electric Lighting is often taken for granted when it comes to the consumer sector, and a similar, less-amplified case is sometimes found on the industrial side. Light has a great effect on us as humans. Purely from the workers’ perspective, poor lighting can lead to problems such as headaches, fatigue, eye strain and stress.
Interconnected systems are becoming hugely popular, and the core focus of every company is to ensure a level of automation that would make their processes efficient, reliable, and safe.
Internet of Things or IoT is probably the biggest buzzword in factory automation today, and makes up for a key aspect of the ongoing industrial revolution, i.e. Industry 4.0. It basically describes the technologies that enable objects to communicate with each other, from consumer electronics to industrial assets. And there’s no better medium for communication then the network of networks, Internet.
