HW and TW series of switches:
New contact block and full voltage adapter/transformer
Several innovative design enhancements have been added to our popular 22mm HW and TW series of switch products. The biggest enhancement is the consolidation of the finger-safe, exposed-screw, and spring-up type contact blocks into a single universal-type contact block that incorporates all these features. Advantages of the new universal-type contact block include:
- Spring-up terminals
- Ability to accept both ring or fork terminals
- Side entries for wiring
- Gold-plated option
- Finger-safe (IP20) rating, protects users from accidental electrical shocks
- Identical ratings and agency approvals as existing blocks, no need to derate.

 | Gain More Visibility for Your Substation with IEC 61850 MMS Solution In substations, real-time monitoring is always of critical importance. However, for those substations whose operations run on a large number of legacy devices, real-time monitoring can be a big challenge. While most substations are open to the idea of retrofitting, they are most of the time curtailed by tight budgets. For them, the ideal solution is one that bridges a legacy infrastructure to an IEC 61850 network without breaking the bank. |

 | Set Up Modbus RTU to Modbus TCP Conversion in 60 Seconds It is no secret that converting industrial protocols often comes down to burning the midnight oil, often frustrating engineers with this time-consuming task. Hence, it’s no surprise that they are always on the lookout for ways to sidestep this tedious process. Now, there is good news: a friendly standalone gateway that guides engineers through the whole configuration process in less than 60 seconds, making protocol conversions much easier. |
 | How to Design Corrosion-Resistant Equipment for Harsh Industrial Environments Corrosion is a major cause for equipment damage and failure in harsh industrial environments, causing billions of dollars of direct losses per year in industries around the world. In addition to the financial costs, structural damage caused to critical equipment and structures, such as an oil pipeline, can pose a risk to humans and the environment. Here we discuss some of the techniques used by equipment manufacturers and owners to counter the effects of corrosion. |
