Smart solutions for the future of automation: These are Murrelektronik’s automatica highlights

Our key highlights at a glance:

Brilliantly simple – simply brilliant: The Vario-X system

Why make things complicated and expensive when it can be done much easier and faster? This is the question that decision-makers are increasingly asking themselves when planning new automation concepts or retrofitting existing ones. And instead of laborious, time-consuming and error-prone point-to-point wiring in the control cabinet, they are turning to the future of automation: decentralized solutions. The Vario-X installation system is the holistic overall solution for this transition in industrial automation – a solution that seamlessly integrates all peripheral elements from the sensor to the cloud, regardless of the manufacturer. And this compatible with all major industrial protocols.

Digital guide: uKonn-X

Automation systems are becoming more intelligent and powerful, but also more complex. This leads to a higher probability of errors in the installation and connection of machine components. At the same time, the shortage of skilled workers is making it increasingly difficult to find specialists with an electrical engineering background. uKonn-X solves all these challenges at once: like a guide, the digital system leads the user step by step through even complex installations or commissioning in an easy-to-understand manner.

Complete turnkey solution for delta robots: No programming – just parameterization

Delta robots are the ideal choice for fast and precise pick and place applications. The parallel arrangement of the drives and the lightweight design of the moving components enable exceptionally high accelerations and speeds. Murrelektronik has developed a sophisticated, ready-to-use solution so that users of delta robots can achieve record speeds during installation and commissioning, as well as taking advantage of many other benefits.

Find quickly instead of searching endlessly: Murrelektronik has created a central digital infrastructure with “My Murrelektronik”

Murrelektronik is one of the leading companies in automation technology and covers a broad spectrum. The product range currently comprises around 50,000 main products, which are available in numerous different variants. The company has launched a new digital customer portal, "My Murrelektronik", so that customers can access all available information on this wealth of products even more quickly and clearly in future.

Safely a good choice: New, hybrid safety module for Ethernet/IP

Murrelektronik's MVK Fusion hybrid fieldbus modules unite three elementary functions of installation technology: discrete I/O, safety I/O, and IO-Link. This clever 3-in-1 solution is increasingly in demand worldwide, which is why the company now also offers a hybrid module for EtherNet/IP applications, utilizing the Common Industrial Protocol Safety (CIP Safety): the new MVK Fusion CIP Safety.

Convincing all-in-one solution: Murrelektronik presents new installation bundle specifically for single camera applications

Machine vision is playing an increasingly important role in more and more intralogistics applications. The more of these systems are used and the more different manufacturers are involved, the more urgent the need for an efficient, modular and manufacturer-independent installation concept becomes. 

Murrelektronik has developed a convincing all-in-one solution that offers many advantages. Just in time for automatica, the company presents a new installation bundle specifically for single camera applications: One-Cam-Connect.

A standard and its success story: MQ15 power connectors

System designers are increasingly opting for MQ 15 connectors to supply power quickly, cost-effectively and safely to asynchronous or three-phase motors up to 7.5 kW or to frequency converters. The MQ 15 connectors transmit high currents in the smallest of spaces – making them perfect for systems where space is limited. The standardization of the pin assignments for AC and DC applications in accordance with the international standard IEC 61076-2-116 and the resulting guaranteed manufacturer-independent compatibility have further boosted this trend. The highlight of Murrelektronik's MQ15 connectors: our innovative fast connection system reduces installation, service and maintenance time by up to 80 percent – and the connection is sealed to IP67.

Efficient, safe and robust: The latest generation of Xelity managed switches from Murrelektronik offers even more benefits

Decentralized and digital – this simple formula sums up what makes industrial network technology future-proof. Because the demands on modern automationc systems are increasing: maximum flexibility, minimum installation times and effortless expandibility are the keys to success. Ideal for today's modular automation systems, the latest generation of IP67-rated Xelity managed switches offers even more benefits.

Even more possibilities: Murrelektronik’s large IO-Link family has grown again

The demand for IO-Link has exploded in recent years: From 2022 to 2023, the number of installed IO-Link devices increased by an astonishing 89 percent. In total, there were already 51.6 million IO-Link nodes at the end of 2023. Murrelektronik also recognized this trend early on and has launched a complete IO-Link installation system in recent years. At the LogiMAT, the company will be presenting important additions to this system.
