Tackling challenges and shaping the future: These are Murrelektronik’s SPS highlights
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. Our unique Vario-X 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.
Excellent idea: Murrelektronik receives award at the Alliance Industry 4.0 Award Baden-Württemberg
There is no way around the digital transformation of industry. And Murrelektronik is making it as easy as possible with its unique Vario-X system. This integrated system for the future of automation is causing a sensation not only in the industry, but also in politics and society – as demonstrated by its recent success at the Alliance Industry 4.0 Award Baden-Württemberg.
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. Our intelligent digital solution uKonn-X solves all these challenges at once. uKonn-X stands for ‘you connect anything’ – and this name says it all: like a guide, the digital system leads the user step by step through even complex installations or commissioning in an easy-to-understand manner.
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.
Save time finding instead of wasting it searching: Digital hub “My Murrelektronik”
Murrelektronik is one of the leading companies in automation technology and covers a wide range of products. The range currently comprises almost 95,000 different products. In order to provide customers with even faster and easier access to all the information available on this wide range of products, Murrelektronik is now offering a new, AI-based product and document search. Developed in collaboration with elunic, it is just one of the many useful features offered by 'My Murrelektronik' – the digital hub for all the company's information and digital services.
Always fully informed: Murrelektronik combines machine lighting and status displays in one compact LED luminaire
As useful as the head-up display in a car: With the new Modlight Illumix RGBW from Murrelektronik, machines and work areas can be illuminated optimally and energy-efficiently and status displays can be visually signaled. So, the operating personnel can always see where action is required. This prevents expensive machine downtimes and increases productivity significantly.
Robust and clever: Murrelektronik is now also bringing electronic fuses into the field
As the forerunner and leader in decentralized electrical automation technology, Murrelektronik offers a broad range of smart solutions to bring signals, data and power close to the process. The latest example of this is the Mico67 modules, with which a power distribution with electronic fuse can now be realized directly in the field. And all this with the intelligent shutdown behaviour familiar from the Mico family.
Compact all-rounder: The Xelity hybrid switch
Machine vision plays a central role in many applications. The more of these systems are used, the more important the question of the installation concept becomes. Murrelektronik has an answer that combines many convincing arguments. The new Xelity Hybrid Switch plays an important role in this.
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 SPS, the company will be presenting important additions to this system.
With joined forces: Murrelektronik and igus enter strategic alliance
Murrelektronik, the leading company in decentralized electrical automation technology, and igus, market leader for energy chains and a specialist for lubrication-free, high-performance polymers, have expanded their existing collaboration into a strategic partnership
