Daily Industrial Automation News and Tips:

Today we’re covering news about Banner, Inductive, Siemens, Schneider, Beckhoff, Opto22, Rockwell and more in our Automation This Morning blog for Thursday, February 9, 2023.

First up in our daily new product roundup is a 10 Meter Range version of Banner’s Q5X Laser Sensor here.

Banner has also added 3-Pin M8 editions to its S15L family, which you can learn about here.

Over on the SME website we have a new Cyber Security article here, which discussed challenges facing IoT and OT devices.

And on the Inductive website there’s a new customer article here which details the benefits of working with a stable company and SCADA product line.

In today’s product spotlight we’re highlighting The Automation School’s S7-1200 and S7-1500 Online Course. Details on the course can be found here, and like all The Automation School’s online courses, this course comes with lifetime access and instructor support.

Today in our pub crawl we ran across two new documents of interest on Schneider Electric’s website. The first is a new brochure for their Multi9 line of electrical protection devices here.

And the other is a new brochure on their power monitoring and metering devices here.

In today’s Audio/Video files we’re highlighting three new videos. First up is a customer application video from Beckhoff here.

Next is a new Opto22 Developer Video on the groov series here.

And the last is our latest episode of The Automation Podcast here with Rockwell Automation’s Ron Bliss.

In our Q & A section today we express our sincere thanks to everyone who sent in questions on the PanelView Plus 7 Series B models. Unfortunately, try as we might we’ve not been able to obtain a sample so we won’t be able to help on this latest edition of the product.
