Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG, founded in 1850 and based in Detmold, Germany, is a leading provider of industrial connectivity and automation solutions. The company offers a wide array of products, including terminal blocks, connectors, relay modules, power supplies, I/O systems, and industrial Ethernet components. Weidmüller serves industries such as automotive, energy, transportation, and process automation, delivering reliable and innovative solutions that enhance industrial communication and control systems. Committed to digitalization and Industry 4.0, Weidmüller develops smart industrial connectivity solutions that support the seamless integration of devices and systems in industrial environments.
The u-control M3000 and M4000 controllers facilitate the combination of IT and OT systems and can be integrated very efficiently with the open runtime environment, u-OS.
Weidmüller expands industrial service platform “easyConnect” with a web configurator for PCB plug-in connector OMNIMATE®4.0. Last year, Weidmüller presented the industrial service platform “easyConnect” –which provides universal access to all of the company's digital services. It is far more than just “an account for all of Weidmüller’s digital services”.
With increasing digitalization, automation systems also need to become increasingly powerful and more flexible. Modular control systems such as u-control web can take on both automation tasks and IIOT tasks.Thanks to modularity and the use of newly integrated container technology, u-control web provides the best prerequisites here.
With the partial automation of work steps, time-intensive work such as the processing of cables can be carried out more efficiently. The new CUTFIX PRO as a purely electrical driven machine is supporting the semi-automatic cable confectioning in terms of cutting various conductors. Robust and compactly built, it fits on a single DIN A4 page and features fast processing times and flexible application options. It can cut conductors to length with the cross-section range of 0.08 mm2 to 10 mm2 (AWG 40-8) or an outside diameter of up to 8 mm.
The technology partnership between Phoenix Contact, Weidmüller, Reichle & De-Massari (R&M), Fluke Networks, and Telegärtner for the Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) has progressed to create the SPE System Alliance. In this group, leading technology companies from various industries and fields of application have come together to bundle their respective SPE expertise and ensure the target-oriented exchange of this knowledge. The partners in this group are pursuing the goal of driving the development of SPE further forward for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and may branch out to other areas as well. The System Alliance has now also been joined by Datwyler, Kyland, Microchip Technology, Rosenberger, SICK, O-Ring, Draka/Prysmian Group, and University 4 Industry.
