ABB releases new UPS Selector Guide & Toolkit for various applications

Do you know why IP67 matters in industrial computing?   What keeps systems running strong in dust, water, vibration, and extreme heat is the right protection. IP67-rated solutions like Winmate’s G-WIN Series are built to handle it all. With a fully sealed design, sunlight-readable displays, and wide temperature tolerance, these rugged PCs deliver mission-critical reliability across manufacturing, food processing, oil & gas, and outdoor operations.   Discover how IP67 protection ensures long-term efficiency: https://lnkd.in/gMBnErJZ   #IP67 #GWinSeries #IndustrialAutomation #RuggedComputing #IndustrialPC

One voltage surge can stop everything. The right protection keeps you running. Whether you control a process with a computer, a process control system, a PLC, or a field device, a surge protector can eliminate or reduce the risk of damage to sensitive electronics caused by transient overvoltage. Control systems are smart. Protecting them should be smarter. When and which surge protector to use – is a question with multiple possible answers, application/installation dependent. The scope?  Plug. Protect. Perform. The most important? Know what and where to search for. In our post, we outline three P+F surge protection solutions—for signal lines, for supply lines, as well as for Fieldbus and Ethernet-APL applications. A starting point, since surge protection isn’t one-size-fits-all—it is application-specific, and each of the groups shown includes a number of different devices.

Axle Counter An axle counter is a device on a railway that detects the passing of a train between two points on a track. A counting head (or detection point) is installed at each end of the section, and as each train axle passes the counting head at the start of the section, a counter increments. A detection point comprises two independent sensors, therefore the device can detect the direction and speed of a train by the order and time in which the sensors are passed. As the train passes a similar counting head at the end of the section, the counter compares count at the end of the section with that recorded at the beginning. If the two counts are the same, the section is presumed to be clear for a second train. This is carried out by safety critical computers called ‘evaluators’ which are centrally located, with the detection points located at the required sites in the field. The detection points are either connected to the evaluator via dedicated copper cable or via a telecommunications transmission system. This allows the detection points to be located significant distances from the evaluator. This is useful when using centralised interlocking equipment but less so when signalling equipment is distributed at the lineside in equipment cabinets.

Standardization and documentation are crucial, but they have their limits. Remember the promise to return later and tidy up those patch cords? Each cable must be correctly positioned, and labeling is essential to assist both end users and your internal IT team. #ITInfrastructure #Efficiency

Hardware Tip Never underestimate proper grounding Proper earthing of network equipment isn’t optional ,it’s essential for safety and longevity, especially in lightning-prone areas. How do you protect your hardware from surges?

Tip: Use a surge protector. Protect your computers and devices from power spikes by plugging them into a surge protector instead of directly into the wall. ✅ Bonus: For critical equipment, consider an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to stay protected during outages. #DeviceProtection #WeeklyTechTip #TheComputerCenter

A UPS system should be protected from more than just power disruptions - it also needs ingress protection (IP20) to keep out solid objects that could impact performance. Vertiv™Trinergy™ was tested in our Reliability lab to ensure nothing larger than 12.5 mm can enter its enclosure, validating its safety and long-term reliability.
