Do you know when Motion has Stopped?
When a conveyor jam occurs you may not always know about it, which can cause damage to products and equipment. The innovative and compact motion sensor by di-soric delivers complete visibility of materials moving at speeds up to 1m per second. You can also combine the optical motion sensor with a standard rotary or incremental encoder to precisely detect any slip, before it’s too late.

Prevention of Common Hazards
Managing potential hazards is vital in today’s fast-paced food processing and packaging industries in order to prevent production delays, product recalls and lost revenues. TR Electronic understands that the prevention of contamination involves more than just developing policies and procedures during the manufacturing process. It requires selecting the proper equipment and components to prevent bacteria growth and delivering the most precise object detection throughout the entire production process. Common hazards which may impact eligibility for HACCP compliance include: Bacteria, Allergens and Contamination, We Can Help!
Cut Costs by Reducing Encoder Failures in Extreme Environments.
Motion and position applications can take a toll on your encoders, especially in harsh environments with extreme temperatures or when immersed in oil, steam, water or other contaminants. Often, these harsh environments result in an increase in operating expenses from production downtime and encoder repair or replacement. Reducing encoder failures can be achieved by selecting durable equipment that has been designed to endure extreme environments. Customers all over the world rely on TR Electronic encoders for a wide variety of applications. When it comes to difficult environments, TR Electronic is the preferred solution provider, with a number of options to solve your application challenge. Looking to Cut Costs?

False Trips, Production Downtime,How Much is it Costing You?
Did you know that “false or nuisance trips” can be a result of poorly aligned safety light curtains? Incorrect alignment in all 3 axis can cause dust or moisture in the environment to decrease the beam signal just enough to cause a short trip – stopping your process and costing you money from production downtime. TR Electronic Lightbarrier features on board status LEDs that help you ensure all optics are perfectly aligned during setup. Proper alignment the first time can save costly downtime from nuisance trips in the future.

ODVA is an international association comprising members from the world's leading automation companies. Collectively, ODVA and its members support network technologies based on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™). These currently include DeviceNet™, EtherNet/IP™, CompoNet™, and ControlNet™, along with the major extensions to CIP — CIP Safety™ and CIP Motion™. ODVA manages the development of these open technologies, and assists manufacturers and users of CIP Networks through its activities in standards development, certification, vendor education and industry awareness.
EtherNet/IP Technology Overview
DeviceNet Library
EtherCAT is the open real-time Ethernet network originally developed by Beckhoff. EtherCAT sets new standards for real-time performance and topology flexibility.
PI is the largest automation organization of its type in the world, with a network of regional offices and globally-based member companies. PI also has a network of competence centers, training and test organizations that contribute to and support developers, integrators and end users. No other fieldbus organization has a 'community' better able to support the automation market and its end users with solutions designed to help manufacturing enterprises maximize profits.
POWERLINK is CANopen over Ethernet" – even if this statement simplifies the matter, since it leaves POWERLINK's real-time capabilities out of the equation, it nonetheless captures an essential point about this communication system, which gives users the benefits of both of the latter protocols in one package. Hence, a proper evaluation of POWERLINK's advantages requires some basic knowledge of Ethernet and CANopen. This section will begin by pointing out the peculiar characteristics of the Ethernet protocol itself, which will make it easier to grasp the specific features described in the following section on “Technology
