Support in the development process

Mouser Electronics introduces its new online resource on predictive maintenance solutions, informing engineers of all skill levels about the latest cutting-edge technologies and products. The new website explores the capabilities and benefits of predictive maintenance and supports readers in their development process.

Although developing predictive models that are easy to integrate and tailored to manufacturers' specific needs requires significant time and research, the efforts typically result in significant cost savings and productivity improvements. A video illustrates how this transforms factory operations.

To support engineers in their designs, Mouser carries the industry's largest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, including the following predictive maintenance solutions:

• Weidos MKR1010/ESP32 programmable logic controllers from Industrial Shields are designed for simple plant control and data storage applications. They are available in two main CPU variants (MKR1010 and ESP32) and feature a maximum power of 30 W, an operating humidity of 10% to 90% (non-condensing), and a wire gauge of 24 AWG to 14 AWG. The controllers are best suited for simple control and data storage applications in installations and other IoT solutions.
• Traco Power's TXN series AC/DC industrial power supplies offer three power levels of 50, 75, and 100 W and are easy to install in any system. They are convection-cooled and feature an internal EMC filter, high I/O isolation, and a wide temperature range. The TXN power supplies are cost-effective and suitable for various industrial applications, including industrial automation and test and measurement equipment.
• TE Connectivity's M5601 wireless pressure transmitters are high-precision wireless sensors with a 24-bit ADC digital output, ideal for industrial and smart factory applications. Housed in stainless steel and PBT enclosures, they eliminate the need for hard wiring while enabling wireless process control and monitoring via Bluetooth 4.2. The M5601 transmitters are suitable for measuring liquid or gas pressure, even in challenging media such as contaminated steam, water, and mildly corrosive liquids.
• Delta Electronics' MS300 compact vector control drives support both IM and PM motor control for greater application flexibility and feature a safe-torque-off (STO) safety mechanism. The compact systems feature a communications card slot for various cards, a USB port, and PLC capability for easy programming. They are ideal for machine tools, automatic tool changers (ATCs), pumps, woodworking, packaging, and textile machinery.
