Mouser microsite explores predictive maintenance

The new microsite explores the opportunities and benefits of predictive maintenance, supporting readers through their design journey.

Although developing predictive models that are easy to integrate and customized to the specific needs of manufacturers demands considerable time and research, the efforts typically yield substantial cost savings and a marked improvement in productivity.

To assist engineers with their designs, Mouser stocks the industry's widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, including the following predictive maintenance solutions:

• The WEIDOS MKR1010/ESP32 PLC controllers from Industrial Shields are designed for simple control and data storage applications in installations. They come in two main CPU variants, the MKR1010 and the ESP32, and feature 30-watt maximum power, 10% to 90% (non-condensation) operating humidity, and 24AWG to 14AWG wire connection cross-section AWG. The controllers are best suited for simple control and data storage applications in installations and other IoT solutions.
• The TXN Series AC-DC industrial power supplies by TRACO Power offer three power levels of 50-, 75-, and 100-watts and are easy to install in any equipment. They are convection-cooled and feature an internal EMC filter, high IO isolation, and a wide temperature range. TXN power supplies are ideal for cost-effective applications and are suitable for various industrial applications, including industrial/automation and test and measurement industries.
• TE Connectivity’s M5601 wireless pressure transducers are high-accuracy, 24-bit ADC digital output wireless sensors ideal for industrial and smart factory applications. These transducers are enclosed in stainless steel and PBT housing and eliminate hard wiring while providing remote process control and monitoring via Bluetooth 4.2 wireless communication. The M5601 transducers are suitable for measuring liquid or gas pressure, even for difficult media such as contaminated steam, water, and mildly corrosive fluids.
• The MS300 compact vector control drives from Delta Electronics support both IM and PM motor control for application flexibility and include a safe-torque-off (STO) safety mechanism. The compact systems have a communication card slot that fits various cards, a USB port, and PLC capacity for simple programming. It is ideal for machine tools, automatic tool changers (ATC), pumps, woodworking, packaging machines, and textile machines.
