Remote Access to Drives

The SREA-01 Ethernet Adapter enables access remotely to the vendor’s low voltage AC drives.

If a process alarm or fault occurs, the internal Web server of the DIN rail-mounted SREA-01 provides an easy-to-use user interface for accessing the drives and other process variables. Designed to optimize the remote interface to AC drives that have a Modbus-RTU port, the SREA-01 can send process data, data logs and event messages independently—without a PLC or a dedicated on-site computer. The adapter can connect a maximum of 10 drives to an Ethernet or GPRS(1) network. Installing an SREA-01 in complement with drives can significantly reduce downtime, costs and site visits where drives are controlling motors, says the vendor.

Laser Direct Structuring (LDS)—The structure of the conductor path is applied using the LDS process. LDS enables electronic assemblies to be made in flexible geometric shapes. Smart phones, hearing aids, and smart watches are becoming smaller and more powerful thanks to this process.

Electronic Assemblies Without PCBs

Laser direct structuring (LDS) is a special success story. For almost 20 years, it has been possible to apply electronic conductor paths directly onto plastic parts during series production.
