Configuration Software GE Fanuc Automation added Max-ON Extended to its Max-ON backup redundancy software family. Designed for the advanced user, Max-ON Extended is coupled with the power and functionality of Ethernet data synchronization and accommodates more than 5,000 I/O points. A standard utility provides dialog boxes for selecting system configuration details, as well as on-line diagnostics reporting, communication status, and I/O fault reporting. Special functions include analog input scaling, program equivalence testing, selection of master CPU, and synchronization of application program variables. Faults and alarms are logged automatically in the fault history table, where reference address, fault description, and date and time stamp are recorded for up to 32 records.

Rotary Paddle Unit Monitor Technologies' rotary paddle unit has a motor shut-off feature that is designed to prevent motor burnout. When the paddle is impeded, the motor shuts off and returns to normal operation only when the material level drops and the paddle is free from obstruction. The units have multiple sealed bearings and a rugged powder coated cast aluminum construction. The standard units are rated to 300° F. Models include a high-temp model for temperatures up to 750° F, an explosion-proof model, and a fail-safe model. Monitor Technologies, (+1) 800-601-5953

Multiple Compressor Controls The Smart Sequencer MIC-4000 from Kaeser Compressors controls multiple compressors installations and maintains system pressure. It prevents simultaneous start-up and loading of compressors, reducing current spikes. In the event of a power failure, the product automatically restarts the compressors, retaining its pre-programmed memory. The sequencer also alternates base load and peak load compressors to ensure that the compressors accumulate equal service hours. It can be programmed to sequence to 5 different compressor combinations per day, and 32 different sequence combinations per week. Kaeser Compressors, (+1) 724-339-9500

Impact Cradle Martin Engineering's Guardabelt medium-duty impact cradle is designed for conveyors facing loading zone impacts to 12,000 lb. The impact cradle is available for belts from 24 to 72 in. wide, operating at speeds to 750 fpm. Installed below the belt in a conveyor loading zone, it will absorb the force of falling material, preventing damage to the conveyor's belt and structure and stabilizing the belt line to control spillage. In conforming to CEMA Standard 575-2000, the cradle will absorb the impact of lumps weighing to 150 lb falling 7 ft or 50-lb lumps dropping as much as 20 ft. It is adjustable to fit the standard 20°, 35°, and 45° trough angles. Martin Engineering, (+1) 800-544-2947
