Farnell partners with Eaton for Industry 4.0 solutions

Farnell has expanded the range of products it stocks from Eaton, including automation, safety, motor applications, power management and energy solutions. Farnell’s focus on industrial automation ensures that Eaton’s products are readily available, streamlining efficiency and enhancing effectiveness.

Eaton is playing a key role in transforming the manufacturing industry with its Industry 4.0 technologies. Its advanced automation products, analytics and AI empower engineers to improve factory operations with speed and precision.

Eaton products now available from Farnell include the easyE4 series of programmable control relays which provide a high number of inputs/outputs combined with a wide operating voltage range. The easyE4 series’ interrupt function and powerful processors enables faster response times during operation.

The supporting and intuitive easySoft programming software comes with four programming languages – LD, EDP, FBD and ST – as standard and an integrated web server. An Ethernet interface and the easyE4 display work with mobile devices and an HMI, or the XV-102 series Touch-Screen HMI Display can simply be used for visualisation purposes. If desired, the easyE4 Remote Touch Display can be used as a plug and play display solution.

The PKZ and DIL series push-in range of motor protective circuit breakers and contactors offer system designers faster and more cost-effective assembly and feature a combination model that integrates screw and push-in connections in a single device. This enables new devices to be easily incorporated into legacy control panel designs. Push-in connections can reduce assembly time by up to 50 percent, even when compared to tension spring terminals, providing significant assembly time savings. Push-in connection technology reduces wiring effort, improves quality, provides easy integration and is future proof.

“Eaton is a trusted supplier of industrial automation components,” says Eleanor Young, industrial category director at Farnell. “Our partnership with Eaton supports our Industry 4.0 portfolio, allowing our customers to purchase the latest and best automation products available.”
