November 2011 Operator Interfaces, Switches & Relays

Schneider Electric South Africa has announced the Harmony XB5R range of wireless, battery-less pushbuttons, available in plug-and-play packages the devices are designed for easy use in industry applications.

The packages are composed of a 24 V DC non-programmable receiver with one relay output receiver or a 24-230 V AC/DC programmable receiver with two relay outputs. Six LEDs at the front of the programmable receiver enable fast implementation by indicating power-on, signal reception and more. For PLC applications, the range also includes a programmable receiver with four PNP outputs. An external antenna to enhance signal transmission and an ergonomics box for remote use are available as accessories.
