The three new protocols are designed to directly control the LE range of electric actuators, providing real-time, high-speed communication as well as added security, thanks to a dual port IN/OUT. The controller is ideal for general machine builders that rely on accurate speed, position or force, but at the same time look to improved flexibility and stronger security. The DLR option gives added security and peace of mind as communication continues, even when there is a disconnected element. In addition, real time feedback is achieved through numerical data input, in addition to half/full duplex high-speed communication. The JXC is yet another example of a recent innovation from SMC, with several new product launches taking place from the end of 2016 to date. Now using four of the most common networks within process and automation applications, JXC Series opens the door to simpler and closer control for customers. Due to its clever design, JXC Series delivers a wealth of savings in terms of space, cabling and maintenance for customers. SMC is the world’s leading pneumatics provider and has been voted for three consecutive years as one of the most innovative global companies by leading business magazine Forbes. The company prides itself on working closely with its customers, and through its technical support structure is able to provide solutions that improve productivity and reduce overall production costs.
