The ROCK 4 SE will fill the Raspberry Pi hole in your heart

The ROCK 4 SE will fill the Raspberry Pi hole in your heart

We are extremely excited to announce that we are carrying the new ROCK 4 SE single-board computer (SBC). While it is not a “drop-in” replacement for the Raspberry Pi 4, the resemblance is uncanny.

Crouzet's Millennium Slim "The smallest logic controller ever"

We here at URS world headquarters were already quite impressed by Crouzet's Millenium Series of logic controllers (only one “n” in Millenium for those keeping google score). Never a company that rests on its laurels, Crouzet went and outdid themselves with the Millenium Slim series PLCs. Here are 4 reasons we think you will be a convert:

1. SPACE REDUCTION: The Millenium Slim is the smallest logic controller ever with a total width of 17.5 mm (.69 in). 

2. MULTIPURPOSE: With multiple functions, the Slim can replace any number of products in your control panel. 

3. INTERCONNECTIVITY: Onboard Bluetooth technology allows for wireless connectivity to easily access your applications. 

4. SIMPLICITY: Intuitive "easiest-to-use" software and smartphone virtual display allows for cable-less quick start and fast maintenance. 

If you are interested in more information on the world's smallest logic controller with all the power of the infinity stones (hyperbole), we encourage to you to reach out to your URS account representative at (503) 233-5341 or email us at sales@ursele.com

Not convinced?! Crouzet has a great page with all the "infos". (Take me there now!)

Two must-have Crouzet products for your automation toolbox

As mentioned a few months prior, URS is now a vendor of Crouzet products. While some of our readers are familiar with Crouzet, we want to circle back around to highlight a couple of products we think are particularly useful.

Crouzet's SYR-Line Universal Digital Timer lives up to its moniker with a wide time range (0.1s to 100-day delay), universal voltage input (12 to 240 VUC), and universal mounting connection. Furthermore, it includes ALL the classic TDR functions with such hits like: OFF-Delay, ON-Delay, and REPEAT-cycle. For anyone in the world of industrial automation, the SYR-Line Universal DT is a must have. 

In addition to the timer, we highly recommend checking out Crouzet's phenomenal Millenium 3 series of logic controllers. To say that it "slices, dices, and purees" would be a gross understatement (despite the humorous pop-culture hyperbole), as the M3 combines monitoring, timing, counting, temperature control, level control, and countless other functions in one easy-to-use logic controller. Besides the astounding array of functions, the other aspect we like about the Millenium 3 is that it sheds the myth that powerful and complex logic controllers must be a pain to program and use. Even better, one can download the M3 software for FREE via the Crouzet website, and start working out logic control functions on a theoretical basis before applying them in the real world.

Crouzet is an independent company manufacturing electromechanic and electronic components providing: Switches and Sensors, Electromechanical Actuators, Electrical Protection Equipments, and Automation Controllers and Relays. For more information on Crouzet logic controllers, time delay relays, and other products, please reach out to your URS representative.

Crouzet's Millenium 3 logic controller: function without the hassle

PH_88974053.jpg

Of their Millenium 3, Crouzet boasts that it is “the logic controller for everyone, for everything”. We can count that statement as TRUE, without a doubt! When they say, “for everything”, Crouzet did not stutter as the M3 combines monitoring, timing, counting, temperature control, level control, and countless other functions in one easy-to-use logic controller.

What about “for everyone”?

Well, for someone like myself, of who my stepdad intoned “you have to be smarter than the seatbelt” – the M3 uses the most intuitive programming software on the market. Dubbed M3 soft – even the name is easy – it is a quick and simple program that requires no expert knowledge, and boasts a handsome function block based graphic interface. That is to say, ‘this guy” with the use of the online help guide and some youtube videos had no trouble creating block layouts for pump controls and an AC motor alarm system.

The greatest thing about the Millenium 3 is that it sheds the myth that powerful and complex logic controllers must be a pain to program and use. Even better, one can download the M3 software for FREE via the Crouzet website, and start working out logic control functions on a theoretical basis before applying them in the real world.

Crouzet has wonderful breakdown of the Millenium 3 on via their website (psst! do not forget to download the free software and play around).

If you like what you see, or are curious how I came to be “smarter than the seatbelt” with Crouzet’s Millenium 3, please reach out to your appointed URS account representative. No rep, no problem, simply call us at 503-233-5341 or email sales@ursele.com for assistance.

Now it's video time, cheers!
