AS-Interface power supplies exceed 90% efficiency
Pepperl+Fuchs VAN-115/230AC-K19 AS-Interface power supplies are designed to be more than 90% efficient and limit the need for enclosure cooling.
Pepperl+Fuchs introduces VAN-115/230AC-K19 AS-Interface Power Supplies. These Class II power supplies are 90.5% efficient to minimize power loss, while also limiting the need for enclosure cooling. A compact 42 mm wide design enables users to stack these AS-Interface power supplies side-by-side to reduce the size of their enclosure.
VAN-115/230AC-K19 AS-Interface Power Supplies support input voltages from 85 V ac to 264 V ac to satisfy a wide range of application requirements. They deliver up to 2.8 A output, and a unique PowerBoost feature can deliver a temporary output power increase up to 3.2 A. An LED display provides quick visual status indication.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
