Avalue Supplies Tiers Of Panel PCs

Avalue, an industrial computer manufacturer, provides tiers of panel PCs for a variety of applications. Typical applications include industrial-level rugged electronic devices, handheld terminals, infotainment displays, human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and outdoor ticket machines. With its Intel Atom component, Avalue leverages its panel PCs to thinner, wider and greener applications. At present, Avalue has brought a full range of screen-sized Atom-based panel PCs into its product categories.

These include: the LPC series, a slim industrial automation HMI touch-panel PC, which features 8in (20cm), 10in and 12in panel displays; the FPC series, a modularised touch-panel PC, which features an 8.9in- to 22in-wide panel display; the PPC series, a thin-client all-in-one cost-effective touch terminal, which features 15in-, 17in-, and 22in-wide panel displays; and the MTP series, a medical-grade multi-functional touch-panel PC, which features a 12in to 17in panel display. Avalue also offers cost-conscious customers different options, including embedded computing boards, panel parts and housing materials, all of which are intended to save time and money and serve a variety of needs.

From the design to the production stage, the company's panel PCs are run with modular concepts to reduce costs. They also incorporate materials that will guarantee a long life, are safety compliant and are environmentally friendly. Their slimmer appearance is intended to make them more economical and easier to handle. At the packaging stage, Avalue endeavours to decrease the use of packing materials and shipping costs. The latest panel-PC designs comply with the Intel Atom platform. Avalue's panel PCs use light-emitting-diode (LED) backlights, which reduce heat generation in panel PCs. The LED backlight panels are integrated with Avalue's small screens of the FPC series, 0which lower the cost of the FPC series thanks to greater power efficiency and prolong the product lifecycle.

With the new technology of optical bonding, the company's panel display has greater luminance and contrast as well as reduced internal reflections. The screens have been designed to reduce glare, facilitate maximum light transmission and remain durable. Generally, the higher transparency and lower reflection features of the optical bonding panel save backlight power and cost and add to users' visual enjoyment, according to the company. The sunlight-readable panel is widely applied in places such as mass transportation and outdoor kiosk pavilions. A privacy filter protects the security of on-screen data.

A specially designed film blacks out the screen at viewing angles greater than 30 degrees. The privacy filter is generally used for applications such as ATM and aircraft passenger amusement. Avalue's touch panel incorporates a super anti-abrasion (SAA) five-wire resistive touch, which provides the best abrasion resistance and improves the safety of artificial operation. With the SAA technique, glass covers the top of the panel to avoid directly touching the film; it also improves the touch panel's performance in withstanding external attacks.

As reported by tests, the SAA enables Avalue's touch-panel PCs to reach 6.2 to 6.5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, which means it is highly resistant to scratching and is very durable. Additionally, the front-panel sealing also meets the IP65 water-/dust-proof standard, which is suitable for industrial controlling applications. The company also provides a variety of customisation services. Avalue's panel PCs can be expanded with many peripherals, including radio-frequency identification (RFID), a smart card reader, a magnetic strip reader (MSR) and WiFi. The company's design team has created a number of kits and brackets for mounting solutions.

There is a variety of desktop stands, VESA arms, wall-mounting brackets, ceiling-mounting kits, rack-mounting kits and embedded mounts. As a Windows Embedded partner, Avalue provides embedded OS consulting and training. Its panel PCs support embedded OS from Microsoft XP Embedded, CE or XP Professional. Avalue's OS-pre-installed smart terminal is intended to save customers money, time and technical effort in integrating hardware and software. In addition, the company provides full technical support and training for BIOS, GPIO, Driver and API, by project, and provides advanced ID modification.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin
