Harting Introduces Flexible Ha-VIS RFID System

The Ha-VIS RFID integrated radio-frequency-identification (RFID) system from Harting offers a high degree of flexibility to simplify the implementation of scalable solutions in various applications. The new system combines rugged, high-performance RFID readers with powerful data pre-processing to ensure high-speed data transmission and optimum dynamic network performance. Overall control is provided by the Ha-VIS RFID Suite: a software solution that allows the scaling of RFID solutions from individual readers through to enterprise-wide solutions across different locations.

As an aid to integration of the RFID transponding functions, all the readers provide ultra-high-frequency (UHF) and high-frequency (HF) technology as standard features. Their rugged design and construction allow them to be used in a range of industrial environments, including mounting on metal surfaces. The Ha-VIS RFID Suite administers the interfaces to the RFID reading devices and printers, as well as to barcode readers, sensors and controllers. The suite is based on the .NETplatform and offers service-oriented architecture in which an optional number of company applications can draw on the processed data. Ha-VIS RFID is designed to reduce the data flow in an organisation's Ethernet network and enables real-time response to RFID event data. In addition, advanced administration and security modules help to minimise downtime and reduce the overall operating cost of the RFID solution.

The processed RFID data can be integrated into all company solutions because the 'plug-and-play' architecture of the Ha-VIS RFID Suite has been designed to support all the relevant current hardware, standards and protocols. The easy integration of new hardware or new standards into the architecture of the Ha-VIS RFID Suite ensures that companies are able to exploit the benefits of their RFID investments and creates long-term investment security, according to Harting. Developers and system integrators will benefit from the toolset provided, as well as from central network administration and user-friendly interfaces that translate into the convenient and rapid development and maintenance of high-performance RFID solutions.

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

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
