P4ELA Platform Aids Industrial-System Development

Commell has brought out the Industrial Micro ATX motherboard P4ELA. The P4ELA incorporates an Intel LGA775 pin-out compatible with: Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q9400; Intel Core 2 Duo processors E8400, E7400, E6400 and E4300; Intel Dual-Core processors E5300 and E2160; and Intel Celeron processor 440 at 1333/1066/800MHz system bus. The P4ELA platform is based on the Q45 Express chipset.

It is ideal for developing high-performance systems for industrial workstation, industrial control and automation, retail and hospitality, gaming, print imaging, digital signage, digital surveillance and network-security applications. The P4ELA mainboard has a built-in Intel Graphics Accelerator 4500 to deliver an excellent blend of graphics performance and features and support for Microsoft DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.0, enabling support for the highest levels of Windows Vista experience.

The graphic memory controller hub incorporates an updated backbone architecture that optimises available bandwidth with the 1333MHz system bus. The mainboard also supports Intel Matrix Storage Technology (MST), provides quicker access to applications and data files with RAID 0 and 10, and greater data-protection against a hard-disk drive failure with RAID 1, 5 and 10. Commell's P4ELA supports DDR3 DIMM up to 8GB and comes with PS/2 keyboard and mouse, five RS232Cs and one RS232/422/485.

Networking is provided by two Intel 82574L Giga LANs, eight USB2.0 ports, HD audio and six SATA2 interfaces. It also includes the following expansion slots: one ISA, two PCIs and one Mini PCI, one PCI-E 4X and one PCI-E 16X.

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.
