DSM Presents Nanoserver System At Embedded World

DSM Computer presented the first embedded system from the Nanoserver E6 range, which provides two PCI slots or one PCI and one PCI Express slot, at Embedded World 2010. The E6 completes the new Nanoserver product line, which consists of the E4 with one slot and the flat E8 without any slots with the fully reworked housing concept. All Nanoserver models, even in small quantities, can be customised to the associated application.

The Nanoserver E6-A is based on the energy-saving Intel Atom N270 processor with a 1.6GHz clock and the Intel 945GSE/ICH7M chipset with an Intel GMA 950 VGA graphic controller. As for the E4 and E8 ranges, the E6-GM45 will also soon offer a variant for sophisticated computing and graphical applications. The optimised housing of the Nanoserver provides a screwed-on base flap that enables access to the internal Compact Flash socket, the memory expansions and the hard disk.

There are also eight USB 2.0 ports (six external, two internal), four serial ports (three RS232s, one RS232/422/485), an optional LPT (rather than COM4) and an audio interface. To supplement the 10/100 Base-TX and 1000 Base-T Ethernet, Wireless LAN is optionally supported. DVI, VGA and internal dual-channel LVDS are available as graphic interfaces. A serial ATA connection for two SATA II 300 devices and an IDE Port (2 EIDE) expand the range of interfaces.

The housing provides space for two 2.5in (6.4cm) solid-state drives (SSDs) or HDDs (EIDE or SATA II 300). In the industrial environment, the flexible E6-A embedded system can be connected directly to the power-supply system using a 12VDC power pack (24VDC is available as an option). As an alternative, an external 100-240VAC power pack can be used to supply power. The specified working temperature lies in the 0-50C range and, for fanless operation, 0-40C.

For the Nanoserver E6-A, developed and manufactured in house, DSM guarantees an availability of at least four years. A CE-conform design, burn-in and a two-year warranty period are standard for all Nanoserver models. The energy-efficient Nanoserver E6-A can be used for tasks such as plant control and in the metal processing industry, in transport and logistics and as a control computer for point-of-sale/point-of-information and digital-signage systems.

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.
