NI Arranges Two Data-Acquisition Seminars

National Instruments (NI) has arranged two free seminars to help engineers and scientists improve their knowledge and understanding of data acquisition. Both of the three-hour seminars will be held in each of the locations on the same day. The 'Hands-On Introduction to Data Acquisition with Labview' seminar takes place in the morning, starting at 09:00, and engineers wanting to evaluate different measurement bus options can attend the afternoon seminar, entitled 'Data Acquisition on Any Bus', beginning at 13:00.

The seminars are free of charge for engineers, scientists and technicians who build test, measurement, analysis, process monitoring and control or research applications. The two seminars will be held in: Bristol on 24 March 2010; Cardiff on 25 March 2010; Cambridge on 30 March 2010; Solihull, Birmingham, on 31 March 2010; Sheffield on 07 April 2010; Altrincham, near Manchester, on 08 April 2010; Newcastle upon Tyne on 13 April 2010; Edinburgh on 14 April 2010; Aberdeen on 15 April 2010; Belfast on 20 April 2010; Rochester on 27 April 2010; and Brighton on 28 April 2010.

Engineers attending the morning hands-on seminar, from 09:00 to 12.30, will to learn how to design and build measurement and control applications using Labview graphical programming and the latest advances in data-acquisition technology. The afternoon seminar, from 13:00 to 16.30, gives attendees the opportunity to discover a range of NI data-acquisition options, across a variety of buses, including USB, PCI and PCI Express, PXI and PXI Express, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Zigbee.

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.
