Lenze Adds New Modules To Lenze I/O System 1000

Lenze has added a real-time Ethercat bus coupler to the Lenze I/O system 1000. It has also introduced modules that offer new design opportunities such as temperature sensors, counters and encoder evaluation. The I/O system 1000 provides advantages on three levels. With compact modules that are only 12.5m
m wide that can be combined into stations of up to 64, together with a high bandwidth of 48MBits/s, the machine designer can save panel space and achieve even more difficult signal tasks.

There are big gains on installation: modules clip into DIN rails and even the wiring can be done without using tools. Easy-to-fix earth shielding is integrated into the design. Clear labels are visible to the front and the side of the modules and each of up to eight channels has a bright LED indicator. After installation, the handling remains easy: the electronics part of an I/O module can be unclipped and replaced without distributing the wiring. The Ethercat module takes advantage of the high system bandwidth to give a real-time control option.

This links to a full range of both analogue and digital inputs and outputs. Also new are modules to connect thermal sensors, for counting and to evaluate SSI encoder outputs. On large stations where extra current is needed to power sensors, there are additional supply modules that can be used to create different potential groups. With the I/O system 1000 and the new extended options, Lenze has a top-performing system that gives great flexibility combined with cost savings at installation and commissioning.

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.
