Optrex TFT LCDs Have White LED Backlights

Optrex America has developed a line of TFT LCDs with white LED backlights to meet increasing demand for LED backlighting in the industrial LCD market. These displays feature longer lifetimes (an average of 60,000 hours), with front-of-screen brightness levels ranging from 400cd/m2 to 700cd/m2 for indoor use and 800cd/m2 to 1,500cd/m2 for outdoor applications. Additional features include wide viewing angles up to 160, high-contrast ratios up to 1,000:1, and wide operating and storage temperature ranges.

Available display sizes include 2.0in, 3.0in, 3.5in, 4.3in, 5.0in, 6.5in, 8.4in, 10.4in, 12.1in and 15.0in diagonal, with a variety of resolutions to choose from. Optrex LED-backlit LCDs are said to offer advantages over conventional CCFL-backlit LCDs, including no warm-up time at low temperatures, lower power consumption, higher dimming ratios, and, because they do not require high-voltage and high-frequency inverter circuits, reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Since LED backlights contain no mercury, these displays offer a more environmentally friendly option as well. These displays also offer Optrex's Natural Color Matrix (NCM) technology, a colour transformation algorithm implemented in the hardware that provides real-time on-the-fly processing to precisely match the colours specified in a data source for vivid colour reproduction. Additional features include industrial standard CMOS and LVDS interfaces for easy system development.

To ease the customer's transition from CCFL-backlit displays, many of the LED-backlit displays have the same mounting locations and sizes, saving on redesign and development costs. Each of the panels is compatible with Optrex's conventional CCFL-backlit TFT LCDs of the same size and resolution. The LED backlight rails are also field-replaceable. Optrex's LED backlit LCDs are designed for a board range of applications, including test and measurement, factory automation, navigation and avionics systems, point-of-sale and ATM machines, and medical equipment.

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.
