Portwell Launches PQ7-M103XL Qseven Module

Portwell Technology has launched the PQ7-M103XL, a Qseven open-standard module that offers a compact footprint and energy saving technology. The PQ7-M103XL Qseven module, with its companion PQ7-C100XL 3.5in ESB form-factor developer carrier board, is said to be ideal for low-power, wide-temperature and fanless devices such as medical, industrial control, gaming and COTS military. The module is based on the open-standard Qseven form factor featuring ultra-low power and compact size at 70 x 70mm.

Built with Intel's Atom Z510PT (1.1GHz) or Z520PT (1.33GHz) processor and Intel System Controller Hub (SCH) US15WPT, Portwell's PQ7-M103XL Qseven module is capable of operating in an industrial temperature range of -40C to 85C. The module supports two Sata ports and up to three PCI-E x1 lanes, dual independent display via LVDS and SVDO, onboard 512MB or 1GB DDR2 SDRAM, an onboard NAND Flash with 1GB flash and optional upgrade to 8GB, and industrial grade Gigabit Ethernet. Portwell's PQ7-M103XL Qseven module computing solution is said to safeguard development investments and lower total cost of ownership.

The company said it can also help minimise current and future design risks. It can help development time and costs during initial phase of development, while helping to achieve a faster time to market, a simplified future upgrade path, scalability and an increased application lifecycle. In addition, Portwell can also provide services to customers on the carrier board design and development, review schematics and BIOS customisation.

Designed as a Qseven developer carrier board for PQ7-M103XL, this 3.5in ESB form-factor embedded system board also supports an industrial temperature range of -40C to +85C. PQ7-C100XL features one VGA port and one LVDS for dual independent display, one Gigabit Ethernet port, two Sata ports, seven USB ports, onboard 12V DC-to-DC circuit for DC-in applications, and an expansion capacity that includes one SDIO socket, one PCI, one PCI-E x1 and one mini-PCI Express.

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.
