Tool Allows Vision Monitoring From Factory Floor

Visionview VGA is a DIN rail-mount adapter that provides direct VGA output for Visionview application software, allowing operators to connect to any size VGA monitor without the need for a PC. In addition to supporting Visionview VGA, a new software release, Visionview 1.3, supports the Trainfont interactive control for run-time font training of OCR/OCV applications and allows Visionview to work with Cognex Dataman 200 industrial ID readers in addition to In-Sight vision systems.

Bhaskar Banerjee, business unit manager for Vision Systems, said: 'New hardware and software options, plus the ability to view results from up to nine vision systems simultaneously, make Visionview the most powerful tool for monitoring and controlling vision applications directly from the factory floor. The Visionview VGA hardware option enables operators to view their applications using any size monitor, with no PC required.

Users simply connect the Visionview VGA to an Ethernet network using an RJ-45 LAN cable and to the monitor using a VGA cable. Visionview VGA supports VGA resolution of 640 x 480, SVGA resolution of 800 x 600, XGA resolution of 1,024 x 768, and as Mitsubishi GT15 and GT16 touch screens. Users can view images from a single or multiple vision systems on the connected VGA monitor.

Other available platforms include Visionview PC software, which enables operators to use their own PC and monitor to control their vision applications, and the Cognex Visionview 700 Operator Interface Panel, a display panel that enables touch-screen controls without a PC. Visionview 1.3 software makes it possible to train fonts using the Visionview interface. Touch-screen friendly controls give users the ability to easily add new characters or make changes to an existing font structure, without having to connect to a PC.

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.
