Embedded System For Vision Control Applications

Lanner has launched the LEC-2026, an embedded system that supports six Intel GbE LAN ports, each with its own network controller, to ensure high throughput for network communication applications. The LEC-2026 has a specialised focus on network capabilities. It is driven by the N270 Intel Atom and the Intel 945GSE + ICH7M chipset. Extended temperature specification and fan-less design allows the LEC-2026 to withstand harsh environments. The LEC-2026 is designed for Vision Control applications.

Vision Control is a real-time video monitoring system for quality control. The system is designed for IA and other manufacturing environments ensure the proper placement of components. For example, in motherboard manufacturing a Vision Control system would be included in the various chip shooters to ensure each component was placed correctly. The Vision Control's digital GigE cameras are mounted inside the machine and are connected to external IPC. Software on the IPC will then use the cameras to constantly assess each placed chip.

This analysis happens in real time, so the IPC does not retain any of the video footage - and therefore is not reliant on storage space. The LEC-2026 is designed for use with Vision Control, by having separate high-bandwidth GigE ports, each with their own separate controller. This ensures that the data stream will have a continuously high bandwidth to serve for Vision Control applications. With six Intel GbE LAN ports, the LEC-2026 can run up to six cameras for Vision Control applications. The LEC-2026 is fan-less and features an extended temperature range between -10C and +55C.

One reason the unit can support a fan-less design is the low power threshold involved in the N270 Intel Atom, which offers 1.6GHz of processing ability. The heat-dispersing fins along the chassis ensure the unit will remain cool in even the harshest industrial settings. Other connections include the two USB 2.0 ports, one RJ45 COM port and a VGA port for attaching monitors. With 2.5in Sata HDD support and a CF socket this aluminium-cased SFF computer can utilise various operating systems (including XPE and Linux Kernel 2.4.16) and serve many different applications.

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.
