Hart Announces Workshops for 2011

Hart has announced details of two workshops arranged for 2011 - 'Hart Fundamentals and QA Testing' and 'Writing Enhanced Device Descriptions'. The 'Hart Fundamentals and QA Testing' workshop is designed for product developers and systems integrators. Day one and day two of this workshop are designed to provide an overview of the Hart market and technology, while day three and day four are designed specifically for product developers and system integrators.

Dates and locations for the 'Hart Fundamentals and QA Testing' workshop include: 7-10 March 2011, Austin, Texas; 16-19 May 2011, Dusseldorf, Germany; 19-22 September 2011, Austin, Texas; and 24-27 October 2011, Dusseldorf, Germany.The 'Writing Enhanced Device Descriptions' workshop is a comprehensive course covering the basic and advanced aspects of DD development.

It is to be held on the following dates and locations: 21-24 March 2011, Dusseldorf, Germany; 2-5 May 2011, Austin, Texas; 26-29 September 2011, Dusseldorf, Germany; and 17-20 October, Austin, Texas. Enhanced device descriptions improve user experience and usability of field devices with DD-enabled host applications. Attendees will receive the knowledge needed to improve their device's asset-management system integration by using a device description based on the EDDL, IEC61804-3, through use of the detailed HCF DDL specification HCF Spec-500.

The instructor will provide developers with a step-by-step process for building a device description that can be used across all DD-enabled host platforms. This one-on-one instructional environment will help developers understand EDDL and the true capabilities. All registrants learn to develop a device description using the latest HCF development tools - Device Description-Integrated Development Environment (DD-IDE). DD-IDE is included in the workshop fee.

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.
