Linux Drivers and USB 3.0 Enhance Ueye Cameras

The range of IDS Ueye cameras, available from Stemmer Imaging, now has enhanced functionality thanks to the latest version of Linux drivers. In addition, all USB 2.0 camera models have been shown to be compatible with the USB 3.0 interface. The Linux driver version 3.70 offers the same level of functionality as the established Windows drivers and allows developers to create applications that will work under both operating systems without any additional design effort.

Compatibility of USB 2.0 models with USB 3.0 is useful for those wishing to upgrade their computer systems and make use of the enhanced data transfer speed offered by USB 3.0. Linux driver version 3.70 is free for all Ueye users and features new API functions for setting colour space and colour temperature and for de-bouncing the digital input (trigger). The software update supports the entire range of IDS cameras, including CMOS and CCD sensors. Extensive testing of IDS USB 2.0 camera models with several PC mainboards equipped with USB 3.0 connections has shown that 100 per cent of the performance and functionality of the cameras is maintained.

This compatibility also includes the cables and hubs that have been tested. The USB 3.0 serial digital bus offers data transfer rates up to 5Gbit/s. The Ueye camera range includes models with 1.3megapixel global shutter CMOS sensors, 1.2megapixel CCD sensors, high-resolution 10megapixel sensors and sensors for high dynamic range applications. Miniature cameras for machine vision and security applications are also available.

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.
