NI Announces Launch of Measurement Studio 2010

National Instruments has announced Measurement Studio 2010, featuring support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 .NET, for data acquisition, signal processing, analysis, and visualisation applications. The new version fully integrates into Visual Studio 2010/2008/2005. Microsoft Visual Studio developers using Measurement Studio 2010 can create Windows Forms and Web Forms applications in a shorter amount of time with increased productivity tools such as code-generation assistants and managed .NET APIs.

Measurement Studio 2010 also provides support for test and measurement application development using Visual Basic .NET or Visual C#. It includes a Windows Forms .NET Intensity Graph, which uses colour to display 3D data on a 2D plot area. With this control, user interface developers can more easily display pattern data such as RF, power spectrum, weather or terrain patterns, and customise the appearance using colour-mapping tools.

Measurement Studio 2010 is said to deliver improved development productivity for user-interface development with the introduction of integrated code snippets for user-interface control classes. Developers using Visual C# and Visual Basic .NET can use supplied code snippets to speed development time and more easily customise Measurement Studio user interface controls.

Measurement Studio also supports the latest data acquisition and instrument control devices and technologies, including Ethernet-based NI CompactDAQ and X Series for USB, helping engineers shorten application development time with built-in hardware libraries and configuration assistants. Combined with Measurement Studio, NI data acquisition devices are designed for performance, offering advanced I/O capabilities, measurement accuracy and software flexibility on USB, PCI, PXI, Ethernet and wireless buses.

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.
