Touch-Panel PC for Use in Rugged Environments

Aaeon has introduced a 15in rugged touch-panel computer with an Intel Core I7/I5 processor and a QM57 chipset. The AGP-3155 is designed with the intention to withstand a large amount of internal as well as external forces. The computer is equipped with the Intel Core I7/I5 processor and features an integrated LCD/CRT controller in the Intel QM57 chipset. To provide plenty of memory, there are two DDR3 800/1066MHz SODIMM ports (up to 8GByte).

For more expansion, there is a Mini Card and two PCI or two PCIe slots. These PCI/PCIe slots are designed to make the panel PC easy to expand. This unit also offers Gigabit Ethernet and I/O ports, such as two RS-232 ports, one RS-232/422/485 port, six USB 2.0 ports, one line-out/MIC-in/line-in port and one DVI port for flexible expansions. The SSD has two 3.5in SATA hard disk drives, with an optional slim DVD combo.

The IP-65 aluminium die-cast front bezel keeps the AGP-3155 design waterproof and makes the AGP-3155 suitable for use in harsh environments. The AGP-3155 can process a large amount of data, while protecting this power/data from external forces. It is especially suitable for use in rugged environments such as control rooms in automated factories, railway control centres and factory automation.

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...

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...

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.
