IQRF Wireless Network Systems

IQRF Wireless Network Systems now Available from LPRS.IQMesh Case picture. Complete, simple to implement, reliable wireless networks for smart metering, home and building automation, intelligent street lighting and environmental monitoring
LPRS, Europe’s leading supplier of short-range radio devices, has been appointed as the UK technical distributor for the IQRF complete IQMESH wireless network platform, components and systems manufactured by MICRORISC.

Based in the Czech Republic MICRORISC have spent some 100 man-years developing the extensive IQRF product range intended for applications such as smart metering, home and building automation, intelligent street lighting and environmental monitoring. The IQRF project has been co-funded by a grant from the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Czech Republic.

IQRF wireless network components are fully integrated modules with pre-programmed micro-controllers intended to speed up time-to-market of reliable wireless Mesh networks. The extensive IQRF product range offers transceiver modules with embedded Operating System through to IP accessible control panels and Ethernet gateways.
John Sharples, Managing Director of LPRS comments;” LPRS are the perfect partner for MICRORISC to launch the IQRF product range in the UK as we already have extensive experience of the UK industrial wireless market and a great reputation as a wireless solutions provider with our own easyRadio short range wireless module products. We also have a shared philosophy of extensive customer support from design to delivery.”

Vladimír Sulc, CEO of IQRF, is a founder and CEO of MICRORISC, a Fellow of the International Academy, Research and Industry Association (IARIA) and since 1991 has been involved in many projects related to wireless communication and security. He specializes in LR-WPAN, mesh networking algorithms and encoding and is the author or co-author of over 20 patents in CZ, EU and USA. He has been participating in IARIA conferences since 2009. His paper 'IQRF Smart House - A Case Study' presented at MESH 2010 was given the Best Paper Award.

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.
