ADLINK Technology Announces New Compact COM Express® Module with Dual Core Intel® Atom™ Processor and DDR3 Memory Support

ADLINK Technology, Inc., (TAIEX: 6166) announces the Express-LPC, the newest member of its Computer-on-Module (COM) family. The Express-LPC in Compact form factor measures just 95 x 95 millimeters, and is fully compatible with the Type 2 pin-out of the PICMG® COM Express specification. COM Express modules are highly integrated off-the-shelf building blocks that are ready to plug into custom-made, application-specific carrier boards for embedded and mobile applications.

ADLINK's Express-LPC is positioned as an entry level, cost effective module with an excellent performance-per-watt ratio (MIPS, FLOPS)*. It typically targets calculation intensive applications such a Robotics, Test and Measurement, entry level Medical Diagnostics and Industrial Automation. The Express-LPC is the perfect replacement for existing Pentium® M based designs, offering better performance at a lower price and much lower power envelope.

ADLINK's Express-LPC is based on the latest Intel® Atom™ processors ranging from the dual core D525 at 1.8GHz to the low voltage single core N455 at 1.66 GHz. The module supports up to 4GB of DDR3 memory on two SODIMM sockets. In addition to an increase in memory bandwidth compared with DDR2, the Express-LPC's DDR3 memory support also brings a significant cost advantage and the certainty of reliable supplies well into the future.

ADLINK's Express-LPC is equipped with integrated graphics support for analog VGA and LVDS. The module supports five PCI Express x1 lanes via the Intel® I/O Controller Hub 8 Mobile chipset (ICH8M), one Gigabit Ethernet connection and three SATA channels. Legacy support is provided by a single Parallel ATA channel, 32-bit PCI bus and Low Pin Count bus (LPC).

ADLINK's Express-LPC is available with an onboard IDE-based Solid State Drive (SSD) up to 8GB, and comes standard with an integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM 1.2) to provide secure storage of encryption keys for system and data protection. The module is equipped with AMIBIOS8, supporting embedded features such as Remote Console, CMOS backup, CPU and System Monitoring, Watchdog Timer, and OEM Splash Screen. Optimized for portable and mobile applications, the Express-LPC's BIOS supports ACPI-based Smart Battery functionality for single or dual battery sub systems.

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.
