Advantech Introduces the New HPC-7280 2U Server-Grade IPC Chassis, Fulfilling Multiple Configuration Needs for Industrial Applications

Advantech, the leading embedded platform and integration services provider, has developed a new HPC-7280 2U rugged rackmount server chassis. It supports multiple configurations, has long-term availability support, and can fulfill a varietyof customer application needs. HPC-7280 is compatible with different form factors, has a redundant power supply design, hot-swap SATA/SAS hard drives, and cooling fans that deliver 24/7 non-stop operation. The system is designed specifically for high growth sectors in the market including: database, firewall/networking, processing intense (AOI), storage intense (IP CAM, NVR/DVR surveillance) and FA/MA managed) applications. These configurations are supported by Advantech’s CTOS (Configure-To-Order-Service) in regional sites located near customers.

HPC-7280, launched in May, is a 2U rackmount chassis fitting a variety ofform factors ranging from ATX, to CEB, to EATX. It features eight3.5” SAS/SATA hot-swap hard drive cages with a maximum capacity of 16 TB; even more storage is available with optionally installed internal 3.5” and 2.5” drives (two each). HPC-7280 has an 800 W (1+1)redundant power supply and a power distribution board that optimizes power efficiency; and it supports three hot-swap 8038 fan modules and an optional riser card. It not only has a neat and tidy appearance, but its mechanical design is rugged and practical for industrial needs. HPC-7280 can be secured by a front-bezel lock, preventing unauthorized access during normal operations. Also, there is one USB port and one slim ODD bay on the front, as well as LED indicators to monitor LAN, power and HDD status.

The expansion slots on HPC-7280 are also impressive with three full-height/full-length boards available through riser cards. Customers have the flexibility to select two PCI-X and one PCIe x8 riser slot cards, or six low profile PCIe expansion cards for higher speed connectivity, or traditional basic I/O cards, depending on application requirements.

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.
