Advantech Releases AMD G-Series Based Embedded Computing Boards

Advantech, the leading embedded platform and integration services provider, announces a new series of embedded boards based on the AMD G-series processor that integrates a new low-power CPU core and an advanced graphic core, and features low power and high-performance multimedia capability. Advantech’s new industrial motherboards, AIMB-223 and MIO-5270 (our first, and the industry’s first MI/O extension single board computer), take advantage of the AMD G-series processor by using low power while providing high-quality digital media solutions. They serve a wide range of applications that include: factory automation, digital signage, gaming, and medical applications.

Designed with an AMD Mobile G-Series dual/single core processor, AIMB-223 features intelligent performance, power efficiency, and integrated AMD HD Graphics with DX11 support. AIMB-223 comes with plenty of connectivity and expansion options, including: one PCIe x1 and one PCI expansion slot, six serial ports, four SATA III 6 GB/s connectors, eight USB 2.0 ports, and dual display output with several display output combinations from  any two of VGA, HDMI, and LVDS. AIMB-223 also comes with software RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 supports, offering abundant data storage and reliable data protection, and dual PCIe based Gigabit Ethernet ports delivering up to 1,000 Mbps of bandwidth for network-intense applications. In addition, AIMB-223 also includes both ATX 12V and 12V DC-input tolower custoemers’ overall system costs. All these features are packed into a space-saving, power-efficient, and cost-effective Mini-ITX form factor.

MIO-5270 was designed withthe innovative MI/O Extension single board computer form factor (146*102mm). In addition to having all the features of the AMD G-series processor, MIO-5270 has one unified MIOe connector which supports additional extended interfaces including a display port, four PCIe x1 slots, LPC, SMBus, USB, and power. These give MIO-5270 more flexible support to bundled I/O modules, either from Advantech or modules designed by the customer. MIO-5270 supports iManager technology, an OS independent system of self management that enhances system reliability. MIO-5270 also makes system integration easier; all heat generating parts are on top, and less cabling is required, making the system small and compact.

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.
