Embedded Computing System for Railway Applications, the tBOX320-852-FL Features Anti-Vibration Design, Isolated COM, M12 LAN & Lockable I/O, and More

Axiomtek rolls out a whole new transportation solution geared towards railway applications.  With a fanless embedded computing system that incorporates high performance Intel® Core™2 Duo SP9300 processor with 2.26 GHz and an Intel® GM45 chipset, the tBOX320-852-FL is built for rugged working environments and is EN50121/EN50155 certified for railway applications.  This innovative unit works extremely well as mobile control unit, passenger information system, video surveillance and many more railway applications, ensuring public safety and system stability.

Designed for extended temperature range from -25 to +55°C and housed in a rugged profiled-aluminum case, this railway-centric embedded box computer has built-in Intel® Core™2 Duo SP9300 processor and supports up to 2GB of DDR3 800/1066 memory.  This tBOX320-852-FL has a swappable 2.5" SATA 300 hard drive bay, one (1) internal SATA drive bay as well as a slot for Compact Flash media which are easily accessible from the front.  This unit offers isolated features for four (4) COM ports, digital I/O, power supply, and robust M12 interface connector for 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

The integrated graphics chipset offers 256MB of memory, DirectX 9 3D as well as HDTV support.  The integrated MPEG2 and H.264 decoders reduce processor load while displaying HD video.  Having received certification and compliance for railway, Axiomtek’s latest rugged embedded box computer helps OEMs accelerate their time to market and reduce hardware design costs for their railway applications.

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.
