HCC-Embedded Middleware Adds Complete Support for Green Hills Software's µ-velOSity Microkernel

Green Hills Software, the largest independent vendor of embedded software solutions, today announced that HCC-Embedded has introduced an abstraction layer that allows all of its embedded middleware to operate seamlessly with Green Hills Software's µ-velOSity™ microkernel. Developers using the µ-velOSity microkernel now have access to an unrivaled selection of networking and storage software from both companies.

HCC middleware products are supplied fully integrated with the µ-velOSity microkernel and include sample projects running on standard development boards. This approach to delivery significantly reduces the time required to establish stable platforms.

HCC-Embedded is exclusively focused on developing efficient and comprehensive middleware for communications and storage applications. This includes a broad range of USB, file system and TCP/IP solutions with support for many features that are not widely available from other sources. Examples include USB device and host, with support for all endpoint types, including isochronous, as well as a very broad range of class drivers. A number of these are mass storage, CDC, HID, Audio, Pictbridge and RNDIS. HCC's file systems are used with all common memory types, including NAND, NOR, and DataFlash. Sophisticated wear leveling and bad block management are standard features of HCC's file systems. HCC's failsafe file systems are now available for use with the µ-velOSity microkernel to help provide a high degree of system integrity.

Christopher Smith, vice president of marketing at Green Hills Software, commented: "The combination of Green Hills Software's µ-velOSity microkernel with HCC-Embedded's middleware will provide a comprehensive software resource. This will enable embedded systems designers to reduce their time-to-market while creating efficient, high performance systems."

David Brook, director of sales and marketing at HCC-Embedded, said: "We welcome this collaborative engineering effort with Green Hills Software. Customers are focused on developing their applications rapidly and they can now achieve that with access to a broader range of µ-velOSity-based solutions."

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.
