New COM-Express Ultra Module Targets Ultra Low Power Applications

Advantech, a global embedded computing leader providing solutions across multiple vertical markets through deployment of intelligent applications and services, proudly announces the release of SOM-7564 – COM-Express Ultra Module powered by the Intel® Atom™ processor E6xx series. This is Advantech’s first COM module adopting the open PCI-Express standard that allows connection to third party chips giving developers even greater flexibility and functionality.

COM R2.0 type 10 compliant for ultra low power consumption

SOM-7564 is Advantech’s first COM Express Ultra module compliant with the COM R2.0 type 10 specification for customers targeting ultra lower power consumption applications. The compact design (84 x 55 mm) is about the size of a business card making it suitable for portable applications in Point of Sale, transportation, medical and factory devices.

Compatibility with a variety of IOH to provide flexibility

SOM-7564 is designed with only the CPU on module, which allows customers to pick a I/O hub specifically to fulfill their requirements. For customers looking for the Intel EG20T, Advantech specially designed the SOM-AB5500 application board with this IOH connected to the CPU on SOM-7564 through a PCIe x1 interface. SOM-AB5500 is a 3.5” carrier board with a smart battery manager which delivers ultra low power consumption and diverse I/O options.

Reinforced with the new Advantech iManager 2.0

Advantech iManager provides a valuable suite of programmable APIs such as multi-level watchdog, hardware monitor, smart fan and more; all with user-friendly interfaces. Since this is a built-in solution on chip, iManager ensures functions operate even if the OS fails, helping enhance system stability and compatibility, and reducing effort on carrier board design and platform migration. SOM-7564 will be available in October. Please contact your local sales or visit the website for more details.

Features:
  • PICMG COM R2.0 compliantmodule for Intel® Atom™ processors E6xx series
  • Supports 24-bit LVDS and rich I/O: 3 PCIe x1, GbE, (more I/Os with SOM-AB5500: 2 SATA II, 5 USB 2.0 and 4 serial ports (COM1 supports RS-232/422/485 while the rest support RS-232 only)
  • Enhanced with Advantech iManager 2.0

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.
