Discover Ultimate Cost Savings and Working Efficiency with PPC-179T Panel PC

Advantech, the embedded platform and integration services provider, is happy to announce the launch of PPC-179T, a new, multifunctional Panel PC system powered by an Intel Core™2 Duo LGA775 socket-based processor. PPC-179T optimizes cost efficiency by offering a choice in CPU selection. Users can choose a CPU that fits their specific application and budget requirements. Dual expansion slots and a rich array of I/O ports allow great expandability extending the capability of PPC-179T. These features, combined with Advantech's global service and robust design, make PPC-179T one of the best HMI (human machine interface) systems available, as well as allowing it to fill a central role in many computing scenarios in a variety of harsh environments.

Extensive Range of Processors Cater to Specific Computing Needs
The level and computing power of a processor in a panel PC usually contributes significantly to its overall cost. Sometimes, the latest and most expensive processors are overkill for a basic application’s requirements, and disproportionately increase the total cost of a system. Advantech realizes this problem and has designed a solution into the new PPC-179T by offering customers numerous processor options, ranging from the Intel® Celeron® E1500 2.2 GHz processor to the Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo E8400 3.00 GHz processor. With these choices, customers can easily create systems for HMI, machine control, or complex computing applications that fit specific needs and fall within budget.

Great Expandability with Dual Expansion Slots
Expandability is always a key requirement of system integrators when choosing systems. PPC-179T is designed with dual expansion slots; it offers a choice of a combination of one PCI card plus one PCIe card, or two PCI cards. These expansion cards enable PPC-179T to connect to different devices, extending the system’s capabilities. In addition, PPC-179T also supports one Mini PCIe slot, six USB 2.0 ports and four COM ports. With its rich array of I/O ports, PPC-179T makes an excellent HMI system as well as meeting computing needs for a variety of 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.
