Launch of New Low Power Consuming Embedded Automation Computers with Intel® Atom™ Processor and Up to Four PCI Interfaces

Advantech'sIndustrial Automation Group (IAG) have launched two new Embedded Automation Computers, UNO-3072A and UNO-3074A with Intel® Atom™ D510 processor. Both models feature 2GB DDR2 RAM with an integrated RAID 0/1 controller for two 2.5” SATA HDD'sand an external SATA port for additional storage. Rated to work in temperatures ranging from -10 ~ 60°C (14 to 140°F) and with shock/vibration absorbers for data storage security, they are ideal for many machine automation and warehouse tasks.

In addition, the UNO-3072A and UNO-3074A are designed with 2 x Gigabit Ethernet ports to fulfill EtherCAT and Real-Time OS requirements; 4 x external USB 2.0 ports and 1 x internal USB port, VGA display, I/O programmable LED indicators, isolated DI/DO, and 2 /4 x PCI slots respectively for versatile peripherals. They also include 2 x RS-232/422/485 serial ports with support for any baud rate, which enables their use in applications which require specific baud rates. Their IEEE 1394b connector and Gigabit LAN with a motion card allow the UNO-3072A and UNO-3074A to act as machine vision computing platforms as well.

An additional three I/O expansion kits are available separately: 2 x RS-232 with 1 x PS/2; 1 x LPT, and 2 x USB ports. The UNO-3072A and UNO-3074A also support a variety of operating systems such as: Microsoft® Windows® XP Embedded, WinCE 6.0, Windows® 7, Windows® Vista/XP and Embedded Linux. All of this can be remotely managed using the Advantech DiagAnywhere Agent.

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.
