Impact67 - Now Even Faster with EtherCat

The Impact67 fieldbus module can now transfer data even faster with EtherCat! This is made possible with 50 µs and configurable input filters. Impact67 features pluggable connections, diagnostic options and IP67 tested seals. Now you can create cost-effective, decentralized solutions.

There is an ongoing trend: electrical engineers are relying more and more on fieldbus solutions. This is where Murrelektronik comes in: a continual pioneer in decentralization solutions. Some good examples are the modular and flexible Cube67 system or the robust MVK Metal distribution box. These are components that sell themselves with detailed diagnostic options and multifunctional ports. And they also reduce installation efforts and costs!

Murrelektronik provides the right solution for applications that need to meet basic machine installation requirements without any special demands. Impact67 is the module for any decentralization that focuses on cost-effectiveness. These fieldbus modules offer pluggable connections, diagnostic options such as single channel diagnostic with LEDs or group diagnostics through the bus, port-related switch offs and tested seals according to IP67.

This makes Impact67 the perfect choice for an electrical engineer whose objective is minimizing costs while maintaining digital inputs and outputs under ordinary conditions. Many different applications are possible with Impact67: in the plant engineering field (logistics, waste treatment, palletizing), in the packaging industry or in the non-cutting metal industry (sheet metal working, robotics, wood processing). Impact67 has been optimized for the EtherCat fieldbus protocol, which makes it ideal for extremely fast applications. Base times of 50 µs or configurable input filters of 250 µs, 500 µs, 1 ms, and 3 ms support the transfer of very fast signals.

Impact67 is available for the fieldbus protocols Profibus, ProfiNet, EtherCat, CanOpen, DeviceNet, and EtherNet/IP.

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.
