WAGO ETHERNET 2.0 Controller Named 2012 Engineers’ Choice & JUMPFLEX® Universal Signal Conditioner Receives Honorable Mention

WAGO Corporation’s 750-880 “ETHERNET 2.0” Programmable Fieldbus Controller has been selected by Control Engineering readers as a 2012 Engineers’ Choice (Machine and Embedded Control – PLCs). These experienced industrial professionals recognized the 750-880 for high-frequency processing, Ethernet flexibility and expanded memory via SD interface (up to 8GB of additional memory).

Guided by technological advancement, market impact and service to the industry, Control Engineering readers chose the best-of-breed among 100+ products within 30 categories. 750-880 was selected for processing up to 1000 instructions within 235 microseconds. It expedites large-scale programming while increasing capabilities by transferring device parameters, boot files or other file types between controllers. For data logging, 750-880 provides 1MB of both program and data memory, with up to 8GB of supplemental memory from the SD card. Accessible via FTP, the card is an also additional drive or data backup.

ETHERNET 2.0 — Two-Time Choice for Machine & Embedded Control:
750-880 continues ETHERNET 2.0’s industry-wide recognition. Its sibling, the 750-881 PFC was the 2011 Engineers’ Choice for Machine and Embedded Control – PLCs. Completing ETHERNET 2.0 is the 750-882 MR Controller with redundant networking via dual, independent Ethernet ports.

Honored:
WAGO’s 857-402 JUMPFLEX® Universal Signal Conditioner (USC) received an Honorable Mention from Control Engineering readers for Network Integration – Signal Conditioning Diagnostics. The 6mm-wide USC supports 456 signal combinations with industry-leading input range, class-exclusive Signal Clipping and overcurrent protection via unique auto-reset fusing.

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.
