EAO Provides Help with Designing HMI Systems

EAO, the expert for Human Machine Interfaces, supplies the world’s most comprehensive range of safety-compliant emergency switches and accessories.

From factory floor environments to the rigours of public use equipment, EAO’s human machine interface (HMI) systems are used by some of the world’s leading companies including Siemens and Audi.
Virtually any type of HMI system or input device can be produced, from simple membrane keypads and primary on-off controls, to handheld remote controls and high-complexity interfaces that feature discreet switches, touch screens, electronics, serial bus connectivity, rugged enclosures and mounting arms.

Each one is developed in very close partnership with the customer. EAO’s technical advisers act like an extension of the customer’s design department. They solve complex HMI problems and help customers realise their visions. The custom-build process is highly valued by our clients and ensures the HMIS system meets the exact requirements of the end equipment. 

All electromechanical HMI components and assemblies are produced by EAO in a strictly-controlled Swiss manufacturing environment. With long established supply chains and partnerships, EAO guarantees that all aspects of the overall system will satisfy European and international standards.

In business for more than 60 years, EAO has become a market-leading supplier to machinery and automation, public transportation, specialist vehicles and automotive industries. It manufactures and supplies in accordance to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and VDE automotive standards.

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.
