Pentair Technical Products, Schroff Brand Offers High-Speed Backplane for AdvancedTCA Platform, Providing Data Transfers up to 40 Gigabits

Pentair Technical Products announces Schroff 40G backplanes for AdvancedTCA. These backplanes provide higher data transfer rates to support next-generation processing requirements and to meet growing customer demand for higher data throughput, without increasing costs.

With continuing advances in technology and the move to multi-core processors, the processing power of AdvancedTCA blades has increased dramatically. The higher processing power requires the redesign of the infrastructure supporting the processors. The Schroff 40G backplanes are made from improved FR4 material and support the most current high-speed data transfer rates. By combining cost-efficiency with superior signal integrity, these backplanes offer faster point-to-point connection between boards for enhanced internal and external communications.

“Schroff provides our customers with the most advanced high-speed technology at the lowest cost,” said Nate Haack, North American Category Manager. “By achieving high-speed capacity without using expensive laminate material, we can offer the same cost-effective standard series for 40G and non-40G applications.” Haack added, “With our expertise in high-speed backplane design, we use the same routing strategies with multiple high-speed backplanes, providing not only 40G backplanes for AdvancedTCA, but also high-speed backplanes that are compatible with MicroTCA, CPCI Serial and VPX platforms.”

The backplane’s fabric channels consist of four ports, each with a 10G transfer rate per signal pair, providing an ideal solution for telecom and datacom applications. Additional industries that could benefit from the high-speed performance include defense as well as video broadcasting and processing.

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.
