WAGO SPEEDWAY Sports New Firmware, Modules

New firmware and components lead a host of significant revisions to WAGO Corporation’s IP67 SPEEDWAY 767-I/O-SYSTEM. Further blending IP20 performance with IP67 strength, SPEEDWAY now processes 1000 instructions within 150 microseconds - ideal for freeing controls from cabinets. Heading up the surging SPEEDWAY line are new 8xM12 modules that endow IP67 systems with greater freedom for machine/system planning and expansion.

8xM12 I/O Modules:

Available DI, DO or DIO modules, SPEEDWAY’s 8xM12 Modules provide 1:1 connections for up to eight high-speed M12 sensors/actuators. Highly configurable, the DIO modules are set channel-by-channel (input or output) for filter, inversion, substitute value strategy, manual mode and counter.

The 8xM12 modules also support asynchronous/synchronous diagnostics and extensive detail of front-end errors (e.g., short-circuit, overloads, wire breakage, under/overvoltage conditions) and S-BUS errors. Appropriate indications (e.g., initializing, overload or failure maintaining cycle times) are also provided. The M12 ports aboard the 767-3805 (8DI), 767-4807 (8D, 0.5A) and 767-5803 (DIO, 0.5A) modules are shielded for protection against EMC electromagnetic interference.

Into the Ether:

Expedited data processing/transmission and comprehensive integration with higher-level controls are becoming increasingly important to IP67 system users. This drove WAGO to ensure SPEEDWAY fully supports the Ethernet/TCP Fieldbus. Additional protocols supported include: EtherNet/IP, Modbus/TCP, ProfiNet, Profibus, DeviceNet and CANopen. SPEEDWAY supports couplers, as well as controllers that are fully programmable via CoDeSys 3.0, configurable via FDT/DTM technology and support firmware update execution.

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.
