ARM announces support for STMicroelectronics STM32 F0 series in the MDK-ARM Development Kit

ARM® today announced full support within the ARM Keil™ MDK-ARM™ development kit for STMicroelectronics' new STM32 F0 series of devices.

The STM32 F0 series has been announced at Embedded World in Nuremberg, Germany, and is the first STM32 series based on the ARM Cortex™-M0 processor. The product's low-power design and low cost make it suitable for application fields that were traditionally occupied by 8- or 16-bit MCUs such as medical diagnostics equipment, white goods or intelligent sensor applications.

The long-standing cooperation between STMicroelectronics and ARM enables engineers to immediately use the MDK-ARM development kit in projects based on the STM32 F0 series. The MDK-ARM development kit combines the state of the art ARM C/C++ Compiler, the µVision4™ IDE and debugger as well as advanced trace functionality and the RTX RTOS in one easy to use package. The MDK-Professional Middleware libraries provide excellent support for the sophisticated peripherals of the STM32 F1, F2, and F4 series, enabling developers to concentrate on the unique features of their embedded applications.

The STM32 F0 device support is included in the current version 4.23 of the MDK-ARM development kit.

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.
