DLP-IO14 14-Channel Data Acquisition Module

DLP Design, Inc. is pleased to announce the new DLP-IO14 Data Acquisition module.

The DLP-IO14 Data-Acquisition Module is a low-cost, easy-to-use data-acquisition system for analyzing AC voltages, controlling and monitoring processes and measuring DC voltages in the range of both 0-5 volts and ±5 volts. The available channels on the DLP-IO14 are broken down as follows: 12 digital I/O; all of which can also be set to Analog Input Mode (0-5V). Two additional analog channels that are dedicated to measuring voltages in the range of ±5V. Two channels are dedicated to 32-bit counter inputs. The DLP-IO14 also provides SPDT latching relay contacts. All features of the DLP-IO14 are controlled via simple single- and dual-byte commands, and all operational power is taken from the host PC via the USB port.

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

How LVDT Pressure Sensors Work?

Image
Pressure sensors - commonly referred to as pressure transducers, pressure transmitters, pressure indicators or pressure switches - are used to measure the pressure of gases and liquids (fluids). Pressure is an expression of the force and is normally stated in terms of force per unit area. A pressure sensor will generate an electrical signal relating to the pressure imposed. This signal is either analogue or digital in more modern designs, although optical, visual and auditory signals are also common. Industrial pressure transducers normally have a diaphragm type design that uses strain gauges, which are either bonded to, or diffused into it, with the strain gauges acting as resistive elements. Under the pressure-induced strain, the resistive values change. In capacitive technology, the pressure diaphragm is a single plate of a capacitor that

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
