LSR Announces TiWi5 and TiWi-BLE

LS Research (LSR) today announced the TiWi5™ and TiWi-BLE™, 802.11/Bluetooth/BLE, FCC/IC-certified and ETSI-tested modules aimed at enabling robust wireless connectivity for embedded systems. The TiWi5 is based on the WL1273 solution from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) and supports 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth® 2.1+EDR, Bluetooth low energy 4.0, and ANT+™. The TiWi-BLE is based on TI’s WL1271 solution and supports 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Bluetooth low energy 4.0, and ANT+. For maximum design reuse, the TiWi-BLE is pin for pin compatible with LSR’s TiWi5 module, and both the TiWi-BLE and TiWi5 are pin for pin compatible with LSR’s 2.4 GHz TiWi-R2™ module. The certified modules provide customer multiple antenna options and offer a -40 to +85 O C industrial temperature range. Additionally, quickly enable manufactures wanting to add the TiWi5 or TiWi-BLE to their product lines, LSR is providing antenna design support, driver integration with various processor platforms, and system level design to customers.

LSR’s new TiWi5 and TiWi-BLE modules provide customers the ability to quickly and cost effectively implement dual-band, multi-standard wireless connectivity on a significant range of microprocessor (MPU)-based platforms. The TiWi5 is aimed at industrial automation, mobile data terminals, wireless video, and other applications, while the TiWi-BLE supports consumer wellness, sports and fitness, security and proximity, smart energy, home automation and entertainment and more. The modules’ technology are designed and built to provide best-in-class WLAN and Bluetooth/Bluetooth low energy co-existence for seamless transition.

“TI’s strategy is to reduce engineering barriers and accelerate time-to-market for customers adopting our wireless products. A major part of that is simplifying the RF design integration and certification challenges inherent to working with radio technologies,” said Matt Kurtz, channel marketing manager, wireless connectivity solutions, TI. “We’re excited to work with LS Research as they leverage our WL1273 and WL1271 on the first broadly-available dual-band 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth/Bluetooth low energy module solutions on the market.”

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.
