Rabbit Semiconductor Announces the Release of the Rabbit 3000 Microprocessor Reference Design Book for Embedded Systems Design

Rabbit Semiconductor, a division of Z-World Inc., along with Elsevier Science (NYSE: RUK) and Technology Books today announced the publication and release of Embedded Systems Design using the Rabbit 3000 Microprocessor: Interfacing, Networking, and Application Development, the first Rabbit 3000 reference book to focus exclusively on Rabbit's microprocessor use for embedding networks and controls in electronic systems.

The Rabbit 3000 is a popular high-performance microprocessor specifically designed for embedded control, communications, and Ethernet connectivity. Both authors, Kamal Hyder and Bob Perrin, have years of experience in embedded designs. They wrote their new book specifically to help embedded developers get the most out of the Rabbit's powerful feature set. The book provides detailed coverage of the Rabbit architecture and development environment, networking, interfacing, Rabbit assembly language, multitasking, Dynamic C T , and many other related topics.

"It's great to have such experienced hands work on this reference book", stated Norm Rogers, President of Z-World Inc., " they bring their level of experience down to everyone's application needs." Most valuable to designers are the many "insider" tips and techniques presented in the book.

Extensive embedded design examples are supported by fully tested source code, which is provided on the accompanying CD-ROM. Included in the book are several coupons and discount offers for development kits and products via www.rabbitsemiconductor.com/books.

"This book is essential for anyone working with the Rabbit series of processors, boards, or core modules. The book covers firmware from soup to nuts, from assembly language to C, including real time OSes and even modern networking." --Jack Ganssle

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.
