Lanner System Controller For Scada Applications

Lanner Electronics has announced the LEC-3000, a SFF communications appliance that is ideal for working with programmable logic controllers in industrial and automation environments. The Lanner LEC-3000 utilises the low-power VIA Eden processor with a VX800 chipset and features four COM ports with electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. The appliance also has an array of connectivity ports, a cable-less and fan-less SFF chassis, and an extended temperature specification.

The LEC-3000's four COM ports are each capable of sending signals via RS232, RS442 or RS485. This signal can be adjusted or changed via the auto flow control located on the motherboard, without modification in the BIOS. This makes the LEC-3000 ideal for working with programmable logic controllers in industrial environments or in conjunction with power management tools in utility systems. The LEC-3000 is designed for easy integration into automation settings.

It is a fan-less system encased in heat-dissipating aluminium. Internally, the LEC-3000 is cable-free, which translates to improved reliability and longevity according to Lanner. A DIN mount is attached to the exterior, allowing the system to be ready for use right out of the box. The appliance offers a wide temperature range from -20C to +55C. The LEC-3000 is built around the Via Eden processor and VX800 chipset for low power consumption coupled with high processing ability.

There is a CF socket for storage needs. Other features include: VGA, four USB, two GbE LAN, a RJ45 console port, a DIO port (four in/four out), a CF socket and a PCI/104 slot for proprietary expansion purposes. The LEC-3000 is capable of running Embedded Windows XP, Windows XP 32-bit, as well as Linux Kernel 2.4.16 and above. The LEC-3000 will be displayed in the Lanner's booth at Computex 2010 in Taipei.

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.
