COM-Ultra Module Targets Ruggedised Applications

Advantech has announced the release of the SOM-7562 B1 COM-Ultra Module, based on the Intel N455 processor, which is especially suited to portable device applications since. The new B1 version module with N455 processor from Intel incorporates upgraded memory technology from DDR2 to DDR3, wider temperature (-40-85C) provision and an optional 5V-only version with more competitive power consumption. The N455 platform is integrated in a compact board (84 x 55mm) as small as a credit card.

Power consumption is fully utilised to give good performance with great power saving. An all-in-one solution with system memory and flash disk onboard, SOM-7562 performs stably under high-vibration environments and the whole design is super compact for space-limited applications. SOM-7562 B1 further upgrades memory capacity from 512MB to 1GB, making systems run more even smoothly. The Intel N455 processor has been upgraded to support DDR3 with better performance than DDR2 and incorporates better energy-saving technology.

With its solid design, SOM-7562 B1 proves its ability under extended temperature environments of between -40 and 85C, and under high-vibration conditions of 3.5Grms with a frequency of 5-500Hz, which makes it suited for a variety of demanding applications. For those customers especially looking for low power consumption, other than optimisation of BIOS features, SOM-7562 B1 could be optionally engineered to run on as low as 5V. The 5V-only version reduces as much as 1W power consumption with standard 12V power supply, providing customers with another way to improve power efficiency.

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.
