Processing Event Showcases Camera and Controller

At Interpack 2011, Leuze Electronic will introduce its LSIS 462i smart camera, which combines vision analysis and 2D code reading, as well as its MSI 200 modular safety controller. The LSIS 462i smart camera allows 99 2D Data Matrix codes or barcodes to be read on each image, at a speed of 54ms exposure. It has BLOB analysis for presence, completeness, position and orientation checks.

The camera has motor-driven focus and eight configurable I/O and RS232 - M12 connections. Inbuilt features include homogeneous illumination and a configuration web server. It is protected by robust IP65/67 metal die-cast housing and is available in a choice of glass or plastic lens versions. The LSIS 412 has only BLOB analysis for presence, completeness, position and orientation, while the LSIS 422 is targeted at barcode and 2D code reading. Leuze Electronic's MSI 100 and MSI 200 programmable safety controllers are programmed to be expandable for any application.

The MSI 100 has 20 safe inputs (SIL3, PLe): Light curtains, E-STOP buttons, two-hand controls, safety interlocks and so on. The MSI 200 is modular and expandable to 140 safety modules or 44 drive components: Light curtains, E-STOP buttons, two-hand controls, interlocks and so on. MSI-FB interface modules enable the MSI 100 or 200 to transfer diagnostic data to the PLC across a variety of field buses. The safety controllers, each sized at 67.5mm wide, have LED indicators on all inputs and outputs.

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.
