Mitsubishi Electric technology helps train future engineers
A process industries training rig, built at Humberside Engineering Training Association uses Mitsubishi Electric PLCs, HMIs and control software to provide a range of different educational scenarios for students and apprentices. The idea behind the rig is that it provides courses in a live plant environment, so is very much more practical than computer-based simulations. It will be used by about 80 full time apprentices and 100 adults on training...
New Active Light Sensor Interface IC from Melexis Makes Gesture Recognition Easier to Apply
The MLX75030 from Melexis is a universal active light sensor interface which has been designed to allow easy implementation of robust multi-channel, close range optical sensing systems into difficult operational environments. It incorporates four independent simultaneously operating light measurement channels;two taking care of reflection and the other two for ambient light measurement. This makes the device highly optimized for inclusion in huma...
