Open source hardware enhances PLC, panel PC benefits
The Industrial Shields range of PLCs and panel PCs launched by RS Components combine the advantages of open-source hardware (OSH) with the reliability of industrial-standard products. In the past few years the flexibility of open-source development boards has eased the design process for electronic engineers, enabling faster prototyping for cutting-edge applications, especially in the Internet of Things (IoT) space.
igus introduces guidelok slimline P
igus has developed its guidelok slimline system further with the introduction of the GLSL-P, guidelok slimline P. Made entirely of plastic, this vertical energy chain system is characterised by its low weight and ease of installation, allowing machine builders and system integrators to achieve faster speeds and higher accelerations than ever before.
Arduino Yun Mini tempts embedded engineers and students
The new Arduino Yun Mini extends the Arduino portfolio of open-source electronics development and prototyping boards of RS Components (RS). Aimed at embedded engineers, hackers and students, the Arduino Yun Mini is a redesign of the Arduino Yun WiFi microcontroller board and has been re-engineered to be used with a breadboard, making prototyping easier, and also provides its functionality in a light and highly compact package.
25 things you may not know about drives
Drives have been a key technology for industrial engineers for many years but Matt Handley of Mitsubishi Electric thinks they can be underappreciated. Here he highlights some of the interesting facts about them.
AUTOSAR users can connect to MOST networking technology
Microchip Technology announced that designers using the Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) to develop and reuse their in-vehicle software can now connect their systems to not only networking technologies such as CAN and LIN, but also to the MOST Cooperation’s automotive-proven MOST networking technology.
IPv6 over Bluetooth Smart lays IoT foundations
Vendors are introducing Bluetooth Smart sensors that promise to accelerate the roll out of the Internet of Things. These new devices leverage existing Internet standards for end-to-end compatibility. By John Leonard, Tactical Marketing Manager, Nordic Semiconductor.
Analogue processing makes cancelling self-interference achievable
The notion of a transceiver that can transmit and receive at the same time and in the same frequency band has long been considered a pipe dream. Severe levels of self-interference during transmission make the signal-to-noise ratio too low for reliable full duplex communications. However, a Cambridge Wireless event taking place on 8th July in the University of Bristol’s School of Chemistry will showcase recent advances in analogue and digita...
Workflow for 3D full-wave chip package board modelling
Computer Simulation Technology has demonstrated an innovative workflow that combines the full wave simulation and extraction capabilities of CST STUDIO SUITE with the accuracy of Synopsys HSPICE at booth #2827 during DAC 2015. Engineers concerned with the design of modern electronic systems can take advantage of this newworkflow.
Winners of Best Paper & Young Engineer announced at PCIM
The Best Paper and three Young Engineer Award winners were honoured during the opening ceremony of the PCIM Europe Conference 2015. From more than 300 high quality papers, the four contributions of the award winners convinced the conference directors.
N-channel MOSFETs feature gate capacitance down to 2164Pf
Single n-channel MOSFETs targeted at data networking, telecomms and industrial applications have been introduced by ON Semiconductor. These devices are capable of delivering incredibly low on state resistance, RDS(ON), values, thereby minimising conduction losses and improving overall operational efficiency levels. They also have very low gate capacitance (Ciss) down to 2164Pf, which ensures driver losses are kept as low as possible.
