Development board targets HMI, motor control designs
TheGIZMO Explorer Board , a companion board for theGIZMO2platform from GIZMOSPHERE is available at Farnell element14. The board offers features and peripherals that are ideal for use in motor control, human machine interface and control system application designs so users can get their projects started quickly.
Clever thinking helps Tata Steel solve tricky temperature device upgrade
ABB’s latest generation of head mounted smart temperature transmitters have helped to provide a clever solution to a tricky upgrade project at Tata Steel in Port Talbot. ABB’s solution involved thirty TTH300 temperature transmitters being used to replace Hartmann and Braun field mounted units installed in 1981 without the need for extensive retrofitting work.
Optimise motor control in industrial system designs
Allowing developers to differentiate and optimise motor control in industrial system designs, the Sitara AM437x Industrial Development Kit (IDK) has been introduced by Texas Instruments. The IDK aids in the evaluation of the multi-protocol, industrial communication and feedback interface capabilities of the highly integrated Sitara AM4379 and AM4377 processors based on the ARM Cortex-A9 core.
PCIe card supports all leading industrial Ethernet standards
Until now, it has been complicated to develop PC-based measurement, visualisation or service applications for several Industrial Ethernet standards, since each protocol uses different interface cards and application programming interfaces.HMS Industrial Networks says its IXXAT INpact is the solution to this, offering a PCIe card in standard and low-profile formats which supports all leading industrial Ethernet standards.
Eaton to Showcase Vision for Fully Integrated Electro-hydraulic Future at Hannover Messe 2015
Eaton will showcase its latest generation of fully integrated electro-hydraulic solutions at Hannover Messe 2015 to enable machine builders to see how it is possible to deliver higher levels of accuracy, speed, energy efficiency, reliability and safety. Visitors to Hall 21, Stand F03, in the Motion, Drive & Automation section of the fair, will also get the chance to see Eaton’s latest hydraulics and filtration innovations, which focus o...
The top five problems with HMIs
A study from 2007 showed that 75% of office workers admit to resorting to physical violence against their computer; the other 25% probably only employed verbal abuse. Here, Jonathan Wilkins, Marketing Manager, European Automation, addresses this disturbing statistic while discussing the top five problems commonly faced when using HMIs.
Applications processor enters volume production
Freescale Semiconductor says it now has volume availability of the i.MX 6SoloX, applications processor enabling secure connected home, Internet of Things, and connected vehicles applications. The SoC incorporates cryptographic cipher engines and a configurable resource domain controller that allows peripherals to be locked or shared by the CPU cores.
Verotec wins flight simulator contract
Verotec has won a multi-year contract from a major North American manufacturer of flight simulators to supply more than 50,000 modified subrack front panels. 50 different designs of IEEE1101.10 compliant panels, modified variants of Verotec’s standard extruded aluminium panels, are needed in heights of 3U and 6U and in widths from 2 to 16HP.
Industrial panel PC suits harsh environments
DFI has launched KS310-IMX6, a Freescale i.MX6 processor-based fanless Panel PC using a 10.1” (1280x800) industrial grade LCD panel with projected capacitive touch solution and ARM architecture four/two Cortex-A9 processor at only 1.0GHz. To withstand harsh operating environments, KS310-IMX6 is made with a robust mechanical design and can operate from -20 to +60°C.
EVE ICs support up to 800x600px for larger displays
FTDI Chip has expanded its Embedded Video Engine (EVE) portfolio for advanced HMI implementation with four ICs supporting higher maximum screen resolutions than previously possible. The FT81xQ series supports up to 800x600px, increasing from the 512x512px of the FT800Q/801Q series, in order to address the larger displays (7" and above) used in point-of-sales units, information kiosks, etc.
