World's Smallest PLC - Aromat NAIS FP0



Aromat NAIS/Matsushita Electric Works established a new world standard "SLIM" PLC. Starting from 10 I/O to 32 I/O, the CPU is only 25(w) x 90(h) x 70(d)mm. This is about 1/4 the size of the traditional bulky PLC style called "Brick". The FP0 saves precious panel space and money. Relay output types have removable screw terminal blocks. Power supply connector is also quick disconnect. Easy installation specially when you duplicate many systems. Up to 16 loops of PID and auto tuning are built into this “SLIM” PLC. The FP0 uses floating point math for its PID calculation which is more accurate than an integer PID. With the new thermocouple input unit, the FP0 can easily and accurately control temperature while it’s controlling I/O. The PID values can be easy calculated by the built-in auto tuning feature. 16 Auto Tuning loops can run at same time. The I-PD algorithm is also available to offer smoother control for sensitive applications. The picture left shows how small controller can control 8 loops of temperature, I/O and 2 axis of Motion.

The Aromat/NAiS FP0 Series PLC is still expandable up to 3 expansion unit right side of the CPU. It is also possible to mix and match with relay, transistor and analog. The FP0 can communicate via Ethernet, Internet, Modem as well as RS232C/485 for RTU application. Or FP0 can send E-mail out with FPWebServer. You can also monitor and edit the program via Modem, Ethernet, RS485 and RS232C. The FP0 is still world smallest PLC but it got powerful feature and industrially built. The FP0 has simultaneous 2 axis trapezoidal motion control. Programming is very simple. All you have to do is to set the low speed, high speed, acceleration time, target position and you are ready to do motion control. You can control up to 9.5KHz total.

Biasi Develops ActivA Unique Boiler Range Biasi UK has developed ActivA, a new range of high efficiency A rated condensing boilers boasting a unique heat exchanger. The launch of ActivA is further testimony to the company's commitment to strengthen its position in the UK domestic gas boiler market. At the heart of ActivA is a newly developed pre-mix condensing heat exchanger that is manufactured in a corrosion resistant, pressure moulded aluminium. Its sectional construction means it can be easily adjusted for different boiler outputs and its 'multipass' design ensures very low resistance for both combustion and water passage. This unique heat exchanger carries a five year guarantee. Designed to provide outstanding heating performance at an affordable price for almost all types of domestic properties, the compact range boasts some of the smallest boilers available - at just 700mm high x 400 wide and only 290mm deep - thereby allowing installation in cupboards.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as
