Micro/sys Expands I/O Flexibility on the First ARM Cortex-A8 SBC by Enhancing Access to the User-Configurable On-Board FPGA

For maximum off-the-shelf I/O flexibility, Micro/sys provides user access to a Xilinx Spartan 6 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) on a low-power, high-performance Cortex-A8 single board computer (SBC) using Freescale Semiconductor's i.MX515 processor. The Micro/sys SBC1651 is easily embeddable supporting a 104™ Form Factor and is available in extended temperature.

Matching the newest Freescale i.MX processor series with Xilinx's vast library of IP modules for I/O expansion, this powerful SBC provides embedded users with the world's first completely integrated solution on a small, low-power, rugged board. OEMs reap the benefit of this integration realizing reduced development efforts, easily customized I/O, faster time to market, easier production builds, and lower total cost of ownership.

8400 HighLine Joins Lenze L-Force 8400 Inverter Drives for Motion Control

Lenze Americas, a leading global manufacturer of electrical and mechanical drives, motion control and automation technology, has launched the new 8400 HighLine Inverter Drives, part of the Lenze L-force 8400 portfolio. Designed for positioning applications, the HighLine model features integrated point-to-point positioning for up to 15 position destinations, and stores the corresponding travel profiles directly in the inverter. “Positioning in motor drive systems used to require a separate motion controller. Most applications don’t require a higher cost servo drive. Dynamic speed, torque and precision motion control can be achieved with a powerful inverter in combination with an asynchronous motor,” states Darrow Hanesian, director of inverter products, Lenze Americas. “Our streamlined HighLine delivers all the cost savings and benefits of combining two drive elements—the motion controller and the frequency inverter — into one.” The HighLine inverters’ integrated components transl...

Beko Oil-Vapour Monitor Gains TUV Certification Beko's Metpoint OCV oil-vapour monitoring system for chemical and pharmaceutical production processes has been certified by TUV Nord in accordance with the requirements of ISO 8573-1, Classes 1 to 4. According to the company, even 'oil-free' components give no guarantee for 'oil-free' compressed air, owing to the contamination of the ambient air/intake air. In most cases, a certain residual oil content cannot be entirely avoided in standard applications. The precise monitoring of the oil-vapour content, which is possible at any time, is important. In particular, in critical production processes in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, in food production and surface coating, the analysis and control of compressed-air quality is a crucial factor, according to Beko. The network-compatible Metpoint OCV offers constant monitoring down to the range of a thousandth mg/m3 and features a touch-screen display and 24/7 pr...
