Panel PC and monitors for industry

Spectra PowerTwin: Displays optionally in 4:3 or 16:9 format. When equipping an entire production line or manufacturing facility with display units, i. e. industrial panel PCs or monitors, it makes sense to use one product series for many reasons: Setup, maintenance and replenishment is much easier. You save time and also money and, in addition, the uniform design offers aesthetic benefits as well as uniform installation.

Step-down DC-DC converter in 1/16th brick footprint delivers 750 W

Step-down DC-DC converter in 1/16th brick footprint delivers 750 W

TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the 750 W rated TDK-Lambda i7A series of non-isolated buck DC-DC converters, packaged in the industry-standard 1/16th brick footprint. The output voltage of these 24 V nominal input step-down converters can be adjusted from 3.3 V to 18 V with a maximum current of 45 A. However, since the i7A is a step-down converter, the input voltage must always be at least 4 to 6 V higher than the desired output voltage.

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) – a megatrend in industrial data transmission

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) – a megatrend in industrial data transmission

The steadily increasing level of digitalisation is pushing conventional cabling concepts for decentralised, modular control systems and sensor technology to their limits. Particularly in terms of transparency, space requirements and installation effort, they are no longer able to meet the new requirements. In the meantime, Single Pair Ethernet technology (SPE) has developed into the next generation of communication architecture as an...

Data processing directly on the edge

Data processing directly on the edge

Powerful and compact Mini-PC series Spectra PowerBox 410. In industry, IoT applications are now part of everyday life. A great deal of data is generated, which must be processed as quickly as possible, often even in real time. Delays, such as those caused by the geographical distance between the place of use and the data centre, must be avoided. The goal is to process the data at least partially directly at the end device or within a factory.

New Power: The changing technology of DC-DC converter design and manufacture

DC-DC converters are used in many applications; telecom, data communications, test and measurement, process control, semiconductor fabrication, industrial manufacturing, medical devices and battery powered equipment. They offer a simple way of deriving additional low power outputs from a higher power AC-DC supply, for example a 24 V output driving motors, relays or pumps. Alternatively if the system is powered by a 12 V battery, DC-DC converters can provide stable, regulated voltages during the...
