ControlMonitors Autonomously and Locally
Operated despite Networking |
| |
 |
Kistler offers a series of digital ControlMonitors (brand name:
CoMo®) for process analysis and monitoring based on, for example,
force/time or force/displacement curves. The two network-capable systems
CoMo Net Type 5863A1… and CoMo View Type 5863A2… have now been expanded
by several options: |
|
|
An incremental input for displacement and angular measurement. - Support
for the SSI interface for absolute displacement measurement. - The
integrated Profibus connection with expanded functionality is now
offering four different interface protocols (2 … 24 input bytes, 3 … 50
output bytes). - A Compact Flash memory card as buffer memory guarantees
perfect data export even with network interruptions or server
maintenance. The expanded touch screen operation of CoMo View allows new
installations or maintenance work on a system also without PC support. A
terminal is available under the type designation 5629A1 which matches
the CoMo View control unit. ... |

Mixed-Signal-ASICs and ASSPs from 0.9V up
to 100V |
| |
 |
PREMA Semiconductor is exhibiting again at this year's electronica in
Munich from 14th to 17th November 2006. Our location: Hall A4, Booth
A4-406. The semiconductor manufacturer PREMA Semiconductor GmbH
offers in-house development and production of customized, analog and
mixed-signal ICs, together with standard ICs for specific applications (ASSPs),
a new product segment. |
|
|
The applied ModuS U6 process has been enhanced continuously. NPN and PNP
transistors with smaller structures are now available as well as
metal-metal capacitors with a high sheet capacitance and CMOS
transistors. The high voltage bipolar components allow circuit designs
for supply voltages from 1V up to 100V in consumer applications and in
the industrial and automotive range. Sensors like photo diodes and hall
elements together with highly sensitive instrumentation amplifiers can
be integrated into one chip as well as high voltage transistors and CMOS
switches. Digital circuit parts can be realized with small-sized CCL
gates. ... |

Modern Smart Hall Sensor Technology and
its Application in Contactless Position Measurement |
| |
Introduction: Hall Sensors are well known as robust, accurate and cheap
components for any kind of position measurement. Declared obsolete with
each arrival of a new technology (magnetoresistive, magnetoimpedance,
magnetotunneling), Hall sensors have nevertheless managed to increase
their field of application continuously, due to their complete
compatibility with integrated microelectronic circuits. Every modern car
today contains between 15 and 50 Hall sensors and over 50 million cars
are manufactured each year worldwide. Modern smart Hall sensors are
rather monolithic computers with co-integrated Hall cells, than just
"field-to-voltage" transducers. They feature extraordinary versatility,
precision and robustness and can be manufactured in very high volume at
a low per-unit cost. Christian Schott and Vincent Hiligsmann of
Melexis will present a tutorial "Modern Smart Hall Sensor Technology
and its Application in Contactless Position Measurement " at IEEE
sensors 2006 in Daegu, Korea, on Sunday, Oct 22, 2006. Space is limited,
so please reserve your place. The tutorial will be given in two parts:
Part 1: A presentation on Hall sensor basics, components and
architecture of smart Hall sensor systems, and their application in
position measurement. .... |

Non-Contact Temperature Measurement Made
Simple and Inexpensive |
| |
 |
Temperature is the most often measured physical parameter. However,
remote non-contact temperature measurement has previously been
complicated and expensive due to the complex signal treatment and
calibration involved. In response to this problem, Melexis
announces the availability of the MLX90614 infrared thermometer family.
This small and cost effective non-contact thermometer delivers a fully
calibrated, digital temperature reading of a remote object. |
|
|
It achieves this feat by integrating an infrared sensor and a custom
signal conditioning chip in one TO-can package. Due to the built-in
intelligence, high accuracy and wide temperature operating range of the
MLX90614, OEM manufacturers can easily integrate non-contact temperature
measurement in car air conditioning, room heaters, home appliances,
handhelds and medical equipment. The sensing element in the MLX90614 is
an automotive grade silicon chip with a thin, micro-machined membrane
heated by the infrared radiation of a distant object. This heating is
detected by on chip thermocouples. ... |

Contactless rotary sensor provides peak performance in harsh
environments |
| |
 |
Leading manufacturer of high precision sensing equipment, Penny +
Giles, has launched its largest contactless rotary position sensor,
the SRH880. Using proven, non-contact Hall effect technology, the new
SRH880 is robust and can operate in high dither conditions with a
virtually limitless sensor life. |
|
|
It also features a rugged aluminium or corrosion resistant stainless
steel housing for use in harsh environments. As a result OEMs benefit
from a reliable, long life sensor that provides accurate rotary
measurement in construction, agricultural, military and utility vehicles.
SRH880 has a 12mm diameter shaft and is presented in an 88mm housing
with a protection rating of IP68M. It is fully submersible and can
operate at a depth of up to two meters. It features a double bearing
support with superior shaft strength for increased reliability in
heavy-duty applications. The SRH880 sensor operates from an 8-30Vdc
unregulated supply and provides an electrical output over 90°, 180°,
270° or the full 360° range ... |
