13. Depending on the area of application, embedded systems are subject to highly varied requirements in terms of mechanical stability such as shock and vibration resistance, IP and EMC protection and cooling. Christian Ganninger and David Martin of Pentair – Schroff, explore how, by using a modular approach to system design, new possibilities for fulfilling these different requirements can be identified
Enclosure materials...
15. Most designers protect field process instrumentation and control equipment against the effects of its environment by using some form of enclosure. But if, as is often the case, the environment contains corrosive chemicals, the long-term integrity of the enclosure can be threatened. For any application with a long lifecycle, it is therefore essential that the enclosure fabrication material does not contribute to, or suffer from, corrosion. Klaus-Dieter Meyer, vice president of Intertec, reports
Safety...
18. Inspection of low voltage equipment at London Stansted airport needs to be undertaken in a time window of just four hours per night. However, the installation of IRISS CAP infrared inspection windows has not only improved safety but has drastically reduced inspection time

ENCLOSURES: Lifting the lid on enclosure design COVER STORY
