TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIAL
he BVM Group has introduced the BT700 Qseven Computer on Module supporting the latest Baytrail processors from Intel. The Qseven module gives embedded system designers more flexibility in the mechanical configuration of the system and adds the ability to tailor the I/O to the final system’s exact requirements.
The BT700 is a Qseven specification Rev2.0 compliant
module, a 70 x 70 mm board that contains the required core functionality: processor, memory, BIOS, LVDS, HDMI and DVI display options, LAN, on-board storage and external interfaces.
Fully supported by Windows 8 Enterprise x64 Operating
System, a choice of Intel Atom and Celeron BGA 1170 processors can be specified. A mini-ITX carrier board is available for development and provides the real-world interface connections for evaluation.
For production, custom carrier boards can be designed; they can be almost any shape, allowing more compact designs to be realised. BVM offer a design service for custom carrier boards. Removing the rectangular form factor associated with standard SBCs, which can limit the physical design of the host equipment, opens up styling and design options for the system.
The BT700 is highly specified, supporting up to 16GB of on-module memory and with interfaces for USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports, PCIe and mini-PCIe slots, video, audio, keyboard and mouse connectors, serial ports, LAN ports, SATA ports and other I/O. In addition, special I/O, power supply, graphics drivers or special networks can also be designed into the carrier board. Two extended temperature versions are available for use in harsh environments.

Qseven module with Baytrail CPU T
BM – a market leader in the field of test and measurement – is pleased to announce the new FIT7A Digital Load Cell, specifically designed to meet the needs of demanding requirements of weighing in modern manufacturing lines. Suitable for use in a very wide range of production environments which require dynamic weighing, sorting, filling and dosing, the robust FIT7A load cell offers manufacturers high precision and processing speed. Based on the very latest HBM strain gauge technology, the innovative new sensor features class C4 accuracy per OIML R60 and a maximum scale division Y of up to 25,000 and addresses the problem of bottlenecks, which can often slow down production rates.

Automation in enclosure assembly K
iesling Maschinentechnik, a member of the internationally successful Friedhelm Loh
Group, is a specialist for automation solutions in switchgear manufacture. After a five-year development period, the Averex, the world’s first robotic wiring centre is production-ready. But first, two real-world field tests will be conducted in the second half of 2014. Averex has been specially developed for wiring enclosu-re mounting plates. The system cuts the wires to the correct length before stripping and crimping with wire ferrules, feeding the wires through the cable duct and attaching them to components such as terminal blocks, contactors and motor circuit breakers.
