PRODUCTS EDITOR'S CHOICE READY FOR BLUETOOTH 5? MODULARISED MONITORING SYSTEM
Mico Pro is the new current monitoring system from Murrelektronik. The modular system enables users to adapt systems precisely to suit specific applications – offering a favourable cost-benefit ratio while also being economical in their use of space. The patented tripping process assures optimum machine availability. Mico Pro monitors load and control currents and
identifies critical moments. It signals limit loads and switches defective channels off in a targeted manner. The device is a modular system for 12 and 24V DC
To coincide with Bluetooth Release 5, Rohde & Schwarz has expanded the functional range of its line of CMW wideband radio communication testers to cover the new specification. These options make it possible
to perform all RF measurements that are needed for development and for Bluetooth certification. The CMW-KM721 software option
is used to measure power, modulation and adjacent channel power (ACP) on the transmitter. With the CMW- KS721 software option, receiver measurements can be performed to determine the packet error rate and receiver sensitivity. These options permit manual operation with a variety of setting options and parameter adjustments. Complementary to these options,
the CMWrun automation software is available for running RF tests in remote control mode, allowing testers to perform new test cases at high speed. The instruments now cover all RF tests defined by Bluetooth SIG, from Bluetooth Basic Rate V1.2 to the new Bluetooth 5 specification for low energy. The new CMW-KM721 and CMW- KS721 Bluetooth options are available for all models of the CMW platform. Customers who already own a CMW can activate the options using license keys.

operating voltages. Components can be selected for the particular application from numerous Mico Pro modules. Users can select between modules with one, two or four output channels. The tripping currents are fixed (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 16A) or can be flexibly adjusted from one to 10A or from 11 to 20A. Mico Pro has an integrated potential distribution concept for +24 (or +12) and 0V that simplifies
switch cabinet wiring. There are connection options for +24V and 0V on each channel. The bridging system consists of two bars and lateral spring contacts for connecting diagnostic and
control signals. It is designed for a current of up to 40A. All inputs and outputs of the system are provided with push-in spring clamp terminals. In terms of Mico Po’s diagnostic functions, each channel is equipped with an LED for status indication on the device and digital status signals can be transferred to the PLC. A channel-specific switching function via a PLC signal allows the Flex modules to switch system
components on and off without any additional contactors, relays or optocouplers. Both short switching frequencies (of up to 10 Hz) and longer frequencies can be realised with the device.

WIDEBAND OPTICAL SPECTRUM ANALYSER
Yokogawa has launched a higher-performance successor to its AQ6315A wideband optical spectrum analyser. The new AQ6374 features diffraction grating based
monochromator technology, an enhanced user interface and an air purging feature. The instrument offers engineers a benchtop tool for general-purpose optical spectrum measurements over the wavelength range from 350 to 1,750nm. By inheriting and enhancing
the control technologies originally developed for the AQ6370 series, the AQ6374 model achieves superior operability and
measurement speeds up to 40 times that achieved by the AQ6315A. The ability to sample 100,001 points of data enables measurement over a broad wavelength range with high resolution, while data-transfer rates during remote control via Ethernet are up to 100 times faster than for the AQ6315A.

Fluke has introduced a new software feature that integrates high-resolution thermal data from the company’s TiX580 and TiX560 infrared cameras with National Instruments’ LabView and MathWorks’ Matlab software, leveraging the strength of those platforms and making it easy to add high-resolution infrared data, video and images to R&D analysis and reporting. Once installed, the software

allows continuous download of pixel-by-pixel, high-
resolution radiometric data. R&D professionals can now use these infrared cameras to thermally capture video and port the video data frame-by- frame into their Matlab or LabView software, and monitor it over time, identifying very small temperature changes that could indicate problems.

Phoenix Contact’s new angled M23 Advance signal connectors have been designed in accordance with a degree of protection of IP 65/67 and feature full EMC protection. The cable connectors are available with the Speedcon fast locking system making them suitable for convenient field cabling under industrial ambient conditions. The connectors, with male or female contacts for six to 19 positions, are compatible with previous M23 signal connectors and can be used with numerous device connectors. The conductor connection is established using either a soldering or crimping process. The company says the cable connectors are suitable for currents up to 20A and voltages up to 300V, depending on the number of positions. This angled variant rounds off the
company's range of circular connectors in size M23 for on-site assembly.
