PRODUCTS EDITOR’S CHOICE RITTAL TO BUILD WORLD’S MOST ADVANCED PRODUCTION PLANT


and digitisation will underpin highly-efficient production, logistics and communications processes. There will be corresponding


upgrades to two other plants in the region, and the construction of a further plant for large stainless- steel enclosures. The 24,000 m² Haiger facility


R


ittal is to build an advanced production plant for compact


enclosures in Haiger, Germany, with completion scheduled for 2018. Total capital expenditure will


amount to 250 million euros, making it the largest single investment in the company’s history. State-of-the-art infrastructure


will manufacture 9,000 enclosures a day from 300 standard types, in accordance with each customer’s specific needs. Digital technology will play a key


role, as will machining and assembly tools from Rittal Automation Systems’ portfolio. Materials will be transported across the plant by means of automated


guided vehicles (AGVs), dispensing with human operators. Intelligent systems, with machine-learning abilities will be deployed to continuously increase system availability, and to predictively order spare parts, reducing the likelihood of unplanned downtime due to wear and tear. Fully automated control systems,


for example in the paint shop, will minimise energy consumption, costs and environmental impact. Haiger will act as a pilot and


model for upgrades at other Rittal sites throughout the world. Digitisation of production processes is vital to delivering future improved efficiencies.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE VERSATILE CONNECTORS HOUSE A WIDE RANGE OF MODULES


Electrical connectors often need to meet a number of demanding requirements, such as ruggedness, reliability, low contact resistance, compact size and shock and vibration resistance. Offering all these features, with the additional advantage of being modular, is the CombiTac connector system from Multi-Contact. Modules can be fitted with any combination of high voltage, high current, data,


fibre optic, power, thermocouple and coaxial contacts, and even media such as pneumatics and hydraulics. This wide range of contact types means that application specific requirements can


be met using standard components. The modules can be added or reconfigured on site, so that changing requirements can be easily satisfied without the need to buy


new connectors. Modules can carry current levels of up to 300 A and voltages up to 5 kV, and all the necessary signal and


data contacts can be included within a single space saving connector. Touch protection is provided to ensure safety when high voltages are being used, and they are rated for up to 100 000 mating cycles. One example of a connector for the CombiTac system is the high density data module. This compact contact


carrier, which can house up to 20 poles with 0.6 mm diameter contacts, is ideal where space constraints require a small footprint. Reliability is helped by an inner wall between the gold-plated pins which protects against mechanical damage. Typical applications for it include industrial test and measurement, factory automation, medical equipment and aeronautic equipment testing. Various housing sizes are available for rack and panel mounting or with aluminium or plastic DIN housings, with environmental protection up to IP68. www.multi-contact.com


Schaffner has introduced its new FN 22xx HV and FN 33xx HV standard filters for high current applications for 690 VAC and 1,500 VDC PV inverters, converters and motor drives. Together with appropriately sized 690 VAC EMC/EMI filters FN 331x HV on the line side, the new FN 221x HV DC filters help to meet the limits of binding EMC standards for PV installations. The 1,500 VDC filter FN 221x HV help to increase the service life of the solar panel, improve its reliability, and reduce potential interference radiations of the panel, by keeping away the inverter- born high-frequency and leakage currents.

and circuit-level implementation for mixed- signal internet of things (IoT) and automotive applications. Designers can now use the analogue and mixed-signal simulator, perform behavioural-level modelling, analysis and visualisation, and utilise all post-process analysis and measurement functions in a single, integrated system design and debug environment. The integration of the simulator with Matlab and Simulink provides a complete solution for PCB design and implementation. Simulink is a multidomain simulation


environment for dynamic systems that is used


Cadence Design Systems, Inc. has partnered with MathWorks to streamline system-level design


6 NOVEMBER 2016 | ELECTRONICS


for algorithm development, system modelling and simulation, and verification in a broad range


of applications in automotive, aerospace, semiconductor, communications and autonomous systems designs. PSpice is a SPICE-based simulator used for simulation of mixed-signal electrical and electronic circuits. Prior to this integrated solution, customers had


to simulate their design blocks independently without the ability to input feedback from one system into the other. In contrast, simulating the entire system-level design within the integrated debug environment results in a faster, less error- prone process. Such simulation and analysis capabilities are key for IoT customers who want to quickly assemble a board and get to market. www.cadence.com

A precision voltage reference that incorporates two high current output buffers has been released by Linear Technology. Based on a 2.5V bandgap voltage reference, each output can be separately configured for any voltage between 2.5V and 6V. Both outputs offer 0.05% initial accuracy, 10ppm/°C temperature drift and only 1.5ppm of low frequency noise. The outputs can drive up to 50mA and 150mA, respectively, and sink up to 20mA. Typical load regulation is only 0.1ppm/mA with up to 150mA of load current. In parallel, the buffer outputs can be combined for even higher current capability. The LT6658 is ideal for driving the


reference input for a high resolution ADC or DAC using one output, while simultaneously supplying power to other devices using the second output. www.linear.com
