New Challenges for Test


test stands for function tests in the area of civil and military aviation technology, and for product tests of consumer electronics during the production process. Such complex products require test systems with a high data throughput and extremely precise clock and trigger signals for synchronizing the functions of the test object. These devices can be easily integrated into IIoT networks and offer enough data bandwidth to connect and synchronize the test devices to and with the rest of the production line. Additionally, detailed data is transferred for quality management as well as for documentation. Thanks to its fast data transfer rates with PCIe, paired with the implemented high-precision clock and trigger architecture which synchronizes the cards with each other, PXI Express is very suitable for such test, measurement, and simulation tasks. nVent SCHROFF products are available from specialist electromechanical distributor Foremost Electronics.

been at the forefront of European industry for the last 40 years and they still find new opportunities in applications that cannot be solved in any other way - as reliably and/or cost effectively, including certain medical and automotive applications. Providing OEMs with the option of wide -40 to +85 degrees operating temperature ranges, the modules offer high


brightness visibility and wide viewing angle, in all directions. Design engineers are provided with character and graphic format options or a combination of both. Should customers need software support, then the Modmaster Development Software is available. Itron (UK) Ltd is also able to offer a design-in capability by providing custom developed modules.

How to monitor and manage your whole VSD powertrain without setting foot on-site


getting personnel on-site to monitor and maintain assets is not easy, especially during the current challenges facing industry. ABB AbilityTM Condition Monitoring for Powertrains


A


comprises smart sensors which fit directly to your motors, mechanical transmission components such as mounted bearings, and driven loads such as pumps. The smart sensors monitor parameters such as


temperature, vibration, noise and energy consumption. This data is then wirelessly transmitted via the cloud to give you information on the performance, efficiency and condition of your equipment and process. This reduces the need for visual inspection or manual


measurement, while opening up huge possibilities for predictive maintenance. To find out more visit: http://bit.ly/2vxHlkO.
