TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIAL


Power PCB terminals and connectors from Weidmüller now available through TTI, Inc.


W Standalone, network-


solutions for automatic license plate recognition (ALPR). The modular Carrida software and hardware components enable blacklist/whitelist access control, parking management, identification of vehicle types and colors, and data logging. They can be networked with gates, barriers, ticket printers, under-vehicle scanners (UVSS), and other relevant equipment. Vision Components’ core ALPR product for OEMs is the high-performance, hardware- independent Carrida software engine with a typical processing time of 30 ms and a reading accuracy >96%. It can process all common still image and video formats, detects all plates displayed in one image, and recognizes characters with a minimum height of 12 px. A dedicated parking management software tool files all collected data and makes it available at any time for review and statistical analysis via web GUI.

OMC expands into new manufacturing facility O


MC, the pioneer in optoelectronics manufacturing, has completed its move into a new, purpose-built


manufacturing facility, reflecting an increase in demand for both its bespoke and off-the-shelf optoelectronic solutions. The company - known for its LED and fibre-optic expertise as ‘the problem solvers’ - has seen significant growth in two areas, customer-specific LED backlighting for LCD displays, and fibre optic cable assemblies, transmitters and receivers for use in industrial applications. The move into a state-of- the-art new facility will, they say, enable the company to support this growth and develop new solutions. Explains OMC’s Commercial Director, William Heath: “We


have occupied several facilities during our 30+ year history, and are delighted to have now constructed a factory designed specifically for our complex needs. We have dedicated development and assembly departments, as well as specialist test areas and a new machine shop capable of both prototyping and mass component production.”

M12 Connectors for BUS Systems M


-style connectors are categorised by the size of the threaded locking nut; these include M8, and M12 connectors. Tough and robust, these waterproof, circular screw connectors are the de-facto standard in the process industry


for reliable automated connections: protected to IP67. M8/M12 connectors provide a future-proof interface that supports higher-bandwidth needs, meeting the requirements of up to 10GB/s. All the leading BUS protocols are also available.


M12 connectors may also be coded. The common used keyed types are:


A-Coded; used in CAN-Bus, DeviceNet B-Coded; used to prevent mating with standard sensor A coding and in field buses like Profibus DP D-Coded; 4 pole used with Industrial Ethernet & Profinet. Ethernet M12 plugs and jacks with 100 MHz


X-Coded; 8 pole used in 10 Gbps Ethernet acc. to IEEE 802.3 CAT 6A – X-Coded connectors are ideal for industrial network applications in harsh environments. It is possible to transmit up to 10 Gbp/s and the X-coding design conforms to IEC 61076-2-109. Overmoulded male M12 double-ended cordsets and male M12 to male RJ45 CAT6A cordsets are currently available. All cordsets are available in standard 2, 3, 5 and 10 meter lengths. Suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE plus, and UPoE)


Bus Systems


Bus technology has advanced in industrial automation. The connectors required for data transmission are very BUS- specific. To access the complex world of Bus technology, Conec offers connectors for Profibus DP and Industrial Ethernet.


Profibus is a manufacturer-dependent, open fieldbus system for a variety of applications in manufacturing, processing and building automation.


Industrial Ethernet is the general term for all applications that use the Ethernet standard to network devices used in industrial automation.

Knitted wire mesh EMC gasket


nitted wire mesh is the original gasket for RFI/EMI shielding and is still one of the most cost effective


solutions. In applications where low frequencies in the magnetic field are a problem the bulk of metal in knitted mesh gaskets make it the best performer. At 10 kHz, H field (magnetic field) it is possible to achieve a shielding effectiveness of 62 dB attenuation making it suitable for EMP electromagnetic pulse) applications, at higher frequencies such as 10Ghz, attenuation’s of above 45 dB can be achieved. Knitted mesh is very versatile as it can be knitted to


any diameter from 1mm up to 25 mm as a solid mesh or over any type of sponge rubber cord or tube therefore fine-tuning its compressibility from hard to very soft. Rectangular sections are available and sponge or solid rubber with a self adhesive backing can be bonded along the length of the mesh to form an environmental seal and or act as an assembly aid.
