Panel Solutions from ITRON (U.K.) LTD
tron’s powerful ARM9-based
The NPA-1904 has been designed for industrial applications in demanding environments such as automation, medical applications and digital signage. The BoxPC Pro NPA-1904 is extremely robust, offers
D
high computing power and works reliably even in continuous operation. It comes with a unique docking connector that enables control of an external TFT display with LVDS and backlight. It also offers two USB 2.0 interfaces via which the TFT can be equipped with a touchscreen and another USB device such as a webcam. The Embedded Box PC gets its high performance from either an i5-7300U or an i3-7100U Intel Core processor. In addition to the docking connector, the BoxPC Pro
NPA-1904 offers a wide range of interfaces: one DisplayPort with a resolution of 4096x2304 pixels, two Gigabit Ethernet ports and two each RS485 and RS232. Four USB 3.0 ports on the front and two USB 2.0 ports on

the back are available for connecting external USB devices. Despite its slim design, the NPA-1904 has two DDR4-2133 memory sockets, each equipped with 4 GB (8GB). With a defined operating temperature of 0 to 45°C, the BoxPC is ideally suited for conventional industrial use and features an integrated watchdog timer. On request, DISTEC supplies the embedded Box PC with
pre-installed Windows 10 IoT LTSC 2019 operating system, which has been specially designed for global industrial use and is equipped with special embedded features such as a write filter, among others. To ensure cyber security, the box PC uses a TPM 2.0 chip on the hardware side for drive encryption. Click here to read more about the BoxPC Pro NPA-1904

embedded TFT modules provide serial interfaces to link host and peripheral devices using USB, RS232, RS485, Async, SPI, I2C, CAN and Ethernet. Most ports double up as general I/O with IRQ functionality. Our embedded solutions allow designer engineers to move application processing into the TFT module which reduces host overhead and enables easily manageable communication speeds. The host can send raw data to the TFT module for the operating system to process and synchronise display refresh, navigation and peripheral control.

ifm module turns any sensor into a speed monitor
T
he new DP2122 mini-display module from ifm electronic transforms any sensor that provides a pulse
output into a speed monitor with a local display and two user-adjustable switching setpoints. Not only does this provide a versatile and cost-effective solution for a wide range of speed monitoring applications, it also greatly reduces the processing load on the control system PLC compared with using the PLC to directly evaluate pulses from the sensor as a way of determining speed.
Typical applications for the DP1222 module include
monitoring the operation of belt and screw conveyors, fans, centrifuges, separators and other equipment where speed must be maintained within a specified operating range.

Trelleborg Unveils New High Temperature Castable Epoxy Tooling Material T
relleborg’s applied technologies operation unveils its new TC350 castable epoxy tooling solution. This
unique material has a high operating temperature of up to +180 OC, maintaining its shape at elevated temperatures for repeated direct to part manufacturing. in Rochdale, England, states: “TC350 is really
innovative in that it is available as a castable or board solution, engineered to be dimensionally stable in an autoclave up to +180 OC. Customers can create multiple finished parts directly from TC350, removing the requirement for costly carbon fiber prepregs and improving operational efficiencies." “The unique castable properties of TC350 mean it can
create tooling of any shape or size, from small intricate pieces to large complex designs, without the need for machining, reducing excess material wastage. As part of
its value-added services, Trelleborg can provide cast tools from 3-D CAD drawings, for customers that do not have access to CNC machines or with limited capacity.” TC350 is a specialized high temperature, low density
syntactic epoxy tooling board, supporting the creation of parts for use in a range of industries, such as aerospace, automotive and marine. The tooling board is compatible with lightweight carbon fiber, polypropylene, and glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) used in the manufacturing of electric vehicles. As a leading provider of tooling board materials for
the automotive and aerospace industries, TC350 is the latest addition to Trelleborg’s innovative range of tooling solutions available globally.
