OMRON introduces a bi-directional DC power relay specifically for next generation of home renewable energy systems
Omron DMS Europe has launched the first product as part of its new organisation- wide focus on tackling the challenges of climate change and, specifically, helping to drive the change to net zero emission fuels. The new device – the Omron G9KB – is a PCB power relay that provides bi-directional high power DC switching for the next generation of renewable battery energy storage systems (BESS) for homes and DC wall boxes for electric vehicles (EVs). It can replace two
standard uni-directional relays in this type of application. The market for domestic-scale renewable energy generation systems is transitioning from a feed-in tariff (FIT) model where unused (“redundant”) energy from solar panels is fed into the electricity grid, to a self-consumption or larger-scale energy storage system (ESS) that reduces grid dependency and makes it easier to make the most of low or zero emissions power.

New IMD-3101 radar system with special vision The IMD-3101 offers reliable motion detection in up to 80 m for light automation applications. Its features perfectly meet the requirements of monitoring aisles in high-bay warehouses. Typically wide-angled motion sensors are challenged with interferences and false alarms due to movements in the adjacent area. But the narrow aperture angle (15° x 114°) sets the IMD-3101 clearly apart from these motion sensors. Thanks to the smart antenna design and state-of-the-art signal processing, the detection focusses on a limited field to prevent unwanted triggers. The 24 GHz radar detects speed, direction of movement and distance of moving people and other objects (e.g. forklifts). With the precise data it is possible to filter the detection and optimize the automation application. As Plug-and-play System, the cost-effective product can be easily integrated and evaluated.

E-Bike Speed Sensor Targets High Resolution of Signal
With the increasing popularity and growing trend of e-bikes, bicycle system suppliers have set goals to optimize power and performance of their drive systems. In order to support the driver in the best possible way, sensors are needed to deliver the required data and therefore adapt the engine's power support. An essential component is the ZF e-bike sensor for measuring the current speed, which is based on Hall technology with significant advantages over conventional reed switches.
Especially for high-quality e-bikes, all components need to be functional, from the drive to the battery and cabling. This is also the case with the ZF e-bike sensor. Speed sensors of the GS series have been specially developed for use in Pedelecs and S-Pedelecs. The extremely compact design meets the necessary requirements for the use in e-bikes.

RTI Announces Connext Drive 2.0, the Production-Grade Connectivity Framework for Software-Defined Vehicles
Real-Time Innovations (RTI) today announced RTI Connext Drive® 2.0, the production- grade connectivity framework for software- defined vehicles. Connext Drive now accelerates direct integrations into AUTOSAR Classic and ROS 2, enabling developers to leverage data-centric connectivity with familiar ecosystem architectures. This allows a faster start to build on existing, familiar platforms and eliminates the need for custom programming. It also minimizes overall system complexity and cost, while building a future-proof, evolving system that doesn’t compromise performance. Connext Drive 2.0 offers an accelerated path to deliver high performance compute capabilities via safety-certification components and teleoperation plug-ins. Connext Drive is based on the Data Distribution Service (DDS™) standard, the leading data connectivity standard that has also been adopted by Automotive standard organizations, AUTOSAR and ROS.
