How Does Conduction Cooling Keep Heat in Check? – 8400530
Keeping Heat in Check: Conduction Cooling Expands Application Boundaries Current application demands of PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) modules have grown from the simple addition of I/O and low-level communications to the servicing and off-loading of high-performance software defined radio (SDR), digital signal processing (DSP), co-processing, and now re-configurable FPGA-based computing with gigabit interfaces. This trend…
How to Use Process Transmitters to Provide a High Voltage Output Up to ±20V DC – 8400973
Defining the Problem: We are developing a 12V DC battery simulator that reaches 14.4V when charging. Our controller output cards are limited to 10V and we need a device that can step up the output to 15V. Typical process signal conditioners have standard ranges of 10V maximum. We require a device with a higher output…
How to Remotely Control AC Power for a WEB Server with Ethernet Digital I/O – 8400642
Steps to Remotely Control AC Power for a WEB Server, Using Acromag’s ES2113 or 989EN-4C16 Ethernet Digital I/O Modules Objective This document outlines the steps taken to use an ES2113 or 989EN DIO to control a latching relay that is used to open or close the AC power (115 VAC) path used by a multi…
How to Set Up Communications between HMI and Remote I/O Demo – 8400643
Demo Program: How to Set Up Communications between IDEC HMI and Acromag 965EN Scope To establish communications between an IDEC HG3G HMI, set up as a Modbus/TCP master, and Acromag’s 965EN Remote I/O, set up as a Modbus/TCP slave. IDEC HMI Setup Projects for IDEC’s HG3G series of HMIs are created with WindO/I-NV2 software. To…
How to Connect Ethernet I/O Modules with RadioLinx Ethernet Modems – 8500770
Connecting Acromag Series 900EN I/O Modules to an existing network with RadioLinx Ethernet Modems Background – IP Addresses Any TCP/IP packet contains two addresses: a unique fixed MAC address, and a unique IP address. To communicate on the Internet, computers must have unique identifiers in order to differentiate one computer from another. This is accomplished…
How to Use a Modbus/TCP Module as Remote I/O with a Honeywell Controller – 8400640
How to Use Acromag’s 967EN Modbus/TCP Module as Remote I/O with Honeywell HC-900 Hybrid Controller The Acromag 967EN has eight analog 4-20mA inputs. It is a Modbus/TCP slave; thus ideal for use as remote I/O with a Honeywell HC-900 Hybrid Controller (Process Automation Controller) that runs as a Modbus/TCP master over a standard Ethernet network…
How to Use Acromag 600T Series Isolated Transmitters – 8401028
Application 1 Re-transmitting a signal from a two-wire loop to a second location. Solution Use either a model 651T-0600 (single channel) or 652T-0600 (dual channel) transmitter. Application 2 Splitting a signal from a two-wire loop: two outputs for different locations. Solution Use either a 653T-0600 (single input, dual output) or 652T-0600 (dual input, dual output)…
How to Convert a 4-20mA Level Signal to a 4-20mA Signal Proportional to Volume – 8401007
Defining the Problem: Convert a 4-20mA level signal (proportional to height) to a 4-20mA signal proportional to volume. Solution: Model 892M-0500 dual-input math module Model 800C-SIP software interface package Optional: Model PS5R-VD24 power supply Download PDF for complete application note.
How to Excite a 2-wire, 4-20mA Continuous Level Sensor & Provide 2 Relay Outputs for Pump Up with Overfill Alarm – 8400393
Pump Up with Overfill Alarm This document illustrates how to use APM765-6R2-10 meters for exciting a 2-wire, 4-20mA continuous level sensor, and provide two relay outputs. One relay is for pump control (filling) and the other relay is for high alarm (overfill) with automatic or manual reset. Learn more about the APM765 Panel Meters here….
