Power Panel 200 devices from B&R (http:// rbi.ims.ca/4929-508) offer the functions of a controller along with modular fieldbus interfaces and input systems ranging from analog resistive touch screens to keyboard devices. These products feature 266 MHz processors, Ethernet 10/100, serial and USB interfaces, plus a CompactFlash slot. Depending on visualization requirements, the user has the option to select either a horizontally or vertically formatted Power Panel.
Integrating control and motion technology, Power Panel 200 devices are equipped with up to two slots for interface modules for communicating to I/O points, intelligent servo drives and third party devices. Communication performance can be achieved in the less than one msec range. The Power Panel series supports CAN bus, Profibus DP, X2X Link, and ETHERNET PowerlinkTM connections.
Almost every automaker has had to 'pick a side' when it comes to alternative fuel options and ways to divest from a reliance on gasoline. Fiat is looking to back compressed natural gas or liquid propane as an interim solution.
Designing and filling a new type of water bottle might take less engineering work, but the description will help kids understand how science, math, and engineering influence their lives even through things that seem mundane.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
