This motion control card is the first to communicate and supply power at the same time using an Ethernet bus, working at distances up to several thousand yards. It has an integrated Web server, using Ethernet protocol to control 10-48V dc brush motors. It can work with protocols like http and TCP-IP that are already embedded in most major computer operating systems, plus it runs from an Ethernet cable at powers up to 15W (card + motor), using the latest IEEE 802.3af standards. An external power supply allows the card to work at up to 70W continuous and 140W max. Its embedded RISC processor has a 4-quadrant, 32-bit RISC PID regulator, refreshing power regulation of to 4KHz with a sampling rate of 20-2,000Hz, so it can control brushed dc motors by position and speed, and position with a trapezoidal speed profile. They come in a variety of available modes.
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.
