The X67 offers 64 microsteps, stall detection, IP67 protection, and a compact design. It comes in two variants: the X67SM4320, which can control up to two stepper motors with a 18-30V dc-rated voltage at a motor current up to 1A (1.5A peak), and a maximum step frequency of 20 kHz, and the X67SM236, which can control up to two stepper motors with a rated voltage of 18-48V dc at a motor current up to 3A (5A peak), with a maximum step frequency of 20 kHz. The latter variant also six digital inputs. Both versions can be controlled with position settings from the B&R Soft NC or Soft CNC. The modules also come with automatic motor detection at standstills, which use coil characteristics to identify the connected motors and generate feedback in an analog value.
Inforbix is leveraging its CAD and product data access technology to power up a free iPad app that lets mobile users search and access engineering data.
Unlike his friends in engineering programs, blogger Jon Titus had little need for calculus except in a few of his college physical-chemistry labs and classes.
In the wake of the Chevy Volt fire investigations, sales are down, and General Motors' (GM) CEO Dan Akerson is blaming the downturn on a spate of bad publicity.
Thanks to embedded electronics, medical devices are getting smaller and smarter than ever. Pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are now able to call physicians. MRIs, CT scanners, and ultrasound machines are gaining mobility. And the venerable Band-Aid may soon be able to detect illnesses ranging from fevers to heart arrhythmias. On February 21, join Design News senior editor Charles Murray for a wide-ranging discussion, "Embedded Angles for Medical Products," which will explore the latest developments in medical electronics. The discussion will examine advances in medical device technology and offer an inside look at the embedded electronics behind it.
