The FALCON PROSeries from Cleveland Motion Controls (http://rbi.ims.ca/4929-505) encompasses the company's complete line of Soft-PLC automated process control solutions. The easy-to-use software and HMI allows users to program process applications and make adjustments, in real-time, when necessary. The FALCON contains full HMI, logic and motion control features. The logic programming environment is IEC 61131-3 compatible, with exception/fault handling to simplify the design of real applications, and can be used for synchronized or coordinated motion control applications.
Products offered include Windows XP embedded technology, an integrated touchscreen or HMI, modular I/O and a preconfigured starter application and set-up/configuration screen. Soft PLC features include modular I/O and a standard 10.4-in touch screen. Drivers for more than three dozen different I/O systems including Profibus, Devicenet, Interbus-S and Ethernet I/O devices from many different manufacturers are supported.
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.
