MicroPower Direct's MPM-08MB series is a family of single and dual output 8W ac/dc
power supplies. These high performance modules include a wide ac input, full
safety approvals, robust filtering and a miniature PCB mount package. Eight
standard models operate from an input of 90 to 305V ac, providing tightly
regulated outputs of 3.3, 5, 9, 12, 15, 24, +5/+3.3, or +12/+5V dc. Standard
features include filtering to EN55022 Class B, input/output isolation of 3,000V
ac and tight line/load regulation. All models are protected for over load, over
voltage and short circuit faults. The MTBF (per MIL HDBK 217F) of the MPM-08MB series is greater than 350
khours.
The MPM-08MB has a Class II input
(IEC61140). This means it can be used without an earth ground connection.
All models are approved to EN 60950. The series is certified to CE and is RoHS
compliant. The MPM-08MB series
is packaged in a 1.44 x 1.06 x 1.04 inch PCB mount package. Each model is rated
for operation over the operating temperature range of -40 to +70C (ambient). The
MPM-08 Mbyte series is a useful
solution for a variety of applications requiring high performance features and
a small PCB footprint. Applications would include industrial automation
systems, machine/process control equipment and telecommunications/data
processing systems. With its Class II input, the MPM-08MB series is an option for remote or portable equipment
where a reliable ground is often not available.
UK-based Plastic Logic and French company ISORG have created what the pair tout as a first in flexible printed electronics: a large area, conformable, organic image sensor printed on plastic.
For 3D printing to make the jump from rapid prototyping to manufacturing, engineers will need to find easier ways to move products from their CAD screens to their printers.
Gigabit and PoE are two networking technologies moving ahead in tandem as industrial users power remote Ethernet devices such as IP security cameras at 1,000 Mbps over existing CAT5 cable.

For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
