ELECTROMECHANICAL RELAYS

Improved RF signal repeatability

Designed to provide a practical surface-mount solution with improved RF signal repeatability over the frequency range, the GRF300 and GRF303 high repeatability, broadband TO-5 electromechanical relays employ a butt-lead mounting scheme. A unique ground shield insulates and shields each lead, allowing for contact-to-contact and pole-to-pole isolation. The ground shield also reportedly provides a ground interface that results in improved high-frequency performance and parametric repeatability (the RF insertion loss is plus or minus 0.1 dB).

DUAL PID MODULE

Downloadable PLC drivers

The CSPID2 Module is reportedly the first Dual PID module to offer a "drag and drop" configuration and downloadable PLC drivers in a high density, 32 zone/single node module for dedicated PID control outside the PLC. This enables users to eliminate writing PLC protocols and to integrate with any PLC. The module is designed for the Red Lion Modular Controller Series. Applications include plastic extrusion, vacuum forming and blow molding, packaging equipment, and heat treating. Red Lion Controlshttp://rbi.ims.ca/3853-578

EMBEDDED TARGET

AMPLIFIER

For servo motors

The AB5 Amplifier supports all of the company's precision servo motors by "linearizing" the voltage to velocity profile at the amplifier level and eliminating the need for custom servo algo-rithms. The amplifier lets users turn the motor static holding force on or off, allowing the linear or rotary mechanism to be moved manually, and applying static holding force only when desired. This makes servo motors more like any dc motor. Nanomotionhttp://rbi.ims.ca/3853-600
