Carlo Gavazzi has announced the enhancement to their popular  ICB Series Inductive Proximity Sensors, which are now certified for use in hazardous environments.

Certifications for use in hazardous environments:

By Division:  Class I, Div 2, Groups A, B, C, and D

• Class I:  Hazardous locations with presence of flammable gases or vapors.
• Division 2:  Hazardous atmospheres only present under fault conditions and only for very short periods of time.
• Group A, B, C, and D:  Groups of explosive gases (Acetylene, Hydrogen, Ethylene and Propane).

These sensors feature the same advanced microprocessor design and Innovative AirCore™ sensing coil, along with a robust potting process that allows users to install the sensor in heavy duty applications.

Marshall Wolf Automation, your full-line industrial automation distributor, is an authorized Carlo Gavazzi distributor.

If you need an inductive proximity sensor with Class I, Div 2 approval, think Carlo Gavazzi and Marshall Wolf Automation.

The FT1A SmartAXIS controllers are available in 12 , 24, 40, 48, I/O CPUs and 3.8" HMI+PLC 65K color TFT resistive or monochrome touchscreen. 

Why do I call this a 'genius' new product?

It is ideal for small machines that require an HMI. It's compact but has an abundance of features. The integrated 12 I/O PLC functions built into the 3.8" touchscreen utilize all the PLC's functions. You can do a lot more... for a lot less!
 

Ever wonder what ODP, TE and DIP mean in relation to motors? Okay, I'm sure you have been kept up nights wondering... you can now rest easy, here is what they mean!

ODP= Open Drip Proof Motors

As it states, this is an open type of motor that limited size openings to prevent contact with moving or hazardous parts. Internal parts of ODP motors are protected from drop, splash and falling objects. Best used in a relatively clean environment.

TE= Totally Enclosed Motors

You guessed it - these type of motors are... enclosed! These type of motors can be used in dusty, dirty and humid environments because the inside of the motor is protected.

There are further choices here:

• TENV - totally enclosed non-ventilated
• TEFC - totally enclosed fan-cooled 
• TEBC- totally enclosed blower-cooled

DIP= Dust Ignition Proof Motors for Hazardous Locations

You would use this type of motor in flammable, dusty environments.

This type of industrial electric motor is suitable for operation in a Class II hazardous environment.

This topic is new to me as I have not had much experience with DC link chokes. My recent time spent categorizing inventory has changed that!

Reactors for variable frequency drives are sold as either AC reactors or DC reactors. Guess what another name for DC reactors is? You guessed it... DC link chokes.

A reactors job is to smooth the current flow to the drive and reduce harmonics. The difference between an AC line reactor and DC link choke includes the following:

• AC reactors are in series with the incoming AC power line. DC link chokes are connected after the input diodes in the power circuit. 
• You can use both of these in an application and achieve 6% impedance.
• AC reactors are about 1.5 times the price of a DC link choke

Interested in finding out which (or both) would be best for your specific application? We have in-house engineers ready and waiting!
