Texas Instruments (TI) announced the industry first flexible high frequency 13.56 MHz sensor transponder family using NFC Technology. The highly integrated ultra-low-power RF430FRL15xH system-on-chip (SoC) family combines an ISO 15693-compliant Near Field Communication (NFC) interface with a programmable micro controller Read more…
Remote Shutdown System (RSDS) can shut down wells or other assets remotely with the fail-safe logic necessary for wireless operation of critical systems. In challenging environments, such as oil fields, equipment often needs to be shut down remotely. For instance, Read more…
Nowadays, up to 30 percent of all traffic is produced by drivers looking for a parking space. On average, drivers travel around 4.5 kilometers to make such a search. Siemens, worlds leading automation company, is researching the use of sensor Read more…
Siemens introduces Simatic S7-1511C and S7-1512C controllers that combine CPU including front display with inputs and outputs in one enclosure. The Simatic S7-1511C with 32 digital IO ports is 85 millimeters wide and Simatic S7-1512C with 64 digital IO connections Read more…
An intelligent diagnostic system from Siemens can monitor the condition of mechanical equipment just by analyzing the noises it makes. The system s sensors listen to machine noises in the same way that a doctor listens to a patient s Read more…
Since the brighter the sunlight, the more voltage the solar cells produce, the excessive voltage could damage the batteries. A charge controller is used to maintain the proper charging voltage on the batteries. As the input voltage from the solar Read more…
The MultiHop Ethernet Data Radio system provides extremely reliable communication in large plants, over long distances, or through difficult terrain. A network can easily cover many square miles and has a raw bit rate of 300Kbps. Master, Repeater, and Slave Read more…
New sensor combinations are emerging in the sensor market as combining those cuts the overall costs of the sensors. Putting several sensors on a package, such as accelerators and gyroscopes is becoming more commonplace. Miniaturization is an interesting trend. Miniaturization Read more…
As well as the power that is used in equipment (heating, lighting, driving motors), known as real power, a site may also draw power which is not directly used, known as reactive power. The combination of two is known as Read more…
