NEW PRODUCTS ates from an 85 VAC to 300 VAC single-phase power source. The output power rating is 18 A. Motor speed can be based on an analog control signal (4 to 20 mA, 2 to 10 VDC) or by temperature levels that are monitored by up to three remote sensors. It is available in open frame or with a steel cover. For more information, email: sales@controlres.com Zilog The Encore! 32 Series microcontroller is based on the ARM9 processor family. It is a high-performance 32-bit Reduced Instruction Set Computing SoC solution that incorporates functionality for an integrated memory controller and interfaces such as USB, LCD, and Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The company has developed its own Encore! 32 toolkit featuring a full board support package with source and sample code, and a fully ported Linux environment that can be used for testing and preliminary software development. The microcontroller can also be supported by Keil Software Development Tools.

The company says it is the first unfilled PBT that has tested positively according to the glow-wire flammability index (GWFI) and glow-wire ignition test (GWIT) on end products. It has been VDE approved to ISO 60335-1. It uses a flame retardant system that is free of halogen and red phosphorus, and has a better dimensional stability compared to other moisture absorbing materials, the company says.

The 2008 version features a pictorial menu in which engineers can view and select the mechanical, thermal, electrical, or barrier application that they wish to study. Numerous variables can be chosen. The software plots graphs that show the best material to use for the particular application. A new feature is the Eco Audit Tool, which helps evaluate the environmental impact throughout a product’s lifecycle. New specialist data are also available for medical and food contact applications as well as for plastics.
