Data Translation, Inc., an industry leader in data acquisition, today announced the release of the DT9839 low-cost USB-powered module for sound and vibration measurements.

The DT9839 features a four-channel, 16-bit Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a nominal input range of ±2.5 V, and sampling rates up to 52.7 kHz per channel. Applications that require accelerometer, vibration, noise, or sonar measurements often use IEPE sensors. IEPE conditioning is built-in to the analog circuitry of the DT9839, providing an excitation current source and AC or DC coupling.

The Siemens Industry Automation Division has expanded its portfolio for RNA (Redundant Network Access) components with a communications processor which facilitates high-availability connection of the Simatic S7-400 controller to networks. Simatic CP 443-1 RNA utilizes the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) in accordance with the IEC 62439-3 standard. The communications processor features two RJ45 ports for connecting two parallel Industrial Ethernet networks. The CP 443-1 RNA doubles the frame and feeds it into the two connected networks. The network access point on the receiver side relays the first incoming frame to the addressees and discards the later frame.

Simatic CP 443-1 RNA is designed among other things for use in process industry plants and power generation and distribution applications. The new communications processor supports open communication via TCP/IP, UDP and the ISO transport protocol as well as S7, PG/OP and S7 H communication for S7-400 H systems. Data can be transmitted in full or half-duplex mode in bandwidths of 10 or 100 Mbit/s. The user can view diagnostics information via SNMP, STEP 7 or the Web server of the communications processor.

The Siemens Drive Technologies Division will be presenting the "Integrated Drive System" (IDS) at Hannover Messe 2013, a whole new dimension in solutions for drive tasks: IDS integrates the Division's uniquely complete product portfolio. IDS thus provides full and reliable integration of the drive train with different focuses for almost all industries. IDS covers all relevant drive technology performance classes and provides customers with a high level of productivity, efficiency, and reliability.

Ralf-Michael Franke, CEO of Drive Technologies Division: "With the Integrated Drive System, we are writing a new chapter in the success story of drive systems from Siemens. We are providing our customers with a comprehensive range of possibilities for optimum use of the most all-embracing product portfolio for electric drives, which we have been innovating continuously for more than 160 years."

n technological terms, the IDS concept is based on three-fold integration: Horizontal integration already optimally attunes the components required for the drive train to each other and for their intended task in the factory. This is done by drawing on the vast Siemens portfolio of gear units, couplings, motors, and converters, which can be combined to optimize dimensioning for the task at hand. For example, the fully integrated Simogear range of geared motors, with its compact design that is suitable for nearly all applications. But IDS also pays in the highest performance classes. At Hannover Messe, Siemens will be showing a complex drive train for vertical mills in the cement industry. Use of ideal combinations of Sinamics converters, Flender couplings, and Simotics motors achieves a very high level of productivity, energy efficiency, and reliability during operation.
