Product Design and Development

Unique Sound Module
EAO (Milford, CT) has developed a unique, configurable sound mod-
ule to alert people for potentially dangerous situations. The new 56
Multi-Tone Sound Module (MTSM) detects background noise and
adapts its volume to be a pre-defined number of decibels above ambi-
ent noise levels (+ 2 or + 8 dB, others on request). The self-adjusting
Series MTSM features:
■ A choice of 6 pre-configured tone sequences that can be set to play
at different intervals, durations, and repeats.

■ A set of pre-configured TSI PRM compliant sounds.

■ An outside diameter of 43 mm (mounting dependent).

Hazardous Location
Relay Module

Via internal system voltage, WAGO’s

(Germantown, WI) new 2-Channel Relay Output Module directly activates Intrinsically Safe circuits, powering actuators in hazardous locations. This relay module supports diverse hazardous location applications and features:

■ 2 changeover contacts for activating
Zone 0/20 and 1/21 devices.

■ A switching voltage/current of 125

VAC/0.5 A and 30 VDC/1 A.

■ Normal Open (NO) contacts that are
electrically isolated.
■ On-board LEDs that indicate relay
switching status.

TE Connectivity (Harrisburg, PA) has announced a line of 16 Gb/s Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) connectors for the data communications industry.

Features include:

■ Enhanced side walls,
vertical separators, and latch plate areas
to create an airflow channel throughout
the cage body.
■ Reduced EMI to about 10 to 12 dBm
( 10 the 15 GHz range).
■ A gasket retention plate that has been reconfigured into a right
angle design with multiple attachment points.

Flexibility in Measurment

Omega’s (Stamford, CT) new CNi-AL series offers flexibility in process measurement and limit alarm applications. CNi-AL can be used to monitor the temperature of a plastics extruder, and with the programmable limit alarm setpoints, the controller can provide a visual display color change and a latching limit alarm output to shut down if an alarm condition exists. Features include:

■ AC or DC powered units.

■ Front removable plug connectors.

■ A programmable digital filter.

■ A high/low limit.

■ Remote reset input.

■ Programmable color
displays.

■ Built-in excitation.

■ 2 relay alarm outputs.
