Cincoze All-New Wide-Angle FHD Sunlight-Readable Display Modules
15 Dec 2021
Rugged embedded computer brand Cincoze announces the launch of three new 16:9 widescreen sunlight-readable display modules
in 15”, 21”, and 24” to extend the CRYSTAL product line of industrial
PCs and monitors. The 16:9 widescreen sunlight-readable display modules
boast vivid colors, high brightness, responsive touch, and
industrial-grade rugged design. The modules are ideal for IoT and smart
cities, and they are the first choice for HMI applications such as
vehicle charging piles, outdoor kiosks, and self-service platforms.
During this last two weeks ICPDAS have released several new products/product series. Here is a quick summary:
iNS-306 – 6-port 10/100 Mbps PoE(PSE) IoT Switch
Introduction:
iNS-306 is a new series of switches that combines PoE power supply and power management. It provides a simple and friendly UI, the user can manage the power supply status of the PoE device through the web page remotely.It also supports the power scheduling function so that the device will automatically turn off the power when it is not needed in order to achieve the purpose of energy saving.
ET-2217CI – Ethernet I/O Module with 2-port Ethernet Switch, 8-channel Analog Inputs with Channel-to-Channel Isolation
Introduction:
The ET-2217CI is a channel-to-channel isolated analog input module that includes 8 analog input channels. The module provides a programmable input range on all Analog Input channels (±1 V, ±2.5 V, ±5 V, ±10 V, 0 to 20mA, 4 to 20mA and ±20 mA). Each analog input channel can be configured for an individual input range, providing a high overvoltage protection of 120 Vdc and 50mA overcurrent protection at 110 VDC/VAC. Voltage and current input is software configurable. The sampling rate of the ET-2217CI is adjustable and can be set to either fast(200Hz) or normal(10Hz) mode.M-6088-32 – 32-channel PWM Output Module
Introduction:
The M-6088-32 provides 32-channel PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Output. It can be used to develop powerful and cost-effective analog control systems. PWM is a powerful technique for controlling analog circuits that uses the digital output to generate a waveform with a variable duty cycle and frequency which can then be used to control an analog circuit in applications such as controlling the position, the speed of motors, the brightness of lamps, or the speed of fans, etc.Either burst mode or continuous mode can be used for the PWM output depending on the application. It supports both the Modbus RTU and the DCON protocols. The External Power allows the load voltage to be increased from +5 to +40 V for the 32-channels PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output.
CA-LLD-DC100X-Lxxx, CA-LLD-DC100X-TR, accessories for liquid leakage modules (iSN-101/104)
The new detection cable has snap-in connectors at both ends, and multiple detection lines can be connected in series to extend the distance. The signal leader cable plus all the detection cables can reach a maximum of 500 meters.
Three phase power meters - PM-3133-100P-MTCP, PM-3133-160P-MTCP, PM-3133-240P-MTCP
ICP DAS brings the most powerful, cost-effective, advanced Smart Power
Meters PM-3133-MTCP series that gives you access to real-time electric
usage for three-phase power measurement. With its high accuracy
(<0.5%, PF=1 ), the PM-3133-MTCP series can be applied to both low
voltage primary side and/ or medium/high voltage secondary side. The
users can obtain reliable and accurate energy consumption readings from
the monitored equipment in real time. These compact size and
cost-effective power meters are equipped with wired clip-on CT. It
operates over a wide input voltages range 10 to 500 VAC which allows
worldwide compatibility. And with 2 channels relay outputs, it can be
linked with sirens or lightings for alarm messages. It also supports
Modbus TCP protocols for easy integration.
