NVIDIA announced a range of eight new NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPUs for next-generation laptops, desktops and servers that make it possible for professionals to work from wherever they choose, without sacrificing quality or time. Using the NVIDIA RTX GPUs, engineers can create groundbreaking products on any system. “Hybrid work is the new normal,” said Bob…

The ComfilePi CPi-A150WR is a Raspberry Pi-based industrial PC with a 15-in touch-panel display. Leveraging the compact, ubiquitous Raspberry Pi 3 board, the ComfilePi CPi-A150WRinherits the Raspberry Pi 3’s 1.2-GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor, a Broadcom VideoCore IV GPU, and 1GB of RAM. The new, larger version has the same capabilities as its predecessors…

As we explored in Part 1 and Part 2 of this six-part series, machine designs are evolving with wireless connectivity, cloud-based operations, and open programming. In this installment, we explore how Ethernet has continued its expansion in industrial connectivity. We also detail increasingly useful cable types for IO-Link and HIPERFACE … as well as cross-network […]

This family of fully integrated current sensor linear ICs in a core-less package senses ac and dc currents up to 100 A. ACS780/ACS781 are provided in an automotive-grade, low-profile (1.5 mm thick) sensor IC package. This package has a small footprint and delivers high power density for current sensing applications. The Hall sensor technology also…

by Chris Francis Electric motors are everywhere. For example, whereas in the past a car would have had only one electric motor – for starting – (and if you go back far enough, not even that), now they have dozens of them. They control windows, mirrors, ventilation flaps and engine functions. Even power steering is…
