Created for environments needing frequent scene
changes, MOTOLUX motorised fixtures will quickly and
easily re-configure a space to meet the demanding
requirements of end users. Eliminating the need for
ladders and scissor lifts, the MOTOLUX range of track,
pendant and recessed fixtures can pan and tilt, dim, dim
to warm and change colour temperature on command.
They can be controlled individually or in groups with no
special equipment, giving users a level of control and
time savings that translate to cost savings.
60 mm thyristor modules from Infineon
Technologies Bipolar combine right fit
functionality with proven reliability
Infineon Technologies Bipolar GmbH & Co. KG has
redesigned the product portfolio of 60 mm thyristor/
diode modules with pressure contact technology. The
new Eco Block family addresses the demand for cost-
efficient larger modules for battery chargers, static
and bypass switches and windmills. Additionally, the
modules are a perfect fit for soft starters as well as
rectifiers for drives and uninterruptable power-supply
(UPS). Due to its higher junction temperature, they are
aiming at applications with air-cooled designs.
The Eco Block modules feature all essential functions
and make use of the pressure contact technology
while stripping down costly extras. They provide best-
in-class thyristor and diode blocking stability leading
to high reliability and an outstanding lifetime. The
pressure contact technology guarantees a short-on-fail
feature, which in return prevents arcing. This allows for
simplified safety designs in terms of unit shielding and
fusing effort. Infineon Technologies Bipolar offer the
new 60 mm modules with a high overload capability.
Combined, these features help to minimize failure rates
and reduce system cost. With its proven reliability and
functionality, the Eco Block offers the best value for
money for a 60 mm pressure contact module in the
market.
Availability
The new 60 mm Eco Block family with pressure contact
technology is available in high quantities. All modules
are offered in the topologies thyristor/thyristor and
thyristor/diode with a blocking voltage of 1600 V or 2200
V and in current ratings from 420 A to 630 A. Additional
module types in 70 mm are planned for release in the
course of 2019. For an optimized performance and
keeping customer´s production fast and clean, the next
portfolio extension will be pre-applied Thermal Interface
Material (TIM). More information about Infineon’s Eco
Block family is available at
First Network Interface for Car2x/V2X
Communication
Vector is presenting the VN4610 network interface – its
first special solution for IEEE-802.11p and CAN-(FD)
based applications. As an interface to the CANoe.Car2x
test tool, the interface advances 802.11p-based ECUs
to production readiness quickly.
The VN4610 is a network interface with a USB interface
for accessing IEEE-802.11p and CAN-(FD) networks.
Users benefit from the ease of receiving and sending
IEEE-802.11p messages in implementing their Car2x-/
V2X applications. The received IEEE-802.11p messages
are transferred to the application time-synchronous to
the CAN-(FD) messages. The built-in GNSS receiver
provides the GNSS time and the current GNSS position.
The VN4610 satisfies all technical hardware
requirements for safely testing DSRC applications over
IEEE-802.11p radio channels. It routes all received
messages from the two radio channels, unfiltered,
to a test tool such as CANoe.Car2x for analysis. The
