Mitsubishi helps breath new life into important canal routes
Submitted by nestorb on Wed, 2006-11-01 13:18. Using a Mitsubishi AnS PLC system allowed British Waterways Scotland to develop a system that could accurately raise and lower the water levels in the lock, with depths accurate to within millimetres. This creates a smooth operating system using minimum energy at optimum speed. The requirement was to have a 1.8m depth in the new navigable canal sections, and at least a 6m deep working environment for the boats in the locks.
New Low Voltage LVDT Signal Conditioner Designed for Use in PLCs and Vehicular Testing Systems
Submitted by nestorb on Wed, 2006-09-27 22:03. For multiple channel applications, several LVC-2500 modules can be connected together in a master/slave mode to synchronize their excitation oscillator frequency. This eliminates the effects of spurious beat frequency signals, cross talk, and intermodulation effects...
