* Sealevel Sstems Inc. link
MasTec has been
working with Sealevel for many years.
Sealevel is a
suberb company, with a very long history in the industry, having
built the first RS-485 card for the IBM PC when it was released.
MasTec ships
thousands of various Sealevel DAQ and Comms products.each year.
The failure rate
of product supplied at this level of supply, is close to zero
each year.
This means we
recommend Sealevel highly, as a quality product builder.
Below are some
products just released over the last few months. As you will
see Sealevel is broad based,not just comm products, but HMI,
Industrial Computers, I/O and Super Tough RISC Flash PAC both
panel and embedded.
These New PACs
can be Linux or CE powered and offer all the advantages of a
PC platform , mixed with a Flash boot, fast recovery and tough
with no moving part PACs for exacting industrial use. -broad
temperature range also.
Sealevel is a well known name for Comms, DAQ
and PAC Products - MasTec has sold them since 2002

The SeaPAC
R9-8.4
combines a powerful RISC-based Human-Machine Interface (HMI)
with a bright 8.4” TFT LCD to create a wide-temperature,
ruggedized, flat panel computer perfect for a variety of control
and HMI applications. Featuring an industrial, LED backlight
that gives the panel extended life over CCFT-backlit panels, the system offers an
amazing -30° to +70°C operating temperature range with
no heaters or cooling fans required.
Powered by a 200 MIPS ARM9 micro, the system is available with
up to 256MB RAM (128MB standard) and 256MB Flash memory for maximum
performance in embedded systems. Standard I/O includes Ethernet,
serial, USB, CAN Bus, and digital interfaces. For intuitive operator
input, the system includes a resistive touchscreen perfect for
a wide variety of industrial environments and uses. The SeaPAC
R9-8.4 is intended for panel mount applications and provides
an aluminum front bezel that maintains NEMA 4/IP65 protection
from sprayed liquids.
Local or remote I/O expansion is available using Sealevel SeaI/O
modules. Choose from a variety of I/O configurations including
optically isolated inputs, Reed and Form C relay outputs, TTL
interfaces, A/D, and D/A. The SeaPAC R9-8.4 connects to SeaI/O
modules via the system's RS-485 expansion port and communicates
using Modbus RTU.
To provide the fastest time to market, the Windows CE 6.0 BSP
binary and low-level drivers for system I/O are included. Additionally,
the SeaPAC R9 software package is equipped with the Sealevel
Talos I/O framework, which offers a high-level object-oriented
.NET Compact Framework (CF) device interface. This interface
provides an I/O point abstraction layer with built-in support
for easily interfacing the system’s I/O. Linux support is
also available.

The Sealevel 2107
provides a single port USB to RS-485 asynchronous serial port
and versatile interface for common RS-485 applications. The adapter
utilizes Sealevel's expertise in military-grade designs by incorporating
a ruggedized, overmolded enclosure. This improves the reliability
and durability in automation, factory floor, industrial and mobile
RS-485 applications.
The 2107 supports 2-wire RS-485 networks and includes a removable
terminal block adapter (Item# TB34) that simplifies field wiring.
Thumbscrews on the TB34 secure the terminal block adapter to
the serial port and prevent accidental disconnection.
The USB serial adapter features programmable baud rate and data
formats with 128-byte transmit and 384-byte receive buffers.
The adapter is compatible with all standard PC baud rates and
supports high-speed communication to 921.6K bps. The 2107 is
powered by the USB port and status LEDs molded into the enclosure
indicate serial data activity and connection to the host.
Sealevel SeaCOM USB software drivers and utilities make installation
and operation easy using Microsoft Windows and Linux operating
systems. After installing the software, simply plug the 2107
into an available USB port and the serial port is recognized
as a standard COM port by the host system enabling compatibility
with legacy software.
The attached cable is approximately 44 inches long and fully
shielded to protect the 2107 from RF and EMI interference that
is common in mobile and industrial environments. The 2107 operates
over an extended temperature range of -40 - +75C.
Do you know that adapter design can impact your application?
Find out how in this USB Serial performance report.
The 2107 has a DB-9M connector and includes a removable terminal
block. If you need a DB-25M connector, order the 2102.

Company Focus for this month
Just a little
reading on this new fiber optic absolute position sensor and
more
In 2004, Micronor
introduced the ZapFREE® MR310 series - the world’s first
Incremental Fiber Optic Rotary Sensor. Customers kept asking
for a complementary absolute encoder. The innovative R&D
team accepted the challenge and spent the past five years researching
new technologies and developed the MR330 ZapFree(tm) Fiber Optic
Absolute Position Sensor.
MasTec now announces
the availability of the world's first absolute fiber optic position
sensor (FOPS)! All the advantages of fiber optics combined with
a new and innovated optical design (patent pending). The MR330
ZapFREE(tm) Fiber Optic Absolute Position Sensor sets a performance
standard that exceeds resolvers, RVDTs and most conventional
electronic encoders:
• Absolute
angular measurement from 0° to 360° + Multi-turn tracking
• High resolution:
13-bit (8192 counts)
• Multi-turn
tracking to 12-bits (4096 turns)
• Immunity
to EMI, RFI, lightning and ground loops
• Interference-free
sensor transmission exceeding 300 meters
• Passive
sensor meets ATEX requirements for use in hazardous locations
• Multiple
built-in Interfaces available: SSI, USB, Serial, Modbus, analog
and digital set points

For T&M engineers some T&M
products
The Array 3721A & 3720A DC
Electronic Loads, are the new e-loads and have excellent performance
annunced recently
The Array 3631A triple output
power supply is very close to Agilent E3631A
*Note Array supply as an OEM
for Berkeley
Nuclear Corp and Tek
Power
The Array M3500A 6 1/2 DMM is
similar with Agilent 34401A.
The Array 3400A ARB Generator is close to Agilent 33220A.
The Array U6200A Universal counter is close to Agilent 53132.
However, Pricing is remarkable
different.
If you need a
quotation on Array T&M products email
