If you want to monitor the utility usage in real-time and if you want to optimize the business utilities, you should make use of the energy monitoring system. It is the software that monitors the utility consumption online like the energy, fluids, gas, and so on. This system helps to calculate the consumption per area like the departments and production lines. It also helps in calculating the consumption per the production like the orders and the items that further helps in calculating the real production cost. With the help of the best type of energy monitoring tool, you can forecast the energy usage in several sectors and then create the alarm if it finds that the site has reached the contractual capacity.
The energy management system will furth ...
Manufactured parts need a quality surface finish and visual appeal before releasing them to the client or market. Although there are different methods of applying the surface finish, anodizing aluminum colors produce the best results.
There is a wide range of aluminum anodizing colors to choose from; therefore, product developers need to know how to color match before releasing the end product. Let’s examine more on anodizing aluminum parts, how to color anodized aluminum and the common anodized aluminum colors.
What is Aluminum Anodizing?
Anodizing is an electrolytic process that produces excellent mechanical properties to enhance aluminum parts' durability and visual appeal. Manufacturers use the anodiz ...
PWM stands for Pulse-Width Modulation. Once the switching frequency (fsw) has been chosen, the ratio between the switch-on time (TON) and the switch-off time (TOFF) is varied. This is commonly called duty-cycle (D). The duty cycle can be between 0 and 1 and is generally expressed as a percentage (%).
D = TON / (TON + TOFF) = TON x fsw
The variation of the pulse width, made at a high frequency (kHz), is perceived as continuous and can be translated into a variation of the rotation speed of a motor, dimming a LED, driving an encoder, driving power conversion, and etc. The use of PWM is also widely used in the automotive sector in electronic control units (ECU - Electronic Control Unit) to manage the energy to be supplied to some actuators, both fix ...
EEPROMs (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memories) allow the non-volatile storage of application data or the storage of small amounts of data in the event of a power failure. Using external memories that allow you to add storage capacity for all those applications that require data recording. We can choose many types of memories depending on the type of interface and their capacity.
EEPROMs are generally classified and identified based on the type of serial bus they use. The first two digits of the code identify the serial bus used:
Parallel: 28 (for example 28C512) much used in the past but now too large due to having many dedicated pins for parallel transmission
Serial I2C: 24 (for example 24LC256)
Serial SPI: 25 (for example 25AA080A)
Serial - Microwire: 93 (for ...
Hello friends, I hope everything's going well. Today, I am going to share the 13th chapter in the PCB learning series, where we will discuss the single-layer PCB in detail i.e. definition, construction, advantages, manufacturing, applications etc. So let’s try to absorb everything about the single-layer PCB:
Single-layer PCB overview:
Just a quick recall, PCB stands for a printed circuit board having different electrical components connected with the help of pads and tracks of copper foil, incorporated on an insulating material(substrate).
Single-layer PCBs have only one conductive layer of copper. The PCB board itself has a total of 3 layers in single-layer PCB other than the copper layer which are substrate, solder mask, and silkscreen.
In the past, phenolic aldehyde was us ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are in good health. Today we will discuss a detailed overview of flexible PCB, its definition, types, advantages and manufacturing. We will also discuss why we need flexible PCB? We will discuss its uses and the reason for its high price, as it's expensive than other PCB types. I will try to deliver you my best knowledge about flexible PCB so you will clear understanding of flexible PCB. So let’s try to absorb everything about flexible PCB.
Flexible PCB overview
For irregular-shaped locations, it was difficult to place hard substrate PCBs. So, as necessity is the mother of invention similarly difficult locations and irregular surfaces are the mother of flexible PCB invention.
Before the 1950s flexible PCBs are not in common use but now they are used ever ...
There's a flock of noise at the instant concerning the Internet of Things(IoT) and its impact on everything from the method we travel and do our looking to the method makers keep track of inventory. However, what's the web of Things? how will it work? And is it genuinely that important?
Introduction to Internet of things
What is the Internet of Things?
In short, this technology connects any device to the net and plenty of different devices. In easy terms, this can be a classy network of things connected with one another. This network collects and shares information and data.
The devices embody a variety of objects, like good microwaves, self-driving cars, wearable devices, and complicated sensors, to ...
Hello geeks, I hope you all are doing well and looking forward to making something new yet interesting. So, today we have come up with our new project which is a calculator using Arduino.
We all use calculators in our daily life, whether you are working in an office or counting money at the bank, you are buying your daily grocery or doing shopping online, you will find calculators in different forms everywhere. In fact, the computer was initially considered a giant calculator. So if it is that common, why do we not make our own calculator?
Before going into the details of the project, it is good to know some history of that, let’s know some facts about the calculator. So the first known device for calculation is Abacus. And the first digital calcu ...
Hello everyone and welcome to this article which will be a great introduction to high-speed PCB design. For sure it is going to be a very interesting class. Let me start by posing a question; Is this something that you have ever come across in your world of PCB design? Where you spent too much time doing the schematics, selecting the right components, doing the footprint addition, generating the netlists, doing the proper layout and routing and sending the end product of your design to the manufacturer? At this level you might probably be designing standard types of PCB boards and if someone was to introduce a project that talks about signal integrity, reflections or even crosstalk, very much believe you will feel like a lost person. It might be s ...
Hello readers, today we will learn about the messaging protocol supported by ESP32(called MQTT protocol), which is used for IoT applications. The communication protocol to be used for data transmission and connectivity in web-enabled devices depends upon the type of IoT application.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of interconnected computing devices like digital machines, automobiles with inbuilt sensors, having unique identifiers and the ability to communicate data over a network without the need for human intervention.
Before implementation, let's first have a look at what is MQTT Protocol?
What is MQTT?
MQTT stands for Message Queuing Telemetry Protocol and is a messaging or communication protocol used for IoT applications.
In MQ ...
