Defining the Problem:
A proper method is needed to measure each cell voltage within a series of cells and withstand high nominal or open circuit
voltages. The maximum series voltage is greater than the common-mode range of the connected instruments. This requires
isolated floating inputs to measure each cell voltage. Channel-to-channel isolation will extend the common-mode range to the
maximum input/output isolation rating. Typical applications include cascaded solar cells, fuel cells and batteries.
System Requirements:
The Acromag microBloxTM products have a maximum continuous input/output isolation voltage of 350V DC. This would be the limit for the maximum series voltage of the cascaded cells. Each cell voltage can be elevated anywhere within the 0 – 350V DC window. Use shielded wiring and minimise the distance between the cells and the microBlox. This will reduce the chances of developing electrical noise and improve measurement accuracy
Implementing the Solution:
1. The Bluetooth enabled uB41-B model supports input ranges from ±1 up to
±60V DC with 1KHz bandwidth.
2. Configure each module using the Acromag Agility mobile application for an
Android or iOS device.
3. Follow the proper wiring practices as detailed in the user manual. Connect earth
ground to the minus lead of the first cell in the series (lowest voltage).
4. Test the system connections using the built-in Polling feature in the mobile app.
The app will show a digital reading or display a Trending Graph.
Featured Products:
microBlox,
AgilityTM Mobile App for communicating with
Android or iOS devices via Bluetooth.
Why Acromag:
The microBlox have CE marking and ATEX, UL, cUL ratings for Class 1 Div 2 hazardous locations. With an
over-molded housing, channel-to-channel isolation, wide operating temperature (–40 °C to 80 °C), 4g vibration
and 25g shock, the microBlox can be mounted in the most severe installations.

Application Note: How to reduce PLC costs with signal conditioners
Defining the Problem:
A small scale bottling operation will be controlled by PLCs. Multiple sensors including conveyor speed (frequency), bearings temperature (RTD), liquid level (4–20mA) and tank pressure (4–20mA) will connect to the PLCs. An affordable solution to convert these various signals to one common signal type will allow procurement of one type of PLC input card instead of multiple cards for many different signals. Also, inserting low cost front-end devices will add extra protection against transients for the higher cost PLC hardware.
System Requirements:
MicroBloxTM are available in 4, 8 or 16 channel boards and include a wide variety of inputs for voltage, current, thermocouple, RTD, frequency and high-speed operation. Each input type has many fixed ranges to select from, no programming or configuration is necessary. These backpanels can be mounted on a DIN-rail or backpanel.
Implementing the Solution:
1. Select the microBlox fixed range model for each type of input. All models should have the same output, for example 0 to 5V.
2. Apply either 24V or 5V DC power to the back panel. MicroBlox modules are hot swappable and can be inserted or removed with power applied.
3. Follow the proper wiring practices as detailed in the user manual.
4. Validate the I/O before connection to the PLC input card.
Featured Products: microBlox, uB45, uB34 and uB32

XPedite5850 NXP QorIQ T4240 COM Express Mezzanine module now available from X-ES
Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES) is excited to announce the XPedite5850, a ruggedised COM Express® module supporting an enhanced Type 5-based pinout and NXP® (formerly Freescale) QorIQ® T4 processors.
Big Processing Power on a Small Form Factor
Available in both conduction- and air-cooled configurations, the XPedite5850 features the NXP QorIQ T4240 processor with twelve dual-threaded Power Architecture® e6500 cores and includes up to 16 GB of DDR3-1866 ECC SDRAM. All of this power is efficiently packaged into a COM Express® Basic form factor (95 mm x 125 mm), making the XPedite5850 a perfect blend of performance and efficiency for today’s embedded computing applications.
NXP QorIQ T-Series processors offer a broad range of solutions from single- to dual-core and multicore devices, featuring up to 24 virtual cores. The T-Series improves on the proven NXP P-Series 45 nm process technology, scaling down to just 28 nm. Feature size reduction and improved power management techniques allow for a power reduction of up to 50%. The T-Series also introduces the e6500 core, a multithreaded 64-bit Power Architecture® core operating at up to 1.8 GHz with an integrated NXP AltiVec SIMD engine to provide DSP-level Floating-Point performance.
The XPedite5850 hosts a large number of I/O ports, making it extremely versatile. The module includes up to four Ethernet ports PHYs (two 10/100/1000BASE-T and two 10GBASE-T Ethernet PHYs), eight SerDes Gigabit Ethernet ports, two XFI 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, a single x8 PCIe port, a single x4 PCIe port, two SATA ports capable of 3 Gb/s, two USB 2.0 ports, two I²C ports, two serial ports, a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) with two chip selects, and IEEE 1588 support.
Highly Customised Serial Interfaces
The XPedite5850’s SerDes routing provides simultaneous access to a large number of these signals, connecting nearly all of the SerDes signals directly from the backplane to the processor to allow for many options.
The T4240 processor has 14 PCIe lanes (available in multiple configurations) and two SATA interfaces to the COM Express connector. Some of these lanes also can be converted to SRIO or Interlaken interfaces, depending on the customer’s needs. For networking applications, the T4240 SerDes lanes feature eight SGMII/1000BASE-X interfaces and two XFI interfaces to the connector.
X-ES can implement various other connectivity modes too, making the XPedite5850 an extremely versatile module that is well-suited to a variety of tasks.
A High-Performance, Feature-Rich Solution.
The XPedite5850 provides a high-performance, feature-rich solution for current and future generations of embedded applications. For customers seeking lower overall power consumption, the XPedite5850 can be designed alternatively with the NXP QorIQ T4160 or T4080 processors.
X-ES is committed to supporting the NXP QorIQ T-Series family of processors across a variety of form factors, including the 3U VPX XPedite5970, 6U VME XCalibur1931 and XCalibur1930, 6U cPCI XCalibur1900, 6U VPX XCalibur1840, and the XMC/PMC XPedite6101 and XPedite6100 modules.

Jim on Engineering: Episode 71 - MIL-STD-810 Humidity
Jim on
Engineering, Episode 71: Jim Shaw, Crystal Group’s EVP of Engineering describes
the testing process and procedures for MIL-STD-810 Test Method 507.5 Humidity. This method applies to material that is likely
to be stored or deployed in a warm, humid environment, an environment in which
high levels of humidity occur, or to provide an indication of potential
problems associated with humidity. While we think that Iowa has high humidity levels, check out what Crystal
Group’s test chamber can perform in creating humid conditions especially to
Jim’s eye glasses in this demonstration.
