NEW FOR 2011 FROM OSRAM

77www.rsgreece.com www.rsincyprus.com www.rsinlibya.com www.rsmalta.com May 2011

RS offer an extensive range of OSRAM’s Opto Semiconductors’ LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes).

The LED’s are available in different performance classes such as standard, mid and high power packages, in various brightness levels and package sizes and in the complete colour range including all shades of white, RGB, and colour on demand. Here is a selection of the new ranges available at RS, please refer to our website for the full product range.

LED lighting is now taking centre stage

Solid state lighting is now largely indistinguishable from other forms of lighting, is much more energy efficient than incandescent or halogen and more controllable and robust than fluorescent.

Growing demand for the technology has lead to the introduction of a wealth of solutions and support products RS is at the forefront, offering the latest technologies, from stock, across the world.

LED lighting can now be used as effectively in large areas, as in more intimate settings. For example, recently

Osram supplied the critical components in the refurbishment of a large indoor area in one of the UK’s largest shopping malls. The ceiling of the Orient in the Trafford Centre, Manchester, is now illuminated by Osram’s High Power Flood luminaires. It depicts a skyscape; white clouds painted on a large expanse, the colour of which is able to change from a bright vivid blue to a dusky red, reflecting the sky outside depending on the time of day. The technology used in the Trafford Centre replaced an older solution based on filters and 700W incandescent bulbs. Replacing the old technology with new LED lighting returned a massive 90% energy saving, as well as a large reduction in maintenance costs. By way of example, when the LED lighting is set to blue the energy consumed is 1.5kW as opposed to 18.2kW for the old technology.

The possible energy savings are, of course, a major influence when considering LED lighting, but the reliability and flexibility of the technology shouldn’t

be overlooked, either. Together, these three factors represent the main reason why LED lighting is becoming so popular. Typically LEDs offer many more

operational hours than the equivalent incandescent or fluorescent solution, however the actual lifetime of the LED may be influenced more by the system design than may be expected.

Fibre-OpticChoices for Today’s Energy Challenges

Rising fuel prices, increasing use of green energy, and demands for greater safety

and comfort are key factors challenging engineers to optimise management of

motors and generators in applications such as railway engines and wind turbines.

monitoring equipment, and longer-

range connections to the wind farm’s

control centre.

For power conversion, producing

clean grid-quality electricity from

the noisy, intermittent raw generator

output, control signals for key

functional blocks such as the rectifier

and inverter are usually managed by

a DSP-embedded controller via a

fibre-optic link. This maintains

efficient and reliable control with

high galvanic isolation.

Condition monitoring is also

important, using atmospheric sensors

to detect wind speed and direction

as well as various additional sensors

monitoring the turbine’s mechanical

components to avoid run-to-failure.

The monitoring system must provide

high voltage and current isolation

to be able to operate reliably during

atmospheric disturbances such

as lightning. Here, optical fibre is

preferred for its high voltage and

current isolation compared to

optocouplers or similar components.

In the nacelle of the wind turbine,

short-distance fibre-optic links can

utilise Plastic Optical Fibre (POF) with

optical transmitters and receivers

such as Avago Technologies’ HFBR-

0500Z. Snap-in, latching, and screw-in

terminations are available, permitting

fast and efficient installation,

maintenance or repair in the field.

Where higher levels of ESD and EMI

protection are required, Avago’s

HFBR-0506AMZ series with metallised

packaging provides enhanced

shielding. The SMA-styled connector

also withstands vibration and

mechanical shocks.

For networking applications in wind

farms, the short-distance POF links

are typically multiplexed into Hard-

Clad Silica (HCS) or multi-mode fibre

supporting greater bandwidth and link

distances. If the turbine tower is more

than 100m tall, using optical fibre as

the vertical interconnect also delivers

a valuable weight saving compared

to copper cabling. Transmitters and

receivers such as the Avago HF BR-

0400Z series operate over HCS or

multi-mode fibre and are commonly

used in wind turbine towers and over

long distance wind farm networks.

Managing Mass TransportationPOF, HCS or multi-mode fibre data

links are also used in the rail industry,

to control power semiconductors

such as IGBTs used in the converters

feeding electrical traction motors and

the train’s electrical system .

These links are also used to manage

communication with safety and

comfort subsystems such as braking,

door control, air conditioning,

passenger information and lighting.

Fibre is also used for sending and

receiving monitoring signals for

voltage and current protection at DC

links and converters.

Communication between the train’s

central computer and the braking,

door control and comfort subsystems

typically uses the international

IEC 61375 Train Communication

Network (TCN) standard. In general,

the TCN defines a Wire Train Bus

(WTB) for connecting vehicles, and

a Multifunction Vehicles Bus (MVB)

to connect equipment in a vehicle

or group of vehicles. MVB specifies

three media types, including RS-

485, transformer-coupled twisted

wire pairs, and optical fibre. Optical

fibre is often preferred for its high

immunity to the electrical noise in the

locomotive environment.

When MVB is implemented with

optical fibre, a star coupler is used

to restore the signal quality for

connecting up to 4095 devices in

one bus. The Avago HFBR-1412Z

transmitter and HFBR-2412Z receiver

can easily handle the fixed MVB data

rate of 1.5 Mbps.

ConclusionAs demand increases for precision

management of power-conversion,

control and safety systems, optical

connectivity is preferred in unfriendly

industrial environments where high

signal integrity and ruggedness

are critical.

Avago Technologies has developed

several families of fibre-optic

transmitters, receivers, and

transceivers for monitoring

systems and networking

applications in numerous power

generation, transportation and

industrial applications.

“ Optical fibre provides an ideal medium for reliable data links, delivering the benefits of high galvanic isolation from high-voltage circuitry, immunity to EMI and ESD, and long transmission range. ”

By Mike Caddy, RS Components

Sophisticated data acquisition and

control electronics must communicate

reliably; often over long distances and

amid hazards such as high voltages,

high levels of electromagnetic

interference (EMI) and harsh

electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Optical fibre provides an ideal

medium for reliable data links,

delivering the benefits of high

galvanic isolation from high-voltage

circuitry, immunity to EMI and

ESD, and long transmission range.

This article reviews two specific

applications: in wind turbines and in

the rail industry, to demonstrate the

general point.

Maximising Wind Power QualityIn a wind turbine, industrial fibre

products covering a wide range

of data rates and link lengths are

used within the turbine-control unit,

The Route to Production: Phase 1Most new electronics products start with an idea followed by a

quick ‘lash-up’ at the bench to test the feasibility. The plug-in type

of prototyping board is most often used at this stage to avoid the

necessity of soldering or making PCBs. When a microcontroller

forms the heart of such a system, there is the difficulty that the

more complex types such as ARM-cored devices are only available

in surface-mount formats. DIP-modules suitable for plugging into

a breadboard have been available for some time for PICs and the

Propeller and these are now joined by the ARM mbed. Here is the

basis for that quick ‘lash-up’: no robust interfaces but sufficient

hardware to assess the suitability of the processor for the task.

Usually this means: is it fast enough for my real-time processing

application? The mbed is perfect for this stage of development.

The Route to Production: Phase 2Having established the viability of the initial idea we move on to

the support hardware such as anti-aliasing filters for ADC channels,

buffering and protection for I/O channels such as

Ethernet, USB and CAN. The breadboard

is looking rather crowded and messy now

with possible noise problems on long trailing

wires. This is where EDP comes in, providing

all these filters, buffers and connectors in one

small modular system. The mbed module is

simply plugged into an EDP adapter or carrier

to make it compatible with the baseboard. A few

jumper connections may have to be made to suit the project with

some minor changes to your mbed program. Otherwise, that’s it

and further software development can take place ‘in the cloud’ as

before. I needed access to an I2C bus for the ultrasonic rangefinder

By Dr William Marshall, RS Components

The RS Embedded Development Platform offers an alternative path to the engineering prototype stage of a project allowing quick and easy changes of processor at the time of initial design or for upgrades in the future.

Program/debug dongle 703-9241

and this was easily achieved from the I/O ‘breakout’ headers on

the EDP baseboard. An MC1 motor control module provides an

interface to the brush DC motor and the recommended EDP power

supply copes with the motor current, although a heavier PSU can

be connected directly to the MC1 if necessary.

The Route to Production: Phase 3At some point the limitations of the mbed development system

will become apparent. The most obvious limitation is the lack of

debugging tools, and perhaps by now the realisation that revealing

all your code to competitors via the web may not be advantageous

to your company! The next step is to replace the mbed and its

carrier with the LPC1768 EDP module. The new unit has a number

of jumper options that need to be made depending upon the

peripheral application boards present. A micro-SD card socket is

provided along with a programming header for the Keil μVision

4 IDE. If you already have the Keil system with its μLink debug

‘dongle’ then you can get started straight away, otherwise you will

need to purchase a dongle from RS separately. Fortunately it can

be used with all the EDP ARM-based boards. A free code-limited

version of μVision can be downloaded from the Keil website.

Listing 1. is the EDP version of our object avoidance program.

Compare it with the mbed program listing in eTech 4. The main

difference, apart from the different names for the peripheral

driver routines, is the C++ object-oriented structure of the mbed

program relative to the plain C code of the EDP. The

mbed program was shorter because all the driver

files were called by one single ‘Include’ statement: mbed.h. The

initialisation steps were also hidden from the user. You can see that

translation from mbed to EDP is not going to be a difficult job once

you are familiar with the sophisticated new IDE with all its project

management and debug facilities. Note however that the COM

port functions such as ‘printf’ now work through the RS-232 channel

via an EDP Basic Communications module. The latter also provides

USB, CAN, RS-485, RS-232 buffering, protection and connections.

Ethernet is available on a baseboard connector.

ProductionFinally, if the finished design is for a low-volume specialist application

not justifying a custom PCB, then why not just supply the customer

with an EDP-based solution? The boards are robust and mounting

holes are provided for securing modules to the baseboard.

Future-proofingNow there is an over-used phrase. In the case of EDP it means that

obsolete or superseded components (usually the processor chips)

can be removed and replaced with the latest types, leaving the

rest of your developed prototype intact. The key time-saver is that

your precious software will still work when re-compiled for the new

processor using the supplied low-level drivers.

There is also the opportunity to try out different processors at the

development stage. How about a different Cortex-M3, Cortex-M0,

ARM 7, ARM 9 or perhaps an XC167 optimised for fast real-time

processing? The PIM carrier module brings in the possibility of

evaluating dsPICs or PIC32s. EDP is not cheap, but it is built to last –

the module connectors are rated for many insertions/extractions for

example – and after the initial investment future additions will work

out a lot cheaper than a complete new development kit. Then there

is the time saved by not re-inventing the wheel.
