HardwareSorensen offers 90 different voltage and current configurations, including a 3U model that will do up to 10V and 1200A. Both the SGA and SGI series have analog and digital remote control interfaces, including GPIB, RS232, and Ethernet, which uses the LXI standard. One of the big benefits of the SGI series is the sequencing capability that frees up your system controller and shortens test time. It not only allows you to program in standard voltage, current, or power modes, but also voltage or current ramps as well as using subroutines, looping, and pauses for highly flexible automation.

With up to 30kW from a single supply and the ability to configure multiple supplies in parallel or series, the Sorensen SG series addresses the needs of applications requiring high-power programmable DC supplies. For more info, visit ProgrammablePower.com.

OLED displays are, without question, the best displays on the market today. With unbelievable contrast ratios, these displays have the darkest blacks achievable, meaning the display is vibrant and never looks washed out. OLEDs provide both color and light at each pixel, meaning that when the pixel is turned off to show black, there is no backlight still trying to leak through. Okaya sent EEWeb a variety fixed segment, character, and graphic OLED displays to see the clarity, brightness, and efficiency up close.

Specs

With the 17.5mm DIN rail demo unit, timing functions can be

set from one-tenth of a second to one hundred hours, and the

timers are available in mono or multifunction models. The demo

unit has a large variety of programmable functions. The MLR1 is

a single function timer with that function being an asymmetrical

recycler. The output alternates high and low, with the high and

low time set separately on the timer, meaning you can set any

duty cycle you need. The MUR1 is a multifunction timer, which is

popular due to its high flexibility. This multifunction timer allows

for simple delayed turn ons, or combined functions for start-

up routines that lead into programmed functions. The MXR1 is

another multifunction timer with different functions from the

MUR1. Function N is a safeguard timer and will set the output

high when the button is pressed and will go low when the timer

expires. It also has functions like Tt, which turns the output on for

a determined time, but the switch also acts as a manual turn-off

before time expires.

OnlineComponenets.com and Crouzet Control offer these and

many other control and automation products for applications in

a variety of industries. The Chronos 2 family of timers is highly

versatile and can address virtually any need in any industry.
