IDC-based power connection
17 December, 2007 | Weidmuller Pty Ltd
The FieldPower product concept is based on the PowerBox, which is used to contact 5-pole power cables ranging from 2.5 to 6 mm2. The PowerBox integrates the following functions in a single module: power supply, extension, outgoing motor feeder and distribution. The PowerBox is mounted at any point within the plant with the continuous, uncut cable placed inside. Thanks to colour coding this is done quickly and without errors. Round and/or flat cables can be utilised. Using a sheath stripping tool, the cables are partially stripped and the individual cores are placed into the base module of the connection block and the contact unit snapped shut. Using a screwdriver, the contact element is simply closed downwards in a 90° movement. This creates a safe and reliable contact for distributing 400 V of power. The connection is made utilising IDC connection technology.

Digital-to-analog video stream decoder
17 December, 2007 | CrispTech Pty Ltd
The VPort D351 is a 1-channel industrial video decoder that can rapidly decode network video and audio streams from Moxa's VPort series of video encoders and IP cameras, and then send the analog signals back to traditional CCTV equipment. The decoder is designed to link to standard analog CCTV devices, such as the monitors, multiplexers and matrix switches used in many surveillance applications. Users can easily bridge existing analog video surveillance systems to a Moxa IP-based video surveillance network. In addition, a bi-directional audio function enables real-time voice over IP communication between Moxa's industrial video encoder and decoder, and the transparent PTZ control allows instant control of remote PTZ controllers at the control site.
