Autonics CT Series Multifunctional Counters/Timers

22.05.2015

Meters are used in industrial automation systems and are a complex microprocessor device with support for many functions and the ability to exchange information in industrial networks. Great success in this direction has been achieved by Autonics Corporation, which produces many models of high-precision meters for any needs of the industry.

The multifunctional counters/timers of the updated CT series have more than 800 functions, work through the popular RS000 interface, so they can be programmed and configured via a conventional PC. You can also use the factory default 485-digit digital values. Power contacts are rated for current up to 6 A.

Technical characteristics of the updated series:

- built-in RS485 interface and the ability to configure parameters using a computer and a free software package DAQMaster;
- power of power contacts: 5 A (in older models it was 3 A);
- wide setting of the output pulse time: 0.01...99.99 sec with a step of 10 ms;
- a large number of options for the operation of inputs / outputs;
- factory settings for 4 or 6-digit digital values: 0,001...9999 or 0,00001...999999;
- setting the initial values of the counter and timer;
- Possibility of memory reservation.

Standard Features:

- choice of operating mode: counter/timer;
- built-in 829 728 functions;
- extensive options for scaling parameters;
- counting rate up to 10 kHz;
- PNP- NPN- input operation mode;
- the ability to set the time of automatic on / off;
- Possibility to block control buttons.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Wheat grown tolerant of salty soil 23.03.2012

A group of Australian scientists, with the participation of the University of Adelaide, has found a way to create various durum wheat varieties that increase grain yields by 25% on saline soils.

Interestingly, the Australians claimed the new wheat varieties were not genetically modified crops, although a special gene was introduced into the wheat genome to confer salt tolerance. Although they used molecular techniques to identify the salt tolerance gene, the scientists said the introduction of the gene was not done by traditional genetic modification methods. This means that products made from such wheat will not be classified as transgenic and can be sold without any restrictions.

For the first time, scientists have managed to introduce a salt-tolerance gene into the wheat genome, and field studies show that the new wheat is not only not sensitive to salty soil, but also yields 20-25% more yield on it.

The development of the Australians is very important, since 20% of agricultural land worldwide already faces the problem of soil salinity. The problem is getting worse every year and poses a great threat to food production, especially in light of global climate change. Soil salinity is a concern in Australia, which is the world's second largest exporter of wheat after the US. According to experts, in 2050 the world population will reach nine billion people, and the demand for food will grow by 100%. Salt-tolerant crops in the future will become the most important tool for ensuring the food security of mankind.
