Carlo Gavazzi held their annual North American Sales Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada. Joining us were Mr. Ray Attard, General Manager of our factory in Malta, and Mr. Michael Mifsud, our International Product Manager for Solid State Relays and Motor Controllers. Amongst the products presented were our new lines of switching power supplies, RPY relays, and coming next month, AC variable speed drives and loop detectors for vehicle detection.

Featured Product

The RJ-CS represents the state-of-the-art in solid state relay technology. It is a 50amp (600V) solid state relay with a built-in heatsink. Furthermore, it features an alarm output with load teach function and user adjustable alarm timer. The RJ-CS will continuously monitor the output and detect a failed SSR output or a failure of the heater. Up to 6 heaters can be connected in parallel and failure of a single heater element can be detected.

Carlo Gavazzi Solutions
When displaying the output from a transducer on a digital panel meter, normally the transfer function is linear. However, sometimes the output  is not linear over the entire range (usually at the low and high end). In cases such as this, it is not possible to obtain the correct reading on your panel meter since it is expecting a linear input. In applications like this, we can offer our UDM40 digital panel meter. The UDM allows the user to define up to 16 individual linear segments of their output and apply separate scaling for each segment (see diagram below showing 6 segments A-F). The result is the correct reading over the entire range.
