Lainate, October 2018 - Carlo Gavazzi Automation, the international electronics group with activities in the design, manufacture and marketing of electronic equipment, today presents its new single phase motor soft starter.

The RGTS is a very simple soft starter for low starting torque single phase AC induction motors. It only requires two easy settings for initial torque and ramp-up duration.

The RGTS is the perfect solution for fans and pumps running on 110 VAC up to 240 VAC, where the mains voltage is prone to sags. Particularly in a residential or in a light commercial environment, such voltage sags may cause disturbances to occupants as well as to sensitive electronic devices. In some cases, the high starting current may also cause protection devices to trip. The RGTS can considerably reduce the direct on line start current by 40%, thereby reducing such disturbances and ensuring better up-time.

Its robust design is also proven through the 100 kA short circuit current rating, making it compliant with the requirements of UL508a for industrial control panels. The fully solid state design makes this product ideal for application with frequent starts.

“We have seen an increasing trend for single phase soft starters. Our customers are asking for easy to configure products,” says Jason Demicoli – International Product Manager. “With this launch Carlo Gavazzi’s intention is to offer a wider soft starter products range for single phase motor applications, enabling us to further expand our sales in North America and in the Asiatic regions.”

Developed by our Competence Centre in Malta, the RGTS has been specifically designed for single phase motor in Water treatment, Agriculture, Building automation market applications such as pumps, fans and compressors.

Main technical features
• Simple interface with just 2 settings (resulting in reduced installation complexity)
• Fully solid state design (robust design for high frequency starts)
• 12 A up to 25 A in 54 mm wide housing
• Multi-voltage operation: 100 VAC up to 240 VAC
• Wide supply voltage range: 24 VAC/DC or 100 – 240 VAC versions
• 100 kA short circuit current rating

Lainate, September 2018 - Carlo Gavazzi Automation, the international electronics group with activities in the design, manufacture and marketing of electronic equipment, today launches the new Dupline^® generator and Modbus gateway SD2DUG24.

This new device mainly performs three functions: Dupline^® channel generator, power supply synchronization (enables 3-wire system with supply) and Modbus RS485 interface and it is fully programmable via software, which is free, downloadable from the Carlo Gavazzi website.

High modularity and scalability, as well as fast and easy installation, allow this module to be progressively integrated even into an existing system.

This module replaces and upgrades the G34900000xxx and G34960005xxx modules, and it can be integrated into the Sx2WEB24 or the new UWP 3.0 platform, enhancing its communication capability and making it ready for the IIoT and Industry 4.0.

“Following the launch of the Profinet gateway, this new Dupline^® generator and Modbus gateway is a further project intended to update the Dupline^® industrial range”, Raffaella Sirena, International Product Manager, states. “We are confident that the release of this module will give us the opportunity to grow our business in Modbus based infrastructures typically using PLC.”

Developed by our Competence Centre in Belluno, the SD2DUG24 module, part of the Dupline^® bus system, has been designed for applications in Industrial Automation, Water Distribution, Energy Management and Mining.

Main technical features
• Modbus-RTU slave interface
• Built-in 2 and 3-wire Dupline^® channel generator
• Generation of 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 96 and 128 channels
• All the Dupline^® protocols are supported
• LED-indications for supply, Dupline^® carrier and RS485
• Formulas to scale the raw data read from the field
• Easy connection to the PC via a USB port
