For thousands of years we have relied on carbon fuels to power our world and for a long time, it made a lot of sense. Carbon fuels such as coal and oil were easy to get to and therefore a cheap source of fuel and energy dense. As demand increased they became harder to find and then, of course, the environmental impact became widely known, but by then we were so very dependent on them. Continue reading

Anything that increases the reliability of your safety circuit has to be a good thing…..
In fact, it is a basic requirement when using safety relays or Safe PLCs that the outputs are protected against overcurrent and overvoltage to prevent dangerous failures.
In the case of a safety relay output, this may be in the form of a welded relay contact for example.

So here we are once again with my last blog of 2013 so I thought I would highlight not only a very innovative technology but also a very new market. Building-integrated photovoltaics, or BIPV as it’s more commonly known, is the latest trend in energy development using solar technology.
Conventional building materials such as windows, roofing, shading elements, etc. are being replaced with photovoltaic modules. This trend satisfies the future requirements that buildings will need to meet, namely, not only to use less energy but also to actively provide energy. BIPV usually involves difficult installation conditions where the space available for laying cables is very restricted in most cases.
