The ROCK 4 SE will fill the Raspberry Pi hole in your heart

The ROCK 4 SE will fill the Raspberry Pi hole in your heart

We are extremely excited to announce that we are carrying the new ROCK 4 SE single-board computer (SBC). While it is not a “drop-in” replacement for the Raspberry Pi 4, the resemblance is uncanny.

Two must-have Crouzet products for your automation toolbox

As mentioned a few months prior, URS is now a vendor of Crouzet products. While some of our readers are familiar with Crouzet, we want to circle back around to highlight a couple of products we think are particularly useful.

Crouzet's SYR-Line Universal Digital Timer lives up to its moniker with a wide time range (0.1s to 100-day delay), universal voltage input (12 to 240 VUC), and universal mounting connection. Furthermore, it includes ALL the classic TDR functions with such hits like: OFF-Delay, ON-Delay, and REPEAT-cycle. For anyone in the world of industrial automation, the SYR-Line Universal DT is a must have. 

In addition to the timer, we highly recommend checking out Crouzet's phenomenal Millenium 3 series of logic controllers. To say that it "slices, dices, and purees" would be a gross understatement (despite the humorous pop-culture hyperbole), as the M3 combines monitoring, timing, counting, temperature control, level control, and countless other functions in one easy-to-use logic controller. Besides the astounding array of functions, the other aspect we like about the Millenium 3 is that it sheds the myth that powerful and complex logic controllers must be a pain to program and use. Even better, one can download the M3 software for FREE via the Crouzet website, and start working out logic control functions on a theoretical basis before applying them in the real world.

Crouzet is an independent company manufacturing electromechanic and electronic components providing: Switches and Sensors, Electromechanical Actuators, Electrical Protection Equipments, and Automation Controllers and Relays. For more information on Crouzet logic controllers, time delay relays, and other products, please reach out to your URS representative.

Crouzet's Millenium 3 logic controller: function without the hassle

PH_88974053.jpg

Of their Millenium 3, Crouzet boasts that it is “the logic controller for everyone, for everything”. We can count that statement as TRUE, without a doubt! When they say, “for everything”, Crouzet did not stutter as the M3 combines monitoring, timing, counting, temperature control, level control, and countless other functions in one easy-to-use logic controller.

What about “for everyone”?

Well, for someone like myself, of who my stepdad intoned “you have to be smarter than the seatbelt” – the M3 uses the most intuitive programming software on the market. Dubbed M3 soft – even the name is easy – it is a quick and simple program that requires no expert knowledge, and boasts a handsome function block based graphic interface. That is to say, ‘this guy” with the use of the online help guide and some youtube videos had no trouble creating block layouts for pump controls and an AC motor alarm system.

The greatest thing about the Millenium 3 is that it sheds the myth that powerful and complex logic controllers must be a pain to program and use. Even better, one can download the M3 software for FREE via the Crouzet website, and start working out logic control functions on a theoretical basis before applying them in the real world.

Crouzet has wonderful breakdown of the Millenium 3 on via their website (psst! do not forget to download the free software and play around).

If you like what you see, or are curious how I came to be “smarter than the seatbelt” with Crouzet’s Millenium 3, please reach out to your appointed URS account representative. No rep, no problem, simply call us at 503-233-5341 or email sales@ursele.com for assistance.

Now it's video time, cheers! 

Raspberry PI Computer Kits

The Raspberry Pi 400 Computer Kit is a complete and powerful personal computer built into a compact keyboard enclosure at a fraction of the cost for a standard desktop computer or comparable power.

The computer features a quad-core 64-bit processor, 4GB of RAM, wireless networking, dual-display output, and 4K video playback, as well as a 40-pin GPIO header.
