Modern technologies of galvanic separation of digital signals and their possible applications in intrinsically safe devices
Journal Title: Mining – Informatics, Automation and Electrical Engineering - Year 2015, Vol 523, Issue 3
Abstract
The article presents the reasons why the approach to separation has changed. Based on the solutions by Analog Devices and Texas Instruments, state-of-the-art technologies of galvanic separation of digital signals were presented. The authors described inductive coupling in the iCoupler technology and capacitive coupling in the ISO technology. Finally they discussed possible future applications of this kind of separation in intrinsically safe devices.

Bucket wheel excavator cutting tooth stress and deformation analysis during operation using Finite Elements Method (FEM)
In the case of bucket wheel excavators, the cutting process is influenced by the forces opposing the working elements and cutting tools. These forces determine the choice of machines and their parameters as well as the o...
Analysis of machines work time during machinery and equipment supply for longwalls
Machinery and equipment supply to longwalls is related to the launch of a mining excavation and is one of the key elements of hard coal beds exploitation. The process is based on supplying all indispensable machines and...
Monitoring of loads in arch support with wire strain gauge
A concept of measuring the load and geometry of a roadway support with the use of vibrating wire strain gauges and draw-wire sensors is presented. Laboratory and in-situ tests of complete frames of arch supports under lo...
Principles of IT security in light of new regulations
In many places, the new regulations on the detailed requirements of underground mining operations introduced by the Minister of Energy on November 23, 2016, obligate the head of a coal mine to specify the detailed rules...
