Rockwell Automation uses Mindel B-430 for E3 Overload Relay.Business Editors NOTE TO MEDIA: Photo/Logo is available in a Smart News Release(TM) on Business Wire's Home Page at www.businesswire.com and at www.newstream.com ALPHARETTA, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 11, 2001 Unique, smaller design loaded with performance features In its efforts to develop smaller and more powerful automation solutions, Rockwell Automation Rockwell Automation NYSE: ROK is an industrial automation company. Its products include Allen-Bradley controls and engineered services and Rockwell Software factory management software. The company headquarters are located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. is manufacturing its MCS-E3 Overload Relay using Mindel(R) B-430 modified polysulfone from BP Amoco Polymers. Rockwell Automation says the MCS-E3 Electronic Overload Relay is unique in that it's the only product in the industry that includes so many performance features in a small package. An overload relay combines with a contactor con·tac·tor n. An electrical relay used to control the flow of power in a circuit. to act as a motor starter. The overload relay protects the motor from damage by opening the contactor and interrupting the current flow to the motor if an overload condition takes place. Rockwell Automation's MCS-E3 Electronic Overload Relay uses a communication protocol called DeviceNet, which is becoming the standard for communication on factory floors. DeviceNet is an open network governed by the ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendors Association) See DeviceNet. . "We began using Mindel resin approximately eight years ago," says Pat Murray, project engineer with Rockwell Automation. "Customers wanted us to offer our standard AC contactors in DC formats, so we had to rework re·work tr.v. re·worked, re·work·ing, re·works 1. To work over again; revise. 2. To subject to a repeated or new process. n. our coil designs. DC contactors require larger coils, so the base housing requirements became more demanding from a design and molding standpoint. We started using Mindel resin back then, and we got good moldings right away. Ever since then, we've been using it whenever possible on all of our new power product applications. It has low warpage and flows easily into thin walls, plus it has low shrink characteristics. Through the years, Mindel resin has been a very good material for us across-the-board." Mindel resin also helps Rockwell Automation meet its aggressive requirements for flammability flam·ma·ble adj. Easily ignited and capable of burning rapidly; inflammable. [From Latin flamm . "While Underwriters Laboratories Underwriters Laboratories Inc. is a U.S. not-for-profit, privately owned and operated product safety testing and certification organization. Based in Northbrook, Illinois, UL develops standards and test procedures for products, materials, components, assemblies, tools and only requires a flammability rating of HB, Rockwell Automation designs its components to UL94 V-0," Murray explains. "Using Mindel resin in our designs helps us meet flammability rating objectives." Mindel modified polysulfone blends are developed by BP Amoco Polymers for demanding, specialized electrical component applications. Mindel blends can bring distinct cost and performance advantages to many component designs.
