NEED A WHERE TO BUY LINK



The "Soft Starter". Comes from China, right? "Where's The Beef?" :)

I have spent hours trying to trace origins of this gizmo to no avail.

I am not merely exercising my fingertips here. I am going to buy some samples -- then send them to boot camp. A 500 watt inductive load. Without my storage oscilloscope I realize I am "almost" screwed. But my eyeballs still work as does a 100 watt 130 volt incandescent light bulb.

A link would be appreciated.

"Thermal Scan"? Oh shoot yes. The module is going to get an audit using repeat starts. And reverse engineering the part numbers.

All I need is a link. The original post of this was not long ago, so I am hopeful.
  • Dang thing really plucks my Tektronix's Twanger for E and I data logging.

    Use the scope for waveform analysis of a so called soft-starter and this here critter for E and I (voltage and amperage).

    Yeah, and toss in the infra-red imager to peek at the miracle module's hemorrhoids when it is attempting a clean-and-jerk of a good size compressor motor.

  • - With memory card for stand alone operation.
    - and internal cold junction compensation for thermocouples.

    USB PC-logger module for thermocouples, RTD's
    Thermistors, semiconductor sensors and similar analog sensors

    Special Features
    - Logger can also be used as a temperature controller and temperature control.
    - No external power supply needed
    - Extremely high resolution of only 0,000005V (0.5uV)
    - Due to the very high resolution sensors can be connected with very little external circuitry.
    - Linearization of 15 of the most common sensors are integrated in accordance with DIN. Simply select the sensor.
    - No full-bridge circuit or expensive measuring amplifier required.
    - Optional galvanic isolation from the PC to 500V / 2500V, (data and -power) please ask if required.
    - Plug & Play compatible

    General
    Logger has 8 variable digital I O's. At the same time to 8 digital I O's can be connected to the logger to 16 sensors.
    Each of the 16 analogue and 8 digital channels operates independently.
    Long term measurements up to 10,000,000 samples channel are carried out.
    The cycle time of each channel can be determined individually.
    Formula: Cycle time s = 0.5 s * number of activated channels.
    The recorded values ??are stored in an ASCII file (text file).
    So an export to external programs is easily possible.
    Each measured value is stored with date and time.
    Furthermore, a separate file is created for each channel.
    Possible fields of application:
    - 16-channel PC-multimeter
    - 16-channel PC-Data Logger
    - 16-channel PC logic analyzer
    - 16-channel PC power failure display
    - 16-channel PC power failure display (resistor required)
    usw.

    it can also be external sensors can be connected.
    for example:
    - Analog temperature sensors
    - Analog pressure sensors
    - Analog moisture sensors
    - Analog brightness sensors
    usw.


    Scope of supply:
    - Description
    - 16-channel 23-bit data logger (LE-LOG_1623_USB_TE_SP)
    - Original Software (Full Version, english version)

    Cable: USB
    Tested operating systems: Windows XP or later

    Just trying to pay back as best I can--Mex has given more to this forum than I ever could.

  • Cajundood posted that image here:

    STARTER

    He should be able to tell you where he found it. He just says "online" in that post.
  • I'll try my Google kung-fu when I'm back at my desk, not so easy on the phone.

    That looks like a home brew or a prototype, not something mass produced.

    I spot a thrysistor a few diodes and some resistors. Where's the control logic? it is a simple time based ramp for winding current?
