The new three-phase 750-49x Power Measurement Modules provide voltage, current and many other measurement parameters, allowing for comprehensive grid analysis. The modules within the fieldbus-independent I/O System 750 transmit metrics (for instance reactive/apparent/effective power, energy consumption, power factor, phase angle,…
The new Ethernet/IP WirelessHART gateway is fully integrated into Logix from Rockwell, making it the company’s default WirelessHART gateway. However, other process control systems that support communication via Ethernet/IP can also be connected to the new gateway. The high…
The LiquiSonic analyzer (photo) now complies with the increased electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements proposed under the Namur Recommendation NE 21. NE 21 requires that the devices used in laboratory and process control are immune to interference. With the EMC conformity,…
The MR (magnetic resonance) Moisture Analyzer is capable of measuring the moisture content of virtually any bulk material, such as wood-based samples (whole-tree chips, forest residue chips, peat), annual fibers (straw, grains, willow), minerals, foodstuffs and sludge. Measurements can be…
The new BSTW II family of mechanical controllers and limiters for electric trace heating has system approval for hazardous (potentially explosive) areas (94/9/EC), which covers the self-limiting heating cables as well. The current capacity of the BSTW II family has…
The 12.5-mm wide KC Series Signal Conditioners — said to be the most compact signal conditioners available today — are now available with spring terminals to simplify and speed installation. In addition to their slim footprint, KC modules consume minimal…
Process Systems Enterprise Ltd. (PSE; London, U.K.; www.psenterprise.com) today announced the release of gSOLIDS 3.0, an integrated drag & drop graphical flowsheeting environment for process engineers and scientists in industries where particulate processes play an integral part, such as pharmaceuticals,…
Process sensors and actuators provide a wealth of information about their status. The Namur recommendation NE 107 that proposes standardized, easily understandable status indicators was issued by the International User Association for Automation in Process Industries (Namur; Leverkusen, Germany; www.namur.de),…
With the advent of smart or intelligent field devices, a wealth of digital information has become available. However, what does the host system do with these data? The field device transmits a bucket of bits to the host system. How…
The new version of this company’s on-line water analyzer UV500 is dedicated to process monitoring in the chemical industry. This analyzer is based on a 2,048-pixel, high-resolution spectrograph (0.29 nm) that covers both ultraviolet (UV) and visible (VIS) wavelengths. A…
