This display unit merges an HMI with a PLC

The Perspecto CP television merges a human-machine interface (HMI) with a programmable logic controller (PLC) in one package. Traditional configurations utilize separate PLC hardware and software, and HMI hardware and software, the company says, but the Perspecto CP is a…

Accurately monitor relative humidity with this probe

The PCMini52 relative humidity (RH) and temperature probe utilizes a thin-film capacitive sensor, which is designed for extremely fast response and long-term stability for repeatable measurements. The design provides a large capacitive response to small changes in humidity that, in…

Simulation for the Masses

While almost all chemical processors employ simulation software during the early design stages of new plants or new lines, simulation vendors say best-in-class facilities take the powerful tools further and use them for improving operations and profitability. And, across the…

Managing Pressure while Pigging an Oil Pipeline

How to utilize a pipeline inspection gauge (pig) in a crude-oil pipeline that requires a pressure control valve can be a bewildering question for process engineers, especially in cases where the oil pipeline does not have any pig-launcher and receiver…

Batch Control: Controller- Versus Server-Based Sequencers

When designing a batch system, engineers often select the control solution based on the size of the system. It is traditionally thought that small batch systems require a controller-based sequencing solution, while larger systems require a server-based solution. However, despite…

This level indicator has a variety of probes available

The new PulsFox PMG 10 guided micropulse level indicators are designed to measure the level of high- or low-viscosity, adhesive, conductive or isolating liquids or bulk solids in storage or process containers, silos or tanks. The level indicator operates on…

These upgraded scales have a remote display

This company’s MSI-4260 and MSI 3460 crane scale models have been upgraded to allow its use with a new remote display. Compatibility with the remote display product offers an added advantage of seeing and controlling weight data wirelessly from a…

Choose pressure or electrical connections with this transducer

The new Model HPK compact pressure transducer is available with a choice of pressure and electrical connections. Said to be dependable, precise and affordable, this analog output device offers either current or voltage outputs to indicate readings from vacuum through…

Accurate machinery alignment in rough field conditions

The newly launched sensALIGN is an intelligent sensor system for machinery alignment. By incorporating the patented intelligent-sensor technology from a partner into its own platform, this company offers 100% accuracy (0% accuracy loss), guaranteed, it says. The seneALIGN unit automatically…

Remote support for moisture measurement

This company has introduced a new remote support and optimization capability for its CM710e range of Ethernet-enabled, online NIR (near infrared) gages. These gages are used for moisture measurement in industrial manufacturing processes, such as chemicals, minerals and ore extraction,…
