Two completely new interfaces, the HMI (Human Machine Interface) and the OWS (Operator Workstation), provide different levels of user access for this firm’s recently launched Ethernet-enabled CM710e NIR gauge for moisture measurement in industrial manufacturing processes, such as chemicals, minerals and ore-extraction, ceramics, detergents and construction products. The HMI provides supervisory access to up to 16 networked Series 710e Gauges while the OWS connects to an individual gauge. Both multi-lingual interfaces feature 1/4 VGA high-resolution color touchscreens to provide intuitive access to a range of measurement information, diagnostics and other functions, appropriate for the level of access required. All variants are available in high-impact polymer housings, rated to IP65, and suitable for use in ambient temperatures to 50ËšC. Optional stainless housings meet the need for safety and hygiene in food processing and other environments. The HMI provides scalable analogue outputs and digital I/O as well as extensive Fieldbus connectivity options, including all common EtherNet-based protocols and DeviceNet, Profibus and CANbus Open. — NDC Infrared Engineering Ltd, Maldon, U.K.
