Servomex Introduces the Next Generation of Tunable Diode Lasers for Oxygen and Ammonia Measurements

September 22, 2015 | Product News

Next Generation Tunable Diode Laser (TDL) process oxygen monitor from Servomex combines unique features, leading performance, and reduced cost-of ownership in a revolutionary compact design. It offers in-situ cross stack applications to deliver exceptional performance benefits in a revolutionary compact design. Servomex’s pioneering approach to design has produced an analyzer that occupies a footprint up to 1/10th the size of the competitors products. This provides instant benefits in terms of installation ease and flexibility.

The SERVOTOUGH MiniLaser Oxy delivers exceptional TDL performance, with a fast response to measuring O2 in a wide range of applications. Using the latest Wavelength Modulated Spectroscopy (WMS) measurement techniques with unique Servomex signal processing, the MiniLaser provides the most stable, repeatable results with minimal cross interference from other gases.

M-System Introduces the new DL8 series — An Inexpensive Web-Enabled Remote Terminal Unit (RTU)

September 21, 2015 | Product News

M-System’s model DL8 is a remote terminal unit with basic web server function. Various sensor signals are gathered from built-in I/O modules or remote I/Os connected through Ethernet Modbus/TCP and monitored through Intranet or Internet using a web browser. Users do not need any additional application program to view the data. User-friendly browser views are already installed: Data, Trend and Event Log views. Each one is basic but useful, designed for ease of browsing on a small screen of smart phones and tablets.

    Functions and Features:

  • Simple remote monitoring via internet without needing to build up a complex PC-based system
  • Pre-installed user-friendly browser view for remote data access through smart phones or tablets
  • Reporting by e-mails
  • Local data stored in an SD card memory
  • Various network protocols are usable: TCP/IP, SMTP client, HTTP server, FTP client and server, Modbus/TCP master and slave
  • R8 Series remote I/O modules available to accept a wide variety of field signals

Red Lion Graphite Goes Mobile

August 21, 2015 | Product News

The Red Lion Graphite® operator panel is an industry leader in performance and communication protocols. When the application requires additional control or connectivity, plug-in the Graphite modules. Red Lion offers mobile access to HMI technology to facilitate the management of assets and production performance. This means that HMI units are no longer tethered to a hardware connection with custom-designed screens for displaying process data aligned to the objects on the screen with these features:

Protocol Conversion

This has become a big deal now as legacy systems are upgraded. With the Red Lion Graphite Series, you have built-in protocol conversion. Not just any old converter – 300 different protocols, which keeps growing. How about thirteen simultaneous conversions over the Ethernet port or ports at once? What are some of the protocols that are of interest?: BACnet, Ethernet I/P Modbus TCP, and so on.

    Protocols

  • CAN
  • J1939
  • Device Net
  • PROFIBUS
  • HSPA+ Cellular

Multiple Modules

We are all used to requiring external I/O to read or write the process data signals. Not any more – just look at the picture at right below. At the rear of the 15-inch Graphite, there are eight plug-in slots. Some of the modules listed:

  • 8 D/I
  • 8 Relay Out
  • 6 Solid State Outputs
  • 4 Universal Analog I/P
  • 4 Analog Outputs
  • 8 DC mA I/P
  • 8 DC Volt I/P
  • 8T/C I/P
  • 6 RTD I/P
  • Strain Gauge I/P – Various O/P
Red Lion Graphite Modules

Built-in PID Control

The Red Lion Graphite series has PID control built-in. Now I can control my process without the need for another piece of hardware to provide the control features. One less point of failure.

Built for Tough Environments

Industrial and municipal facilities are a tough place for instrumentation to survive. The Graphite is built tough! There is a cast aluminum metal housing able to withstand shock and vibrations along with extreme temperatures – minus 30 Degrees Centigrade to plus 60 Degrees Centigrade.

    Approvals:

  • UL Class 1, Division 2
  • ATX zone 2/22
  • IECEx zone 2
  • EN 61326-1 to Industrial Locations
  • IEC/EN 61010-1
  • RoHS Compliant

Wireless Capability

It used to be that remote access was only possible if your HMI was networked with an Ethernet cable – not true anymore. With the newly released HSPA cellular wireless module, you can now view, edit, control and update data from your Red Lion HMI Graphite from virtually anywhere.
