Process control is one of the main functions of MultiCon device, made by Simex Company, Poland. Apart from simple threshold (ON/OFF) and proportional controls, it is also equipped with proportional-integral-derivative controllers, used mainly to maintain stable conditions in the case of demanding applications. Their operation consists in calculating the difference between the measured and preset values as well as modifying the output signal in order to reduce the control error. A wide range of parameters and functions featured by PID controllers allows, among other things, the following actions: - Optimal adjustment of the controller coefficients to the process requirements through [...]

The precise pressure transmitter x|act i has been especially designed for the food industry, pharmacy and biotechnology and measures vacuum, gauge and absolute pressure of gases, steams and fluids up to 40 bar.

The sensor is intended for use in safety-relevant systems. Thanks to its robust design, the sensor can be used for applications in rough environments such as cranes, vehicles, solar collectors, lifting platforms, constructions, etc. The sensor is designed for connection to a control system which evaluates the measured values securely transmitted via the CAN bus and which responds according to the relevance of the error in the event of error messages or on absence of the process data, thereby preventing a hazardous status. Main features: CANopen Safety - SIL2 Certified (TÜV) SIL2 according to IEC 61508 Use in mobile as [...]

A BD|SENSORS submersible probe dating back to the early days of the Thierstein family company proving its worth at the Köngen vegetable growing business 25 years later When BD|SENSORS talks about “long service life” and “durable” they really mean what they say - not just talk, but everyday reality. This is especially true for products of the family business in Thierstein, such as the plastic submersible probe that has been measuring fill levels in a cistern of the Köngen vegetable growing business for a quarter of a century now. The Gemüsebau Schäffer company from Köngen in Baden-Württemberg decided in 1993 [...]

This involves a play-free electronic switching cam encoder (abbreviated to: NOCN) with a maximum of four galvanically separated switching outputs (cams), which can be set by the customer and which are activated or deactivated depending on the relevant position of the drive shaft.A parameterisable multiturn absolute encoder with CANopen interface plus the switching cam encoder printed circuit board with separate controller are integrated into the compact housing. The encoder's CANopen position signal and the switching outputs can be parameterised separately. Parameterisation is carried out via the relevant CANopen objects in accordance with the encoder profile according to CiA, DS 406, [...]

Hansford Sensors have a range of ATEX and IEC Ex certified, intrinsically safe vibration sensors with 4-20mA outputs, ideal for direct use with PLC, BMS or other 4-20mA input modules. The low cost HS-420I and HS-422I sensors are designed for use in online vibration monitoring applications where the environment contains inflammable gases, fumes, chemicals, powders, dust etc., as found in many industries such as mining, gas production, paints, petrochemical, offshore, pharmaceutical. The sensors allow maintenance engineers to monitor vibration levels of pumps, fans, compressors, motors, conveyors, drilling rigs and all types of rotating machinery, which are in a potentially explosive [...]

Cetaqua has commissioned the Qualvista biogas analyser to its CoSin project – COMRDI15-1-0037, funded by ACCIÓ and the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) under the RIS3CAT Energy Community. The aim of the project is to demonstrate the technical and economic viability of biomethane and synthetic natural gas production, i.e. biogas upgrading and methanation, at an urban wastewater treatment plant. Technologies to be validated include biogas upgrading with membranes as well as catalytic methanation. The Qualvista system plays an important role in the biogas and biomethane quality monitoring, especially in terms of siloxanes, which is a key point to protect the [...]

The unique design enables you to take measurements in the discharge pipe of a compressor under 100% saturated [...]

Electronic pressure measuring instruments are used in various sectors of the plant and machinery construction industry. Critical working conditions such as moist environments, thermal load cycling or high-pressure cleaning often complicate their use or affect operational safety. This applies especially to instruments measuring relative pressures that cannot be hermetically sealed. But BD|SENSORS has developed a new type of filter element especially for these critical applications. The possibility of implementing several protection classes such as IP6x, IPx6, IPx7 and Ipx9K offers reliable and permanent protection from the ingress of media such as water, vapor or dust of relative pressure measuring instruments [...]
