Cost-effective automation solution for level applications
Krohne - KROHNE is expanding its range of radar level meters with two new products in the OPTIWAVE 15xx series: a version with local display for OPTIWAVE 1540 and OPTIWAVE 1560, and the SCU 200 control and signal conditioning unit, which is compatible with all OPTIWAVE 15xx devices. Together, these components form a modular and cost-effective automation solution for level applications, especially in the water and wastewater sector.
Ultrafast GHz Digitizers with easy control over Ethernet
Spectrum Instrumentation - Spectrum Instrumentation presents seven new digitizers that make automated acquisition and analysis of signals in the GHz range easier than ever before. Using a simple Ethernet/LXI cable, the DN2.33x series products can connect directly to PCs, laptops or even the company network. Additionally, the instruments are compact, lightweight and mobile, allowing them to be taken almost anywhere.
Portable authenticity testing device detects food fraud at the point of sampling
BASF - Bia Analytical Ltd have joined forces with trinamiX GmbH to launch a ground-breaking new portable authenticity testing service that will offer customers along the food value chain a high-speed indication of authenticity at the point of sampling, taking testing out of the lab and into the supply chain.
New Level and Flow Controller Reduces Complexity in Water and Wastewater Applications
Emerson - Emerson has introduced its next-generation Rosemount 3490 Controller for level and flow measurement applications, which helps to reduce complexity, optimize processes and enhance sustainability. Designed to maximize ease-of-use, the Rosemount 3490 provides comprehensive control functionality for 4-20 mA or HART compatible transmitters and is an ideal solution for water, wastewater and process industry applications.
New wireless communication system for remote access to measurement data
Krohne - KROHNE introduces OPTIBRIDGE 3880 IIoT data logger for remote data services, acquisition and evaluation. It is a fully autonomous, battery or mains powered wireless communication system for remote access to measurement data, aimed at the water & wastewater industry.
New Electromagnetic Flowmeter for Conductive Liquids
JUMO - It can be used with flexibility in a wide range of processes. In addition to the flow measurement, the temperature is also measured. A modern HMI allows configuration via Bluetooth and the JUMO smartCONNECT app. The SPE (Single Pair Ethernet) interface with PoDL (Modbus TCP, JUMO Cloud connector) enables simplified JUMO Cloud connection and consistent IP communication from the field to the automation level.
Non-Contacting Radar Transmitters
Emerson - Emerson has introduced the Rosemount 1208 Level and Flow Transmitter Series non-contacting radar transmitters to help increase the operational efficiency of water, wastewater and process industry utility applications. The performance of the 1208 Series surpasses that of ultrasonic and hydrostatic devices by delivering reliable and accurate level and open channel flow measurements.
Energy harvesting: energy-autonomous IoT communication in 5G networks
Fraunhofer - Minimal vibrations, temperature differences and even light can be used to generate power for small electronic systems. At Booth B4/258 of the electronica 2022 trade show, Fraunhofer researchers will demonstrate how 5G radio modules with higher energy consumption can now be powered autonomously through energy harvesting — without the use of batteries and cables.
Compact mass flow meters / controllers with Coriolis sensor
Bürkert - The smallest quantities of substances have to be measured and controlled reliably and precisely for applications in thin film coating technology, test benches, micro reaction technology and the food and beverage industry, for instance when dosing aromas or fragrances. The new mass flow meters and controllers (MFM and MFC Type 8756) from Bürkert Fluid Control Systems are designed for practical application.
Robust miniature pressure sensors
ifm - Flush mounting of pressure sensors in process pipework and vessels offers a distinct advantage in many applications: No dead space is created, thus preventing any buildup or blockage. The new miniature pressure sensor from ifm with a 1/4 inch process connection is ideal for fulfilling these requirements.
New radar antenna for level measurement
Siemens - Siemens presents Sitrans LR250 PLA (polypropylene lens antenna) radar level measurement transmitter, a field-proven device delivering reliable level readings for inventory management or critical process control. This high performing horn and lens design is a perfect fit for corrosive chemicals level measurement with a nominal pressure and temperature environment.
