Pressure transmitter now with SIL
evaluation |
| |
 WIKA
has reacted immediately to the new safety standards within the process
and machine-building industries: The Model IS-2X intrinsically safe
pressure transmitter is now available with SIL 2 classification. In
order to enable the use of the IS-2X in SIL applications the most
important safety-relevant data have been determined and summarised in an
additional data sheet for safety-related data. These include the Average
Probability of Failure on Demand (PFDa), the Hardware Fault Tolerance (HFT)
and the Safe Failure Fraction (SFF). Process industry customers need
this information for a SIL evaluation of the complete scope of
application. For the requirements of machine building, MTTFd (Mean Time
To Dangerous Failure) values are provided in order to be able to
determine the Performance Level (PL). The versatile pressure

New Contact-Free Capacitive Level Switch
Allows For Complete Media Compatibility |
| |
 Sensortechnics’
new CLW series detects point levels of liquids and granular or
pulverised materials without contacting the media. The user can easily
adjust a high and low switch point with a hysteresis of less than 25 mm.
The CLW device uses a new non-invasive
capacitive sensor technology and
allows for complete media compatibility and sterility. Due to its
miniature size these level switches can be perfectly integrated into OEM
devices. The CLW sensor can be mounted to the outside of a container or
vessel and is able to measure through almost any non-metallic wall
material. The level switch is highly flexible and can be easily
calibrated to measure to the desired levels, media and application
set-up. The CLW series achieves a very high accuracy and reliability due
to an additional reference electrode which compensates for all changes
in ambient environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.
Additionally, Sensortechnics can also provide continuously measuring
level sensors based on the same contact-free capacitive technology. ... |

New measuring principle for low cost
displacement sensors |
| |
 Micro-Epsilon
has developed a completely new displacement measurement principle with
its new Magnetic Displacement Sensor (MDS). In contrast to the widely
used Hall Effect principle, the MDS is based on a method patented by
Micro-Epsilon, which is based on a linear relationship between the
position of the magnet and the output signal. As printed coils are used
for this measurement principle, the manufacturing method does not depend
on semiconductor processes. This makes customer-specific adaptations
considerably easier. The sensors have an extremely high basic
sensitivity, which enables a very simple and low cost evaluation
circuit. With an
eddy current sensor as the technological core, very
fast, high resolution versions can be achieved. Compared to
Hall Effect
sensors, much larger measuring ranges (currently 60mm limit) can be
achieved. In addition, significantly smaller magnets are required as the
target. ... |

GH15D – The new reference in M5 pressure
sensors for combustion analysis for bores down to 5.7mm |
| |
 AVL
recently released the new
pressure sensor GH15D which allows the most precise measurements for
combustion analysis with a sensor of its size. The high performance of
this front sealed mounted sensor is realized by using thermally
optimized piezoelectric elements and the special Double-Shell design
which decouples the piezoelectric elements from negative influences of
thermal expansion and other mechanical effects. The connection between
sensor and the piezoelectric cable is realized in M3 size. This makes it
possible that the sensor can be mounted into bores down to 5.7mm. The
sensor is equipped with sensor identification (SID) which supports
Sensor Data Management (SDM). ... |

burial monument |
| |
 WayCon
Positionsmesstechnik GmbH: Accuracy measurement for monitoring of
structural deformations and convergences in an ancient burial monument
through a draw wire displacement transducer of the SX series with 50mm
measurement range. An ancient burial monument ca. 300 BC, was unearthed
100 years ago in the near of Thessaloniki, Macedonia, Greece. Over the

HeavyDuty technology with enhanced
monitoring system (EMS) |
| |
 Baumer
encoders are designed for utmost reliability under most adverse
conditions, and the many decades of dependable operation in customer
applications give proof of that. However, there are some applications
where trust is not enough – regardless of most reliable technology.
Baumer has taken this aspect into account and embedded a
function-checking system in their new encoder series HOG 9.2 and HOG
10.2 (fig. 1). Identical in mechanical design to HOG 9 and HOG 10 that
have proved absolutely reliable in tens of thousands of applications,
the enhanced HOG 9.2 and HOG 10.2 feature the so-called “Enhanced
Monitoring System” (EMS). The basis is a rapid microprocessor which
continuously monitors all encoder functions over the full speed range.
Any eventual malfunction or error is quickly and reliably detected. By
an alarm output the control is informed of any error occurred. The
prevailing operating status is visualized by LED provided at the encoder
housing. But the new HeavyDuty
encoders are ... |
