Temperature transmitter T32.xS for
protection systems |
| |
 The
T32.xS
temperature transmitter from WIKA, developed for a wide
range of applications in industry, is now available with a variant
certified for SIL2 applications and for redundant use for SIL3
applications. The specific qualification of the temperature transmitter
for use in protection systems has been certified by TÜV Rheinland after
successful auditing. There are only two such transmitters, worldwide,
which conform to the defined stringent procedure "Full Assessment in
accordance with IEC61508". Previously field devices of this type were
only evaluated through their operational reliability and/or their
failure statistics and for SIL applications declared with the attribute
"proven in use". The new procedure "Full Assessment in accordance with
IEC61508", in contrast, determines and certifies the qualification for
protection systems in accordance with strict rules, which already
include the design and development process and require the consistent
use of professional, high-end tools for quality assurance. Alongside
comprehensive internal failure monitoring, the T32.xS temperature
transmitter offers a dual sensor ... |

IEPE accelerometer with TEDS. Model 3100D24T is a rugged, ultra high
sensitivity accelerometer, and contains a ceramic shear mode sensing
element. With a sensitivity of 1000 mV/g, this unit is ideal for low g
applications. Model 3100D24T is constructed using 300 series stainless
steel, and has a 10-32 radial connector and 10-32 mounting hole. It
features a case isolated design to avoid annoying ground loops and
hermetic sealing for normal operation in moist and dirty environments.
Because of its ultra high sensitivity, the 3100D24T is ideal when high
output is needed, such as during the testing of large structures such as
bridges, floors and foundations. Its compact 5/8 inch hex housing allows
for general purpose use in almost any location. The 3100D24T
accelerometer is offered with IEEE 1451.4 TEDS ... |

JUMO TB/TW 08- The new temperature
limiter and monitor to EN 14 597 for panel mounting |
| |
 The
new TB/TW 08 extends JUMO’s existing portfolio of instruments
that can be used in the functional safety range to EN 14 597. Using this
freely configurable, 48 mm x 96 mm instrument can reduce to a minimum
the potential risks to people, property or the environment inherent in
systems or operational processes. The primary task of the temperature
limiter and monitor is to safely monitor thermotechnical processes, and
bring systems to a safe operating state in the event of a fault.
Although the practical functionality of the instrument was a priority in
its conception, its design has not been neglected. Linear in form and
characterized by features such as an ultra-flat front panel and a
brilliant display, the instrument can fit in with the design of more
sophisticated systems, and round off the overall concept. The display is
clearly set out and shows all the process values relevant to safety.
Additional LEDs also indicate whether system function is OK, or whether
a warning alarm or a main alarm has been triggered. ... |

 HBM:
Are you looking for a flexible solution for measuring mechanical,
electrical or thermal quantities? This amplifier supports
strain gages
and inductive transducers in full and half bridge configuration, voltage
and current, resistive transducers, all common thermocouple types,
rotary encoders, one input for CANbus and many others. All eight inputs
provide a 24-bit analog-to-digital converter, synchronized data
acquisition and are electrically isolated to ensure high measurement
accuracy. Because of the MX840A's universality and using Advanced Plug &
Measure (APM), your TEDS transducers and sensors automatically configure
the channel. For you, this means: Minimal setup times in daily operation
and thus efficiency and increased quality. If no TEDS is used, a

New DIN-Rail Amplifier for use with LVDTs |
| |
 Stellar
Technology: The new Series AP5102 is a standard DIN-rail Amplifier
for use with LVDT’s (linear variable differential transformer) requiring
AC excitation and synchronous demodulation. The AP5102 produces analog
outputs of 0-10 Vdc, ±10 Vdc, or 4-20 mA, and incorporates a DC-DC
converter which ensures that the output of the unit is isolated from the
supply. Signal inputs of 20mV to 4V are accepted. The DIN mount housing
is constructed of high-impact thermoplastic and permits easy access to
screw terminal connections for power, analog output, shunt, and sensor
signals. Zero and span adjustments are made directly from the front
panel with 25-turn trim pots. All other controls are internal including
coarse gain and zero, zero input switch, jumper links for master/slave
setting, and excitation frequency setting. All internal settings are
easily accessible by disengaging the front panel and board assembly from
the housing. The AP5102 is compatible with the complete range of Stellar
Technology AC/AC
LVDT transducers, and most other manufacturers LVDT’s. ... |

switch points, reset points and units is no longer required. These are
uploaded directly into the pressure switch from the central control
system over a standard cable and can be reproduced at any time. This
reduces the time required for commissioning or retrofitting. The
operator is supported through a flexible choice of parameters and data
documentation. IO-Link also enables diagnostics, giving precise

Combination sensor system for
single-sided thickness measurement |
| |
 Sensor
specialist Micro-Epsilon is relaunching its proven combination
sensor, the KS5. The new KSH5 has been developed even further and now
combines a
capacitive sensor and an
eddy current sensor with additional
integrated
temperature measurement, in a single, compact sensor module.
The combination sensor is used for single-sided thickness measurement of
plastics. Both sensors measure without making contact with the target
and measure continuously in one axis on the same measuring spot. This
means that the combination sensor offers significant benefits when
compared with conventional designs in which multiple sensors are
positioned adjacent to one another. The sensor has a measuring range of
5mm and for the first time has been produced using a unique ECT
production technology recently developed by Micro-Epsilon. Even higher
resolution , very high temperature stability and longer service life
combined with a very compact sensor housing are just some of the
benefits that customers will see from this new technology. A special,
optimised combination connector is provided, which means that output
signals from temperature measurements, the capacitive sensor and the
eddy current sensor can be transmitted in a single connection cable. ... |
