New low cost LIN System Basis IC with
RESET/Watchdog unit |
| |
 |
The LIN bus (Local Interconnect Network) continues its successful
adoption in automotive and industrial applications with the release of
LIN version 2.0 and the release of SAE 2602 Networking specification.
This robust, cost effective communication scheme enables many basic
networking functions in sub-systems previously considered to be
uneconomical for smart actuators and controls. |
|
|
The new TH8065 from Melexis extends its successful LIN
transceiver and System Basis Chips (SBC’s) product line for the simple
and effective development of LIN slaves. This IC combines a physical
layer LIN transceiver according to LIN 2.0 as well as SAEJ2602 with a
5V/70mA voltage regulator and a RESET/Watchdog unit. This combination
reduces the LIN system costs and makes it possible to develop simple but
powerful and cheap LIN slaves with a direct connection to the 12V
boardnet. This IC is optimized in accordance with the increased EMC
requirements for single wire bus systems. The TH8065 is the second
member of the 2nd generation of LIN system basis ICs of Melexis. ... |

Miniaturised Humidity and Temperature
with analogue output or RS232/RS485 interface |
| |
 |
The model DKRF400 humidity- and temperature probe manufactured by
Driesen+Kern GmbH, Germany is suitable for a wide range of
applications. Due to its small dimensions (D=8mm, L=100mm) the probe can
be used in incubators, climate chambers, humidifiers, air conditioners
as well as many more applications in process and automation. |
|
|
The precise capacitive humidity and temperature sensor uses latest
CMOSens technology and has an optimal performance in a range of
–40...+120°C and of 0..100% RH giving an accuracy of up to +/- 1,8% RH.
A fast response time allows for fast process control. The probe has two
analogue of output of 0..1V, 0..5V, 0..10V for relative humidity and
temperature. Especially for datalogger and field applications it can be
powered from 3V onwards with an extremely low power consumption. For
more industrial applications it can be supplied with up to 25 VDC. ... |

MLX90316 wins Best of Sensors 2006 Gold
Award |
| |
Questex Media Group, Inc. announced the recipients of the Sensors
magazine “Best of Sensors Expo” Awards, honoring the most exciting new
products on display at Sensors Expo & Conference, taking place at the
Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. The editors of
Sensors presented gold, silver, bronze, and honorable mention awards to
14 exhibitors in four categories: Sensors; Sensor Components; Data
Acquisition Products; Communications & Networking Products. Exhibitors
submitted new product nominations and entries were judged on the basis
of potential impact, application, distinctiveness, timeliness, and
availability. This year’s panel of judges was comprised of the
magazine’s editorial staff, members of the editorial advisory board, and
industry experts, including Barbara Goode, Editor in Chief; Stephanie L.
Henkel, Executive Editor; Melanie Martella, Senior Editor; Contributing
Editors Tom Kevan, Ed Ramsden, and Wayne Manges; plus Deb Lickness, of
John Deere and Strether Smith of Structural/Signal Analysis Consultants.
“This year’s pool of entrants was exceptionally sophisticated,” says
Barbara Goode. “That made judging difficult—but it means a higher
quality array of products for sensor buyers.” .... |

New label sensor technology works with
every label type; eliminates changeover headaches |
| |
 |
Lion Precision, the world’s market leader in high-tech label
sensors, eliminated the need for sensor change during changeover with
the release of the new UltraLRD ultrasonic label sensor. This new label
sensing technology is equally effective on all labels, regardless of the
label or printing materials. |
|
|
“Until now, different label sensors were required for different
types of labels,” according to Nick Marchuk, sales manager, Lion
Precision. “The packaging industry has been calling for a universal
label sensor for years – now it’s here,” he added. The UltraLRD uses
ultrasonic technology. During operation, a high-frequency signal is
transmitted from the bottom of the sensor, through the label web, and
received in the top of the sensor. The amount of signal reaching the
receiver is dependent on the amount of material through which it
travels. The sensor accurately detects the increased signal level which
occurs during the gap between labels ... |

Over 350 sets of KROHNE flowmeters in the
Three Gorges Dam |
| |
 |
In 2001, after a successful bidding process, KROHNE was chosen as
provider for electromagnetic flowmeters for the Three Gorges left bank
power station. Because of the high quality of the installed flowmeters,
as well as the KROHNE service and support, which were to the customers
full satisfaction, KROHNE was not requested to undergo another bidding
process, when instruments for the Three Gorges right bank power station
were procured in 2005: |
|
|
The customer was so satisfied with the performance of the flowmeters,
that he directly placed the order to KROHNE. In the field of measurement
equipment of the whole Three Gorges project, this favor was only granted
to two companies, a fact underlining the high quality standard that
KROHNE is able to deliver. Altogether, more than 350 sets of KROHNE 4080
K electromagnetic flowmeters are installed in the Three Gorges dam,
ranging from small sized DN20 to larger DN600 instruments. Because of
potentially polluted water and the danger of deposits at the electrodes,
KROHNE provided flowmeters with special self-cleaning electrodes. |

OPEN UP for the new sensor generation –
Easily operated via graphical user interface! |
| |
 |
Accurate down to the millimeter, wenglor’s new reflection time
sensor performs high-precision measurements over extensive distances of
up to 100 meters. Absolutely innovative and overwhelming is the newly
integrated graphical display, which assures an especially easy and clear
operation. |
|
|
Ideal applications include position detection for electrical overhead
conveyors, precision fill-level measurement and monitoring of coiling
and uncoiling processes in the fields of paper, sheet material and sheet
metal processing. Diameters and height differences can also be precisely
detected. The fact that measurement is more or less independent of the
direction of motion, angle, and the reflection and color characteristics
of the object to be scanned, is a decisive advantage. Even dark objects
with diffuse reflection values of less than 6% can be reliably detected,
even in front of bright backgrounds. Highly modern operation via
graphical display A terrific, user-friendly innovation offers the
graphical display directly on the sensor surface. |

Liquid mass flow sensors including
OEM-applications |
| |
 |
Precise, compact and fast; those were the objectives for the engineers
at Bronkhorst High-Tech B.V. for their new digital Mass Flow
Meters for liquids. The result is the product series LIQUI-FLOW L10/L20.
As successor to the very successful analog LIQUI-FLOW series L1/L2, the
latest instruments are available within the range of 0.1 g/h and 1 kg/h
as either a flow meter or, with optional control valve, as a compact
flow controller. |
|
|
The pressure rating for the instruments is 100 bar. The stainless steel
sensor has negligible internal volume and no moving parts. As the sensor elements are not in direct
contact with the liquid, the sensor is suitable for aggressive fluids.
Calibration of the mass flow meters/controllers can be performed for
virtually every liquid and up to 8 calibration curves can be stored
onboard the instrument itself. In addition, the digital instruments
feature fast response (< 2 seconds) and high precision (1% FS or
better). ... |
