Analog Ethernet modules

Acromag's XT1230 and XT1240 models, part of the BusWorks® XT Series of Ethernet I/O modules, provide a 16-channel interface for single-ended analog current or voltage input signals with Ethernet/IP, Modbus/TCP, Profinet, or i2o® peer-to-peer communication. The space-saving, inch-wide design features dual Ethernet ports, removable front-facing terminal blocks and DIN rail power bus support. Its convenient USB-to-PC connection and free Windows software makes configuration quick and uncomplicated. Suitable for use in harsh environments, all modules operate from -40 to +70°C with noise immunity, surge protection and CE compliance.

Sludge monitoring

Markland meters use safe ultrasound (no permits/approvals needed) to measure and monitor slurry and sludge concentrations in pipes, tanks, re-circulation loops, and clarifiers. They automate sludge removal by enabling users to program underflow pumps to shut off before sludge becomes too thin. These instruments help operators determine dry/liquid additive dosages for preferred concentrations, as well as flocculent dosages for improved filter press performance. These efficiencies improve outflow available for reuse. The inline pipe spool-piece sensor is non-intrusive and simple to install, calibrate and clean.

Remote shutdown system

For monitoring and control in challenging environments, SignalFire Wireless Telemetry offers the Remote Shutdown System (RSDS), which can shut down assets remotely with the fail-safe logic necessary for wireless operation of critical systems. Eliminating the need for costly conduit runs, this long-range (3+ miles) wireless telemetry system can be configured with either a PLC monitoring system or a SignalFire Gateway-controlled standalone system that can monitor inputs and generate control commands autonomously. The RSDS interfaces with any type of sensor and transmits the data wirelessly to a SignalFire Gateway.

Leak detection kit

The new Spectroline® OLK-402 Industrial Leak Detection Kit accurately pinpoints leaks in water- and water/glycol-based industrial systems. It allows inspection of the entire system under all operating conditions. At the heart of the kit is the OPTI-LUX™ 400 high-intensity, violet-light LED leak detection flashlight. Its high-output light causes dyes to fluoresce more brilliantly and with greater contrast than with standard blue light inspection lamps. The rechargeable lamp is compact and lightweight and has an inspection range of up to 25 ft. (7.6 m) or more.
