HMI, PLC
Wago's Perspecto® CP TV merges an HMI and PLC into one package. Unlike traditional configurations with separate PLC hardware/software and HMI hardware/software, the system is a comprehensive logic and visualization solution. This reduces overall costs and engineering time. Part of the company's I/O-System, its is compatible with 450+ digital, analog and specialty I/O, as well as controllers and bus couplers. It also permits direct access to IP67 distributive I/O, couplers and controllers - ideal for harsh environment process control.

Level monitoring
Magnetrol has launched the Eclipse Model 706 guided wave radar (GWR) transmitter designed to provide accuracy, reliability and safety for virtually all process industries. The transmitter's circuitry achieves both a higher transmit pulse amplitude and improved receiver sensitivity, resulting in a signal-to-noise ratio that is nearly 300% higher than competitive GWR devices. This assures dependable control for every level application, including extremely low dielectric media, extended measuring ranges, and punishing conditions where foaming, boiling or flashing can occur.

Flow monitor
Pulsar Process Measurement have launched Flow Pulse, a compact pipe flow monitor suited for monitoring flow rate in fluid distribution systems, for pump efficiency checks, in treatment plants or sewage pumping stations. Users clamp a small sensor to the outside of a pipe and immediately get a repeatable flow measurement. There is virtually no installation costs and no interruption to service. The monitor uses a spread spectrum ultrasound analysis technique never before used in flow monitoring. It operates in a flow range from as little as 0.3m/s through to 4m/s, with a minimum particle size of 100µ and concentration of 200 ppm or above (the equivalent of hard water).

Ultrasonic flow meters
Spire Metering Technology, formerly Shenitech, has released its next generation handheld ultrasonic flow meter, the Regal Series RH40. The meters are engineered to deliver non-intrusive flow and BTU measurement across a broad array of pipe sizes and applications for water, wastewater and other liquid flow applications. The meter is portable and relies on clamp-on sensors to perform non-intrusive measurements on flow, temperature and heat energy/BTU consumption on pipes ranging from 0.5" to 120" in diameter.
