The STA Safety Trip Alarm performs as a logic solver and reacts to potentially hazardous process conditions. It can warn of unwanted process conditions, activate emergency shutdown, and provide on/off control in safety instrumented systems (SIS) and traditional alarm-trip applications. The 4-wire STA accepts an input signal from transmitters (current and voltage inputs), temperature sensors (resistance temperature detector and thermocouple inputs), resistance devices and potentiometers, and a wide range of other monitoring and control equipment. It has three failsafe alarm outputs. Two are configurable process alarms that trip when a monitored process variable falls outside of user-set high and/or low limits. The third alarm is a non-programmable, latching alarm that is activated if any internal faults are found by the system’s extensive internal diagnostics, or if the input is faulty or broken.
microNCS Modbus remote terminal unit
The microNCS Modbus remote terminal unit (RTU) master and distributed input/output (I/O) system sends process signals between the field or factory floor and a control system. One or both Modbus RTU ports can be configured to poll other Modbus RTU slaves with all of the network polling functions of a typical Modbus master. This includes polling of up to 32 (without repeaters) microNCS stations. The unit can handle up to 64 slave devices when both Modbus RTU ports are in use. It concentrates data from four or eight fully isolated analog inputs and four discrete (contact closure) inputs, and then transmits the data long distances back to one or more host distributed control system (DCS), programmable logic controller (PLC) or personal computer (PC)-based control systems. Its industry-standard open connectivity (OPC) interface delivers plug-and-play integration with popular PC-based human-machine interface (HMI) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software packages.
Special Needs And Products (SNAP)
Special Needs And Products (SNAP) is a new service that provides access to a team of applications engineers who develop customized solutions to meet unusual signal-interface needs in industrial process control, systems integration and factory automation applications. When an off-the-shelf replacement instrument is not suitable, the SNAP team performs updates on instruments by modifying functions, including: non-standard power ranges, non-standard signal inputs and outputs, computing and math functions, and alarm trips, among others. These engineers also develop special and original equipment manufacturer instrument housings and enclosures, custom mountings and connectors, and application-specific temperature sensors and thermowells
TMZ PC-programmable Modbus temperature and signal transmitter
The TMZ PC-programmable Modbus temperature and signal transmitter delivers high input resolution and exceptional digital measurement accuracy. The unit accepts a direct signal from a wide array of sensors and analog devices, including resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), thermocouples, current/voltage meters, and potentiometers, and then converts the input to the standard Modbus RTU (RS-485) protocol. The TMZ transmitter offers significant savings on wiring and installation costs by concentrating multiple monitoring points onto a single communication link. Up to 32 units (without repeaters) can be multi-dropped onto a single low-cost communication link, eliminating the need to run a dedicated wire for each signal. Residing in a rugged, metal, RFI-resistant housing, the TMZ is isolated and protected against the effects of ground loops, plant noise and electromagnetic interference.
WORM Flexible Sensors
Suitable for both new and retrofit applications, WORM Flexible Sensors replace restrictive straight sensor probes with a universal sensor strategy. Designed to be rugged and flexible, these patented sensors are capable of bending around and through the top or face of an enclosure. This eliminates the straight-sensor installation step requiring the removal of parts of the transmitter enclosure. External temperature effects do not affect this sensor, as the temperature assembly keeps the spring-loaded WORM shielded and in place. Its step response times are 13% faster than the standard, straight sensors. These sensors are available with a variety of RTDs and thermocouples, including 100 and 1,000 ohm, platinum, copper, nickel RTDs, and J- and K-type thermocouples.
