Industrial Defender Version 3.0 is the latest release in this risk-mitigation technology software suite designed for the real-time process control and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) environments. Enhanced features include support for Cisco and Secure Computing firewalls, intrusion detection for power substations, and increased product scalability. The suite comes equipped with a remote host-intrusion detection system suitable for process-control host systems incapable of running third-party software.

EverRun VM (virtual machine) is server virtualization software that prevents outages and data loss in Citrix XenServer virtual infrastructures. It lets companies reliably run high-value production applications on virtual machines and provides completely automated VM-availability setup and configuration, usually within 30 min. Additionally, it maintains itself by automating fault and policy management.

These magnetostrictive level sensors meet all relevant sanitary specifications for the pharmaceutical and the food and beverage industries. Features of the new sensors include faster response for control and 3A (74-03) sanitary configurations, such as electro-polishing/RA15 finish. The new level sensors also provide remote programming and diagnostic capabilities, via serial communication over standard cabling, to simplify commissioning and troubleshooting. Programming software is provided by the manufacturer free of charge.

The 4.5-in. plant safety gage features a solid-front/full-blowout back, which reduces blowback and the risk of the gage becoming a dangerous projectile after an explosion. The gage is constructed of Type 316 stainless steel. Accuracy specification is 1/2 of 1% full-scale pressure and the over-range can reach 130% of full-scale pressure without loss of accuracy. The pointer stop on the dial is located in the 6 o’clock position to further reduce the possibility of false indication.

The EP-NIR 2750i analyzers are designed to meet the demands of scientists and engineers working in biofuels, ambient air monitoring, stack gas analysis and specialty gases. Users can monitor processes in real time because the analyzer scans at a rate of 100 scans/s and achieves a spectral range of 128 photometric channels.

Rugged and accurate, the all-purpose V-Cone flowmeter is ideal for many industrial processes, but especially those that separate gritty oil sands. Since large amounts of water and energy are required for mining tar sands, reliable flowmeters are crucial in controlling and optimizing extraction, separation and upgrading. This unit can operate in extreme process environments, such as measuring in dirty liquid, natural gas or steam media.

The Stargate-O-Port valve, a type of slide-gate valve or through-port valve, is characterized by having a well-guided blade that passes through both ends of the valve body. Constructed with a hole in the middle of this blade, these valves can process solids, liquids and gases within flow media. Designed to require neither lubrication nor maintenance, the valve can be used as a shut-off valve, flow control valve or a line blind. Even in a partially open position, the valve has a straight flow direction.

The new Vision570 is a cost-effective and convenient programmable logic controller (PLC) with a built-in human-machine-interface (HMI) operator panel. Most notable for its 5.7-in. QVGA, 256-color thin-film transistor color touchscreen display, the controller also features on-board I/O options and built-in recipe capability. The controller can use over 1,000 displays and hundreds of highly detailed color images in a single application.

Featuring enhanced optics, the user-friendly infrared thermometers provide accurate readings over a broad range of temperatures from –26°F to 1,400°F. All models are simple to use, with °C/°F selectable temperature, laser-point sighting and large, easy-to-read displays. The devices allow temperature measurement from a distance without contacting the object to be measured.

In a space-saving and cost-effective design, the ST75V air/gas flowmeter takes highly accurate and reliable mass-flow readings for hydrogen, natural gas and other gases commonly used in chemical processing, electric power, food and beverage, and oil and gas applications. Built-in flow conditioning eliminates media disturbances and reduces pipe straight-run needs by up to 70%, thus making the meter ideal for applications with limited space or configured with insufficient upstream/downstream straight-pipe run.
