The TA-2048MB gas-detection digital Modbus rack-mount controller features a 48-channel system, with three separate 16-channel Modbus networks. It has local or remote power supply options and four single-pole/single-throw (SPST) relays that are common to all channels on each network. It features a backlit 16-character by 2-line liquid crystal display, automatic scrolling that provides channel data and fault conditions, and simple front-panel, push-button channel setup. Its redundant storage of configuration parameters provides excellent system reliability.

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.

Pilot Pro is a communications interface for process sample conditioning systems that provides a link between plant process control operations and analyzer maintenance networks, regardless of their locations. Consisting of a sensor and solenoid administration module, it acquires, transmits and manages real-time sample system information via an electronic interface, facilitating critical process control decision-making.

The PTM-300 Series Pulse Timing Modules solve timing issues by providing precise timing control of proximity and photo-sensor output pulses in process control, conveyor and machine applications. The PTM-300 input circuitry automatically detects and determines signal polarity from any standard “open-collector” type sensor output, such as NPN (sinking) and PNP (sourcing). The timing module then produces a timed output with the same polarity.

The Side-Stream Assembly monitoring system maximizes corrosion inhibitor efficiency, essentially paying for itself in about one year through savings on corrosion inhibitor costs. Installation is quick and does not require plant shutdown. The assembly includes multiple, easily connected 1-in. tees. Each tee can be specified with one of several corrosion management and process monitoring technologies, including: Microcor corrosion and erosion rate measuring, Corrater linear polarization resistance (LPR) and galvanic measuring, bio-probes, coupons, and process parameter measuring.

The Supervision SAT lateral-launch pipeline inspection system uses a steerable six-wheel drive to maneuver up to 300 ft down 6-in. or larger main lines. From there, it inserts its camera as far as 100 ft into 3.5-in. and larger lateral lines. Its auto-leveling color camera has shadowless illumination, and adjusts to view sidewall detail and distant targets by panning up to 360 deg. and tilting up to 90 deg. Auxiliary lamps and a backward-viewing camera enhance visibility in both directions.

 The ThermoVision A320G infrared camera is designed for machine vision applications, and offers plug-and-play temperature measurement. The camera features image flow control that allows an external signal to control image streaming, a digital I/O switch for triggering and synchronization with external equipment, infrared monitor software that permits users to run up to nine cameras simultaneously, a built-in 25-deg lens with motorized auto-focus, and high sensitivity (

The 2D Microgage performs precision measurement, machine alignment, calibration and other demanding industrial tasks. The tool is easy to set-up and use right on the factory floor. It combines a compact laser transmitter with a receiver and a digital display. As the laser moves across the receiver (either in a vertical or horizontal direction), the display provides a reading of the motion accurate to 0.0001 in. Its bright red beam is effective at distances exceeding 100 ft.

The LANCOM 200 is a portable device for oil-fired and coal-fired boilers that require periodic monitoring of the sulfuric acid dewpoint temperature to maintain boiler efficiency, prevent corrosion, or evaluate fuel additive effectiveness and changes to combustion conditions. The monitor can take a measurement in just a few minutes and store up to 10,000 readings at a time. The generated data can be used to reduce fuel additive consumption and ensure maximum operating efficiency of electrostatic precipitators, and it helps to reduce acid fallout and aerosol (blue plume) emissions.

The SC400 handheld calorimeters are rugged, waterproof, single-parameter instruments designed for use in laboratory and field testing. Four types are available: chlorine ( free and total); chlorine dioxide; ammonia; and fluoride. The instruments feature easy four-button operation; a large back-lit, highly visible, indigo blue display; a real-time clock; and 16-set data logging capability. These features are superior to what is offered with most price-competitive units. The system also has a user-calibration mode that permits calibration with respect to prepared standards.
