Industry Products

Vibracon S LVL-B single rod for bulk materials has a tilted piezo drive that safeguards performance. Decoupling the process connection from the oscillating movement makes the sensor insensitive to external vibration and secures reliable measurement results.

The C-Series of the K-System intrinsic safety interface is only 12.5 mm wide, has 3-port galvanic isolation and very low power dissipation.

The FieldConnex® Power Hub for PROFIBUS provides selectable rRedundancy for the Gateway and for the Power Modules. Transparency of the Gateway lets all PA-devices appear to the DCS like native DP-slaves. The motherboard-based passive design and lowest heat dissipation provides for a very long service life.

Advanced Diagnostics Module (ADM) for the FieldConnex Power Hub supervises the quality of fieldbus communication from remote at the engineering station. Typical aspects that fieldbus users deal with are proper cable termination, EMC, insulation levels or faulty hardware, all of which are pinpointed quickly and efficiently with the new Advanced Diagnostics Module.

The expansion includes adding an automatic drain option, a low temperature option for arctic applications, and a new Stainless Steel Filter. The Type 350/360/370SS Series withstands harsh environments while providing highly accurate pressure regulation and filtration. The 316 stainless steel housing and filter assemblies and fluorocarbon diaphragm construction make the series compatible with sour gas and adaptable to off shore environments.

The stainless steel front bezel makes the PPC-158T suitable for chemical plants, pharmaceutical plants, petrochemical plants, kitchens in restaurants, and many other environments that require a high level of cleanliness. Speakers and OSD functions are standard, but can be removed at the customer’s request. A choice of resistive and capacitive touch screens is available.

Raptor Vision Software programming and camera setup are accomplished on an operator Interface by selecting tools from a broad range of inspection algorithms, including high accuracy measurement, defect detection, part location, package inspection, character reading, and data matrix code reading. Vision images are displayed on the Raptor® color touch-screen interface.

The SIO-104+16.485 PC/104 module has 16 RS-485 ports. Designed to meet the core needs of PC/104 applications requiring high reliability, small size, and long-term availability, the board is perfect for a wide variety of military, commercial, and industrial applications.

ServoSoft v2.3 Servo Sizing Software has CAM Profiles, Sequence Templates and Thermal Overload Models. CAM profiles help users optimize motion profiles. Sequence Templates make it easy to define a sequence for Rotary Knives, Flying Shears and Cut to Length applications. The overload monitoring models are used to ensure Infeed Modules, Inverters and Motors do not overheat when in an overload condition for a prolonged duration.

MOST's process control system, Matrix v. 8.0, leverages Wonderware's Industrial Application Server to automatically manage and coordinate the development, modification, and deployment of control application components. Each of these components or templates contain all the information necessary for alarming, trending, historization, and security for process control tasks including PID loops, motor control, I/O interfacing, and diagnostics.

HPBT RollerDrive offers more efficient power management with a reduced nominal current of 0.83A. It includes reduced noise emissions to below 60dBA while achieving application speeds of up to 315 feet per minute. Integral thermal protection eliminates the need for any external control and the HPBT interfaces readily with Interroll’s ‘Z’ card for any type of zero pressure accumulation solution.

Z card provides self-contained intelligence to control accumulation in four conveyor application zones, including any combination of straights, merge, divert or transfer. The Z card interfaces to all Interroll RollerDrive products – both brushed and brushless solutions – significantly enhancing the control capabilities of virtually any conveyor application.

GE Fanuc has added significant Biometric capabilities to its Proficy HMI/SCADA iFIX 4.0 to enhance the safe and compliant operation of pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing processes. Biometrics, the ability to use a physical property of the operator such as a fingerprint or iris scan, can greatly reduce operator fatigue and response time.

Sensor/Actuator Cable (SAC) MINI cordsets are available with male or female contacts and as straight or angled versions. Designed to the industry standard, the 3-, 4-, and 5-position connectors are produced with standard single keying. Available as overmolded cordsets, field wireable and panel feed-through connectors, the MINI provides both design and user flexibility.

The 3B23 solenoid valve is designed for use in food service and processing applications that require media-separation. The 3B23 is compatible with a variety of media types such as water and chemicals which are contained within a valve cavity made with FDA-approved materials preventing any contact with the metal components of the solenoid operator.

CANopen LabVIEW Library makes it easy for engineers to create industrial control and measurement applications with connectivity to hundreds of industrial CANopen devices, including motion drives, sensors and distributed I/O. The new library is a collection of high-level, easy-to-use NI LabVIEW functions that convert high-speed NI Series 2 Controller Area Network (CAN) devices into fully functional CANopen master interfaces.

The LPB+ offers the option of adding an integrated geared pulley drive system. The belt pulley eliminates the need for a right angle gearbox, couplings and/or additional bearings - in turn, reducing cost, increasing performance, and reducing parts and engineering time for the system.

the Aport-211W enables RS-232/422/485 serial devices to be monitored and controlled through standard Web browsers without the need to install dedicated application software. The Aport-211W provides a transparent data channel between a serial device and the TCP/IP network, making the serial device accessible using standard TCP/IP protocols. The Aport-211W can function as a TCP server, TCP client, or even a UDP node on a network.

PlantTriage Performance Supervision Software now supervises Model Predictive Controllers (MPC). PlantTriage uses economic information and controller data to calculate assessments that quickly indicate if the MPC controller is continuing to provide a high return on investment. Without performance supervision in place, MPC controller performance often degrades over time, even to the point of being disabled by operations.

Requirements Gateway software links common requirements management tools such as Telelogic DOORS, IBM Rational RequisitePro and Microsoft Word to NI software development environments, including NI LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, NI TestStand and MATRIXx. Requirements Gateway significantly improves the quality and efficiency of designing new products by enabling requirements traceability from documentation to implementation.
