  • SICK releases capacitive sensor for liquids and bulk materials

    SICK releases capacitive sensor for liquids and bulk materials

    The CQ28 programmable capacitive sensor detects liquids and bulk materials through non-metallic walls at sensing distances of up to 10 mm. A typical application is fill level detection in tanks, containers or pipe systems for all types of media (liquids, solids and powders). Its IP 68 housing ensures dependable function under almost all operating conditions.

  • Beckhoff Automation adds OPC Unified Architecture to control software

    Beckhoff Automation adds OPC Unified Architecture to control software

    TwinCAT automation software now conforms to OPC UA (Unified Architecture). The new OPC UA standard is based on TCP communication and is, therefore, platform-independent. The "Unified Architecture" specification creates the basis for new platform-independent communication and information technologies.
