The Foxboro 84S Vortex 3A-authorized sanitary vortex flowmeters are for use in sanitary liquid, gas, or steam pharmaceutical applications. It provides accuracies of ±0.5 percent of reading with liquids, and ±1.0 percent of reading with gas and steam.

Using on-board data archival, the Fast Analog module increases system throughput by reducing the overhead required in collecting high-speed data. Featuring four archiving inputs and two outputs, the module generates extremely fast sample rates, while decreasing backplane traffic for optimized system performance.

PhidgetAccelerometer provides vibration, tilt, and acceleration sensing. The module is calibrated at the factory and comes ready to use; it connects to a PC or a MAC through the USB port. The product is designed for quick prototyping and can be used in a wide variety of applications.

The 6.2mm wide PLC relay interface consists of a base terminal block and a pluggable relay. The heavy-duty long life electromechanical relays are rated for AC or DC circuits and are ideal for all types of inductive applications. The pluggable relays can be replaced quickly and economically without having to remove the wiring.

The XPort Direct embedded device gateway is a complete, miniaturized communications subsystem targeted at applications that need to move commands, status and information over IP networks or the Internet, to or from remote devices.

The LRX Low-Power Temperature Transmitter is suitable for oil and gas well-heads and similar installations where line power is not available. With an exceptionally low power consumption of only 3mA, the LRX mounts in remote or infrequently accessed field locations where solar or battery power systems are used.

RCML15 compact optical encoder provides signals for brushless motor commutation as well as incremental position feedback in a low profile (0.350” height) optical encoder.

Operational Insight Lite, a software tool to acquire, display, and analyze OPC data, is available as a free download to a limited number of beta users in February, then will be free to all in April. It includes the ability to access both real-time and historical data.

This new addition allows users of all Varian GC or LC/MS systems running MS Workstation to calibrate their data for accurate mass using Cerno’s MassWorks software. MassWorks opens and processes the Varian MS Workstation data from the native Varian SMS and XMS data files. This eliminates the need for importing or exporting MS data to the clipboard or utilizing intermediate exchange formats.

The new color offerings include dedicated tools for color sorting, color identification and color monitoring. These tools provide reliable color detection in automated inspection and quality assurance applications.

The "flat tip" design allows the use of larger conductors, which will reduce fouling in applications where suspended solids are present. The DMP integrated sensor pre-amplifier has been relocated from the probe tip to the top of the probe and permits separation of up to 990' (297 m) between the sensor probe and the Dynasonics Series MFX electronic analyzer.

M8 sensor distribution boxes are now available in a PUC and PVC cable version, a version with M12 connectors for common power connections along with sensor signals, and a version with terminal blocks, allowing for field wiring installation by the customer.

IOB 49 and 89 work with the company's counters for applications on any machine tool, including milling, turning, boring and drilling machines up to three axes.

The SWIMS (Simple Wireless Information Management System) programmable data collection and satellite telemetry platform is suitable for remote and offsite monitoring. The unit features multiple analog, digital, RS232 serial, pulse, and frequency inputs. An optional power pack adds a 10 watt solar panel and sealed battery with digital charge regulator for a fully self contained system.

Engineered with a Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) based thermal sensor, the 4800 Series delivers fast response to changes in gas flow rate. The MEMS sensor achieves extremely fast response rates compared to typical thermal technologies by allowing the gas to flow directly across the sensor. The compact sensor also enables a reduction in size compared to traditional thermal mass flow devices.

The SPA2 alarm trips accept input signals from transmitters, temperature sensors, resistance and potentiometer devices, and direct millivolt sources. They provide on/off control, warn of trouble, and provide for emergency shutdown by sending up to four relay outputs when a monitored process signal falls outside a user-selectable high/or low limit. The SPA2 is FM-approved for use in hazardous locations.

The boards offer 8 analog output channels with maximum update rates of 100 kHz per channel (800 kHz per board), 1500 Volts of isolation, one D/A per channel (allows simultaneous D/A updates), double buffering, low glitch outputs, and three utility digital I/O channels. The boards work with the company's PowerDNA data acquisition system.

National Instruments released six USB modules for high-speed and low-speed/fault-tolerant Controller Area Network (CAN) and Local Interconnect Network (LIN) monitoring, logging and testing,

The GE680 runs 200+ frames per second at VGA resolution and even faster at lower resolutions -- up to 1500 fps when using a 25x25 region-of-interest. The camera complies with the AIA GigE Vision interface standard making it easy to integrate into real world applications, such as machine vision, industrial inspection, test and measurement, and motion capture.

Pile Driver inductive proximity sensors are available in a Remote Amplifier version. These sensors can operate in temperatures ranging from -25 to 70°C. They have an 8mm diameter housing, offer a nominal sensing range of 1.5mm and can be wired either sinking or sourcing. Just 23mm in length, these shielded sensors are fully flush mountable and are suited for space restricted applications in harsh environments such as those found in the welding and metal forming industries, among others.
