Influx FloTrak metal VA flowmeter
23 September, 2011 | Duff & Macintosh
The Influx FloTrak metal VA flowmeter is designed for the measurement of gas and liquid. Fluid passing through an orifice within the tube causes a profiled float to assume a position where the forces created by flow are balanced by the weight of the float. A magnet in the float is sensed by the FloTrak system, providing a direct reading flow rate scale, optional alarms or a 4-20 mA output.

Phoenix Contact scalable fieldbus infrastructure solutions
18 September, 2011 | Phoenix Contact Pty Ltd
Preconfigured field distribution boxes allow Profibus PA or Foundation fieldbus process devices to be directly connected in the field. The stainless steel or aluminium housing modules accommodate components that permit the connection and termination of the fieldbus trunk cable. Surge voltage protection and different shielding concepts can be subsequently added. Users can freely select which types and how many modular device couplers are connected, and can also expand these at a later date.

Beckhoff EL7201 servomotor terminal for EtherCAT Terminal system
16 September, 2011 | Beckhoff Automation Pty Ltd
The EL7201 servomotor terminal for the EtherCAT Terminal system is designed for highly dynamic positioning tasks. It integrates a full servo drive including an encoder system into a 12 mm terminal. The terminal is suitable for the direct connection of servomotors up to 200 W, and combining it with servo motors from the AM3100 series enables the implementation of an inexpensive servo axis. Due to the high torque and the high, stable speed, this drive solution is suitable for pick-and-place applications and for use everywhere that high dynamics, compact design and exact positioning are required.
