Deep vessel level sensor
05 August, 2008 | Endress+Hauser Australia Pty Ltd
To measure levels beyond 12 m distances in storage vessels, users had two primary options: use complex 4-wire ultrasonic devices or install expensive radar-based instruments. Now, Endress+Hauser have launched the Prosonic M FMU 44 — a 2-wire loop-powered, non-contact ultrasonic level sensor that measures levels in tanks and silos up to 20 m.
Micro-graphic panels

The C-more micro-graphic panel line now includes 6" display models. The new touch-style graphic/text panels offer a 320 x 240 pixel graphical display that supports bitmap files. Used in a horizontal orientation, the 6" C-more micro supports 40 lines by 80 characters of static text, and 53 lines by 60 characters are supported in vertical orientation.
Liquid-cooled drive
05 August, 2008 | Rockwell Automation Australia
The energy-efficient liquid cooling of the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 700L drive allows it to be installed in conditions where air-cooled drives simply could not operate. These include dusty environments or those where increases in climate control costs would be excessive. Applications, which can benefit from this technology include HVAC and chillers, pumping applications, oil and gas, and marine propulsion.
