Control Systems

Yokogawa Electric Corporation announces the launch of an enhanced version of the ProSafe-RS safety instrumented system, ProSafe-RS R1.03. To meet the latest safety instrumentation needs of the oil, petrochemical, and other industries, the remote optical communications capability has been enhanced and a digital output module and a simulation test function have been added to this new version.

Exele TopView 6.0 software provides robust, easy-to-use, cost-effective process control monitoring and precise alarm notification directly to user-designated personnel without the need for control room supervision, saving valuable time and resources.

Perfectly suited for use in a wide range of industries, due to its rugged, ultra-slim, stainless steel casing and a high clarity 15 inch screen, all of which is completely sealed to NEMA4/IP65 standards, the new fanless APC-3596 Series industrial panel PC from Datasound Laboratories is available with Intel Celeron M and Pentium M computing power from 1GHz up to 1.8GHz, supported by up to 1GB of RAM for more demanding applications.

A joint venture operation between Norward Process, specialists in the production of high purity process pipework, and Inditherm Industrial with expertise in the provision of heating solutions, has led to the production of quality heated pipework systems for the pharmaceutical, food, beverage, confectionary and chemical industries.

The interface between man and machine can have a decisive effect on productivity and efficiency. Following extensive research and development, Rittal are pleased to announce the launch of Rittal TopConsole, a new range of HMI units designed to meet the modern demands of the human/machine interface.

Entrix has been involved with providing connectivity to industrial devices for a long time. Sometimes customers need support for specific protocols and Allen Bradley is one example of this. We are pleased to offer the range of Datalink Gateways designed for this purpose

Toolpath control to optimise the running of CAM generated files, reducing running times and extending cutter life

The range of actuator positioners available from Orange Instruments now include electric, electro-hydraulic and in-actuator options. These instruments were initially designed for the control of choke and mainline valves in both upstream and downstream applications for the oil and gas industry. Further development, however, means that applications in general engineering can be accommodated, wherever hydraulic actuators are being used for control functions in a wide variety of industrial machinery. All products are suitable for OEM programmes or can be used as retro-fitted devices.

Audon Electronics now stock the CUTOUCH CT1721, an integrated Touch panel, 5.6 graphic LCD, and programmable embedded computer. Based on Comfile’s PLC-on-a-chip technology, the CUTOUCH CT1721 provides fast processing speed, 82 digital I/O ports, 8 channels of 10-bit A/D, 6 x 16-bit PWM outputs, and 80KB Flash Program memory so you can quickly develop HMI devices for industrial machines, factory temperature controllers, packing machines, robots and embedded control.
