Choosing the Right Industrial Wireless Network
|
| The decision to implement wireless technology in your industrial facility is a strategic choice, enabling an infrastructure
that will provide significant benefits for your company beyond avoiding the wiring costs. The right decision will help
improve safety, optimize the plant and ensure compliance. Wireless is a complex enabling technology that requires
deliberate consideration before broad deployment in an industrial facility. This document outlines questions to consider as
you make this decision. |

Many RS-485 Users Are Unaware That They Are Placing Data at Risk
|
|
“Many RS-485 users are completely unaware that they are taking unnecessary risk with their data because of the method they use for driver control” warns Jeff Hunter, Design Engineer at Sealevel Systems. To assist users in selecting the ideal method Sealevel Systems has published a white paper: Eliminate the Risk of RS-485 Data Corruption.

Color Contrast & Luminescence Sensors
|
| As the demand for products in the world-market continues to push production, the requirements for high-speed automated processes capable of providing these
products and components at lower cost and higher quality continues to increase.
Since subjective, visual inspection techniques are clearly not conducive to highspeed
inspection and control requirements, sensors have stepped in to fill this
need.
One of the key components in this high-speed production environment are the
sensors. These devices provide the evaluation of many features and
characteristics of products at rates exceeding hundreds/second. Photoelectric
sensors offer non-contact verification with far higher reliability and speed than
contact techniques. |

Using MODBUS for Process Control and Automation
|
| MODBUS is the most popular industrial protocol being
used today, for good reasons. It is simple, inexpensive,
universal and easy to use. Even though MODBUS has
been around since the past century—nearly 30 years—
almost all major industrial instrumentation and automation
equipment vendors continue to support it in new products.
Although new analyzers, flowmeters and PLCs may have
a wireless, Ethernet or fieldbus interface, MODBUS is
still the protocol that most vendors choose to implement in new and old devices. |

“Implementing Foundation Fieldbus H1 Networks in Hazardous Areas”
|
| Company: | Moore Industries Intl., Inc. |
| The author, a professional engineer, is an experienced fieldbus user and is currently using this paper in the class he teaches on hazardous environments. The white paper first describes everything a user or systems integrator should consider about applying fieldbus in hazardous areas, then it describes how Boehringer Ingelheim Chemicals installed fieldbus equipment in its environment, a Class 1, Division 1 and 2, Groups C/D pharmaceutical plant. |

Humidity Measurement in Fuel Cell Technologies
|
| Company: | Kahn Instruments, Inc. |
| Investment in alternative fuel technologies for automobiles continues to gather pace as commercial viability becomes a reality. One of the leading technologies is fuel cells, which represents a huge step forward in fundamental technology
even though it has been in existence for at least fifty years. Moisture plays an important part in determining efficiency, quality and safety as it relates to delivery and performance of the technologies. |

Measurement and Control of Compressed Air Systems
|
| Company: | Kahn Instruments, Inc. |
| Many manufacturers processes require a constant supply of compressed air. The air may be used for many different reasons—for example the actuation and control of pneumatic valves, cylinders and controllers; operation of process machinery or tooling; as a transport medium for bulk materials; or as a purge gas. |

Moisture Measurement For Ozone Generators
|
| Company: | Kahn Instruments, Inc. |
| Historically, chlorination has been the preferred large scale method of sterilization of water. However there are significant environmental implications through the release of chlorine into the water cycle. Also, chlorine can produce harmful, carcinogenic chlorohydrocarbons as a by-product. |

Temperature Considerations When Specifying An LVDT for Applications
|
| Company: | Macro Sensors |
| In general, the stability of the LVDT output is adequate for many applications without specific concern about temperature effects. This is especially true when the LVDT is used in laboratory and industrial plant environments. On the other hand, temperature effects are generally significant in aircraft and military applications and in certain specific industrial applications. That’s why it is important to know the effects that temperature has on LVDTs. |
