Radar level sensor transmitters are sensitive devices that can measure the level of liquids or solids stored by using electromagnetic radio microwaves. In a recent case, a major energy provider faced operational challenges with its coal slag chutes due to its radar transmitters consistently losing signal due to signal interference whenever the agitator was running. The signal loss resulted in false level readings and automatic system responses that required manual intervention — a major productivity setback, thereby necessitating replacement of its existing radar transmitter.

Pressure transmitter manufacturer ESI Technology in the UK have some products that can only be adjusted with specific knowledge and special software, such as the GD4200 digital pressure sensors with a USB port.

Current transmitters provide accurate current signal measurements to monitor, improve efficiency, and optimise energy consumption. The split core current transmitters are designed to allow the core to be opened and closed around a conductor without interfering with the circuit, thus facilitates easy installation. AC current transmitters, on the other hand, measure alternating current (AC) in a circuit and convert it into DC signal, typically 4-20mA or 0-10V output

Define Instruments manufactures no-fuss, high accuracy temperature controllers designed for Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) probes – ideal for a variety of indication and alarm control temperature applications.

Integrating safety relays as part of your automated process ensures that human users, production equipment, and resources remain protected against system failures.

Mining environments have critical temperature requirements to ensure workers’ safety. ADM recently supported a mining customer to assess the temperature at multiple equally spaced locations down a newly drilled blast hole safely, accurately and quickly with a custom-made solution.

Some wireless 4-20mA signal transmitters applications require the antenna and/or cables to be extended. Below you will find what is required to extend your Twin Link P2P device's RF cable length, as well as a guide for when you need to add an external waterproof antenna for it.

Tripping is a safety mechanism designed to stop your variable speed drive (VSD) and the connected motor before damage occurs. If your VSD trips during operation, turn the power off and read your VSD instruction manual before turning your VSD back on for safety.

The following guide dives into the details on how to utilise the CANopen protocol to communicate with an Optidrive P2 Variable Speed Drive, both reading and writing data to and from the device, in order to control the drive effectively.

Measuring the flow of pipelines can help determine the efficiency of a system, identifying potential maintenance issues, such as blockages or leaks, or even used as a quality data input to support another aspect of a production process.
