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.

Open channel flow meters are measurement instruments used to monitor the flow of open bodies of water, such as storm water drains, canals and rivers. These measurements can be used to provide crucial data to inform how local water migration can affect local infrastructure.

Pumping in marine applications requires a high degree of manufacturing quality to ensure safety and reliability, thereby preventing major failures and shutdowns during operation at sea. Supporting components of these pumps, such as variable speed drives, are no different.

Residual Current Circuit Breakers (RCCBs), sometimes referred to as Residual Current Devices (RCDs), are important safety components in electrical systems. The RCCB's main purpose is to detect any level of earth leakage current and disconnect the power supply from the electrical system to prevent fire and electric shock hazards.

Invertek have designed and built a variable speed drive to support remote, off-grid water pumping applications for rural and agricultural applications. The Optidrive P2 Solar Pump VSD is a variation of the Invertek OptiDrive P2 Performance VSD range, designed for the rigours of remote applications.
