One of the key advantages 4-20mA loops offer is their ability to operate over longer distances. Many industrial communication protocols, such as Ethernet I/P typically restrict you to cable runs of no more than 100m. This is not very useful for remote applications, where you need to communicate with devices that are located some distance away. 4-20mA loops can be used for cable runs of up to 500m, more in some cases, and offer fast response times, whilst being relatively noise-immune. However, there are some important factors that you need to take into consideration in the design of your

In this blog post we give you an overview of ADM's wide range of process controllers. We carry stock of the most commonly used models. Process Controller with Ethernet I/P and Modbus TCP/IP Master The Eurotherm EPC2000, which is ideal for applications where you need a programmable single loop temperature, or process controller. The EPC2000 is a highly cost-effective process controller as it does not sport any display panels, or HMI panels that you may not need. However, it is compatible with Eurotherm’s Proface HMI touch panels. So, it is a highly flexible solution that suits many different

There are many different PLCs available, and in most cases, plant operators like to stick to one brand or type in particular. However, occasionally an application will arise where the existing PLC is probably not the best control solution available. One such scenario is applications where the PLC is required to handle multiple analogue inputs. For these applications, a Eurotherm E+PLC could be the ideal solution. Eurotherm’s strength with process control is that their standard CPU’s have enough grunt to handle many analogue inputs. The feedback we have received from customers indicates that

ADM is proud to offer the ESI range of digital USB pressure transducers in Australia.The newest model, which was released in June 2017 is the ESI GD4200-USB and ADM is believed to have supplied the very first unit! ESI GD4200-USB Pressure Transducer The GD4200-USB is the GS4200-USB pressure transducer made better! An international motor sports team is using the new ESI GD4200-USB digital pressure sensor to measure pressure in shock absorbers, so that the suspension system can be optimised to the race conditions. The ESI GD4200-USB has a faster response time than the GS4200-USB and has a

Over more than 30 years, ADM has established itself as a reliable supplier of precision test and measurement equipment and instrumentation for process and industrial automation applications. One of our key areas of expertise is Linear Position Measurement and Monitoring Solutions. You may be aware that we offer a considered range of Linear Position Transducers and Sensors. But many people don’t know that ADM offers complete linear position measurement and monitoring solutions. Different linear position measurement applications, require very different solutions. This is why we don’t just offer

The best way to answer this question is by giving you an overview of the wide range of position sensor types and brands that ADM offers to Australian industries. For over 30 years ADM Instrument Engineering has built a solid reputation across Australia as a reliable supplier of precision instrumentation for process and industrial automation applications, including position measurement solutions. Simply put, a position sensor is a device that can detect the movement of an object in a straight line (linear position sensor) or by its angular movement (rotary position sensor). ADM represents 6

Determining the anticipated accuracy of a load cell takes some thought and a variety of factors need to be considered. A Load cell’s %RO accuracy specifications are a great starting point but so are a variety other factors, such as: What indicator is being used? How does that indicator interface with other control systems in the factory? What environment is the load cell installed in and how has it been installed? %RO accuracy specification for a load cell, what does it mean? Most load cell data sheets will specify a %RO, but what is this? The answer: %RO = percent of Rated Output. For example

If you are looking for an inclinometer with a remote display, then ADM has the perfect solution. ADM offers a good range of inclinometers that are suitable for use in many different industrial angle and tilt sensing applications that also need a remote display. ADM’s most popular inclinometers are the X-Axis Seika NGxI series, that measure fixed the ranges of ±10°, ±30°and ±80° , respectively with NG2I, NG3I and NG4I. Seika inclinometers are commonly used around in Australia in many industrial applications, where high resolution is paramount. They also offer easy adjustment of the zero

One of the most common elements of process automation and environmental applications, such as hydrographic surveys, is the measurement of the amount of a liquid that may be present. There are many liquid level measurement technologies available. Not all of which will be appropriate for your application. ADM Instrument Engineering has decades of experience in this field and a white paper is available for download from the ADM website. This discusses what Hydrostatic pressure is, how Hydrostatic level measurement technology works, typical applications it is suited to, some examples of where it
