Emerson reduces complexity in safety instrumented system installation and operation
E
merson Process Management has transformed safety systems by combining the proven performance and reliability of the DeltaV™ Safety Instrumented System (SIS) with the installation flexibility and space savings of its Electronic Marshalling technology.
This
new SIS offering greatly simplifies design,
installation,
wiring and commissioning of SIS projects, while at the same time increasing capacity and reducing footprint. Based on Human Centered Design (HCD) principles, the new Logic Solver architecture uses Electronic Marshalling and CHARM technology to eliminate the need for conventional marshalling, which simplifies both installation and commissioning processes.
The system can be
implemented as a standalone SIS solution, natively integrated as part of a DeltaV installation, or connected to any DCS. This was a logical step in helping customers tackle the complexity of designing, implementing and operating safety systems.

curtain range to permit pallet loading and unloading into light guarded areas, such as infeed and outfeed conveyor systems, whilst protecting the safety of personnel. The M4000 FLT multiple light beam entry and exit protection system is supplied with an easy to connect FLT ground loop detection system that can be configured to recognise forklifts and pallet trucks permitted to enter a protected area. “Loading and unloading of pallets in hazardous areas around machines has always presented problems when trying to restrict personnel access. By the very nature of their size, pallet conveyors offer ample opportunity for either intentional or unsuspecting access to hazardous machinery by people,” explains Seb Strutt, Senior Product Manager for Sick UK. “Sick worked closely with customers to develop a solution that restricts human access but allows
New Fork Lift Truck Detection Capability for Sick’s M4000 Safety Light Curtains S
ICK UK has added a new fork lift truck (FLT) detection capability to its leading M4000 light
FLTs to pick up and drop off loads across a light-guarded perimeter without triggering machine shut- down.” The versatile M4000 FLT can be used in both indoor and outdoor applications. The FLT ground loop detection system incorporates an IP65 enclosure with connection cables and controllers for two independent loop detection systems.
Installation simply requires the loop controller channels to be
connected to the M4000’s IP67 connection box. Configurable muting functions enable each application to be tuned for difficult and challenging entry and exit monitoring tasks with far greater versatility than is possible with conventional optically- based muting systems. The total mute time limit and a variety of override features can be configured to maximise the availability of the system. The M4000 has quick and easy M12 connections for multiple types of muting sensor. The new M4000 FLT conforms fully to the requirements of EN ISO 13849-1, and the complete system can be purchased with a SISTEMA Performance Level (PL) calculation for applications up to PLd.

ATLITE's new CLK-LED work light is resistant to water, oil, dust and chemicals. With 2,100 Lux it has an unusually high luminous intensity for perfect illumination of the workplace. The specialist for visual and audible signalling devices offers its newest work light in an aluminium or stainless steel housing, depending on the area of application. The aluminium version is water-, dust- and oil-tight and therefore ideal for use in rough environments, such as engineering shops and production halls. The version with the stainless steel housing is also water- and dust- tight and resistant to chemicals, which makes it suitable for use in the medical, chemical and food industries. The special design of the light fixture prevents dust from accumulating. Water and oil simply slide off the surface. The surface of the light glass, available in
tempered or acrylic glass, is also easy to clean.
Patlite's newest LED work light complies with protection classes IP 67G, IP 68G and IP 69K.

Castell improves manufacturing process to reduce delivery times
I
ndustrial safety specialist Castell (
www.castell.com) has redesigned its manufacturing process to increase flexibility and reduce delivery times. As a result, the company has received the Manufacturing Excellence award for 2012 from its parent company Halma, beating off competition from 40 other Halma subsidiaries. According to Halma, “Castell has transformed its manufacturing capability through a combination of product design innovation, excellent application of lean manufacturing and an ambition for international expansion. Today it has an incredibly efficient UK manufacturing base and an assembly shop in the Halma China hub, which is now making the majority of company output.” Traditionally, trapped key interlocking systems could only be produced once the key coding details had been received, leading to long delivery times while the system was confirmed. Three years ago Castell introduced the end-coding system, which meant that products could be built and then coded at the end of the manufacturing process. This dramatically reduced the time in which products could be delivered.

emperature and humidity typically need to be monitored and data recorded to ensure that conditions are within specified tolerances. This is often a requirement of Quality Management Systems in laboratories,
T test facilities, print rooms,
production and storage areas and during product transportation. The Rotronic compact temperature and humidity stand-alone logger (HygroLog HL-20D) is the perfect solution, providing precise and repeatable measurements. The logging interval is configurable from 5 seconds to 1 hour, long battery life enables measurements to be recorded for many months. An LC backlit graphical display shows temperature and humidity values clearly. HW4 validated software is used to program settings and download recorded data (USB interface), a charting facility is included together with statistical data analysis.
