MODBUS ADDED TO MULTICOLOUR DISPLAY
POWER CONTROL TAKES RESILIENCE TO THE MAX T
BEKA associates has added an optional Modbus RTU interface to its universal multicolour display panel meters. The isolated two wire RS485 interface enables the panel meter’s display and status to be remotely read. The panel meter can also be configured via the interface, further extending applications for these new high quality instruments. Each meter has a colour selectable, five digit and
thirty one segment bargraph display visible in all lighting conditions, from bright sunlight to total darkness. The display colour can be linked to the meter’s alarm status, providing operators with a very conspicuous warning. For example, a green display could change to red when a high alarm occurs and to blue in the low alarm condition. Display colours and brightness can easily be adjusted on-site to match other instrumentation in the panel or operator’s preference. The meters accept process current, voltage and resistance thermometer inputs and versions are available for operation from a low voltage dc or a mains power supply. All models have IP66 front of panel protection. For applications in hostile and marine environments, the rugged A90-SS has a 316 stainless steel enclosure and an impact resistant toughened glass window. For installation in an open panel, the BA495 sealing kit provides IP66 rear of panel protection for A90 and A90-SS meters, including cable gland entry facilities. The meters have a wealth of standard features including minimum and maximum display memories, root extraction for flow applications and a tare function for weighing. As with all BEKA instruments, configuration is
performed via the front panel buttons using the common simple intuitive menu, or via the optional Modbus interface. Meters may be calibrated to show the input signal in engineering units without the need for an external voltage or current source, or for the meter input to be disconnected from the field wiring. A novel fully protected slide-in scale card may be marked to clearly show the display units and meter function. Accessories include dual alarms each with a change over relay output, an isolated 4/20mA output with an isolated 24V dc supply for powering a remote transmitter. Although easy to configure on-site, meters can be supplied from stock calibrated to customer’s requirement, including a customer specified printed scale card, for no additional charge.

34 JUNE 2018 | ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
he data centre market has been under increasing pressure to achieve lower total cost of ownership (TCO), where critical equipment such as uninterruptible power supply (UPS) have come under the spotlight. European manufacturer of UPS systems, Borri Italy, has now released a large 3-level transformer free power protection solution with very high efficiency up to 97 per cent and one of the smallest footprints in the market, which will be supplied in the UK by its specialist UPS partner Power Control. Extending the Borri
Ingenio Max range, also offered by Power Control, the latest 400kW units will be available for delivery in the next couple of months. The most recently released Ingenio 200kW, 250kW and 300kW units are already available and the first orders are already being installed and commissioned. Manufactured using the same high
quality components as other power protection equipment from Borri, the Ingenio Max 400kW is a testament to the company’s commitment to the development of power protection
technologies. Drawing on centuries of manufacturing excellence, Borri continues to invest over 4 per cent of its annual turnover to R&D, enabling it to drive UPS innovation and carve the future for reliable, compact and cost efficient solutions. Unlike many other UPS manufacturers, Borri has retained all of its manufacturing from its European headquarters in Italy. The company has full control over its firmware, software, PCB, mechanical and thermal design, which makes the range one of the most highly sought after. Suitable for supporting
critical facilities and data centre infrastructures, the Ingenio Max range is 2N and N+1 ready and can be paralleled up to 2.4MVA. It comes with three level green conversion and green conversion battery care as standard, the Borri
Ingenio Max series offers 97 per cent efficiency, extended battery life and the lowest TCO on the market. Centrix 2.0 cable test vans are provided
with lithium-ion batteries and 5kVA electronic generators, which means they can be used in any location, even if mains power is not available. For more information visit the website below.
