LOW-COST PHYTOS 31 LEAF WETNESS SENSOR HELPS TO PREVENT PLANT DISEASES AND INFECTIONS
Sensor for use by researchers as well as in agriculture and horticulture. This accurate sensor benefits from automatic thresholds and therefore eliminates the guesswork that would be required when deciding whether or not to spray crops if a resistance grid sensor was being used to monitor leaf wetness. Determining leaf wetness with better accuracy helps to prevent plant diseases and infections, which, in turn, avoids entire crops from being lost or yields reduced. It also saves money by reducing the use of fungicides. With its clever simulated leaf, the PHYTOS 31 detects the onset and duration of leaf
L
wetness. It is simple and quick to set up and, if required, can be readily incorporated within a comprehensive data acquisition system.

DANISENSE PARTNERS WITH NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS
applications, has revealed that National Instruments (NI) - a global leader in automated test and measurement systems – has selected Danisense products as its preferred current measurement sensor family for use with its RM-26999 4-channel power measurements conditioner. The Danisense DS50UB-10V, DS200UB-10V, DS600UB-10V and DS2000UB-10V current transducers features high accuracy, high bandwidth and low phase shift which are key requirements for accurate power measurement. National Instruments’ RM-26999 is a rack-mounted, signal conditioning device that
D
connects to simultaneous-sampling multifunction I/O devices for power measurements. It features four voltage input channels with peak voltages up to 2,000 V and four current transducer ports for current measurements. The current transducer ports are optimized for flux-gate transducers by providing all the power, communication, and signal lines required for accurate measurements. The RM-26999 can be used with the modular PXI platform, allowing test engineers to synchronize mixed measurements with their power analysis in one unified system.

HPC- HIGH PERFORMANCE CORIOLIS FROM KOBOLD
I
t is common practice to use single pipe coriolis flow meters to measure very small
flow rates. This however causes a dramatic increase in the influence of external interferences, often necessitating a costly decoupling. The weight influence of the sensor coils compared to the weight of the measuring pipes is significant and due to the mechanical measurement principle the relation of the pipe diameter to the weight of the sensor coils primarily defines the limits of the construction. As the first worldwide, we have pierced these limits by providing a coriolis sensor
concept with sensor coils mounted between, rather than on the pipes. Extremely lightweight magnets are mounted onto the pipes. This provides the sensor with a significantly noise-reduced and predictable dynamic behaviour, capable of working at higher frequencies, so further decoupling the sensors measurement from external vibrations. Furthermore, up to 4 sensor coils are positioned between the pipes, increasing the
resolution accordingly. With these characteristics, the new HPC Coriolis Sensor is therefore not only extremely accurate, but also particularly resistant against external interferences.

hazardous and non-hazardous industrial applications. The modular design reduces process downtime and overall operations expenditure while improving safety and boosting performance by optimizing plant control and availability. The low power high-performance transmitter is built around single sensor interchangeable modular plug-and-play technology. This means that a major benefit of the AWT210’s modular design is its ability to handle future sensor technologies such as ABB’s digital EZLink sensors. By simply upgrading the transmitter with the necessary module, operators can avoid the cost and time of purchasing and installing new transmitter units. Operational simplicity is at the heart of the AWT210. Based on ABB’s common intuitive HMI, users can easily navigate the device. Easy setup menus provide step-by-step guidance and routine calibration tasks can be initiated at a touch of a button. The AWT210 pH and conductivity systems ensure optimal safe performance in the harshest of applications. This combined with greater user flexibility and environmental compliance make them ideal for the oil and gas, pulp and paper, metals and mining and chemical and petrochemical industries. The highly flexible transmitter design enables the same unit to be used with pH, redox (ORP) and
