WELL-SEALED, EASY TO INSTALL MODULAR HALL EFFECT SENSORS
technology company and a leading provider of sensors, has launched the new ACW4 Single Turn and TCW4 Multi Turn Absolute Hall Effect Sensors, which feature an over-molded, two-part modular construction that provides engineers with exceptional design flexibility. The sensing electronics are encased in a thermoplastic polyamide shell while the
S
separate activating magnet is external to the sensor assembly. This modular architecture results in a compact package of only 50mm in diameter by a maximum 24mm thick that allows designers to easily incorporate the ACW4 and TCW4 sensors into both new and existing systems. An over-molded housing completely encapsulates the electronics and seals the cable entry from exposure to the elements, making this IP67- rated sensor an ideal solution for robotic, industrial, manufacturing and material handling applications where dusty or wet conditions are common.

HYGIENIC PRESSURE TRANSMITTER T
he latest hygienic pressure transmitter from ifm electronic
comes with free calibration certificate. Accuracy of 0.2% characterises
the new PM pressure transmitter from ifm electronic, but of course, there is much more than that. The PM is designed to provide an analogue signal in hygienic applications, so materials and fitting conform to the requirements of these environments. The upgraded PM offers improved accuracy and temperature compensation when compared to its predecessors, ideal for CIP sets. The 4 to 20mA analogue signal is scalable across the pressure range of the device, of
which there are twelve to cover most requirements between -1 bar and 100 bar. In addition, the IO-Link interface offers remote scaling and readout of the direct measured value without conversion losses, along with the multitude of other benefits that IO-Link brings.

NEW INTERFACES ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR LSOC AND LSOP INCLINOMETERS
N
ew interfaces are now available for Sherborne
Sensors LSOC and LSOP inclinometers including +/-5V, +/-10V, 0-10V and 4-20mA.
The LSO is a high precision gravity referenced servo inclinometer that can be used for a wide variety of industrial and military applications. Models are available in a variety of angular ranges each with low impedance output signals. Electrical terminations are via 6-way bayonet lock connector (LSOC) or solder pins (LSOP). It is extremely robust and will withstand shocks in excess of 1500g. The design is well proven with many thousands in use throughout the world in the most demanding of applications.

256-CROSSPOINT 2-POLE PXI SWITCHING MATRICES FROM PICKERING INTERFACES
for use in electronic test and verification, has launched a new range of high-density, two-pole PXI switching matrices that offer higher performance than competing products. Series 40-580 (32x8) and 40-583 (64x4) matrices are supported by both of Pickering’s relay test tools (BIRST and eBIRST), delivering sophisticated and thorough diagnostics for any relays that are approaching end-of-life or have been damaged by over-specification hot-switching events. Featuring 256 2-pole crosspoints, these matrices use gold-plated contact electro-
P
mechanical relays to switch up to 300VDC/250VAC and up to 60W maximum power; maximum current is 2A, hot or cold switching. The integrated BIRST self-test hardware provides a quick and simple way of finding relay failures within each module. No test equipment is required; simply disconnect the front panel connector, launch the BIRST application and the tool will run a diagnostic test that will find any relays with faulty contacts.

BB’s new NiTemp non-invasive temperature sensor offers a simpler and safer way of measuring process temperature without the need to shut down, drill a hole, or install a thermowell. With its innovative double sensor architecture and specially developed calculation algorithm, NiTemp greatly enhances safety and reduces installation costs without sacrificing the quality of the measurement.
The device is designed for surface measurement and eliminates the need for a thermowell, avoiding pro-cess intrusion altogether and greatly increasing the safety of people, plants, and the environment. As such, it can be used in a range of applications, including processes with hazardous media, special hygiene requirements and/or stringent cleaning requirements and high-pressure processes with high bending loads or use with abrasive media.
The NiTemp approach is inherently safe, compliant with safety standards, and simplifies environmental aspects. With the sensor able to be installed and maintained without shutting down a process, plant availability is improved and system costs are lowered, and up to 75% reduction in CAPEX costs can be achieved.
The new temperature sensor uses innovative technology with proven components, such as standard in-sets widely utilized in industry. It has been developed through direct testing and feedback from key cus-tomers in the oil and gas, chemical, and food and beverage industries. Moreover, the handling of NiTemp is easy and straightforward, from ordering to maintenance, and the common ABB look and feel with text display makes commissioning and handling easy.
The device is suitable for different media and pipe diameters and can be used in all areas of the process industry and power generation. NiTemp has global approvals for explosion protection up to zone 0. Its use with liquid media with low viscosity, high thermal conductivity and/or turbulent flow in metal pipes is particularly advantageous.
