The transmitter is a true dual sensor that comes with HART 7 protocol. Also on display from PR electronics was the company’s EX d explosion proof/flame proof, field mounted HART temperature - transmitter, the 7501. Thermal mass flowmeters such as the
ESS-FLOW Meter mini CORI-FLOW ML120 were on display at the Bronkhorst UK stand. Chris Foster, Bronkhorst UK’s area sales manager, said that the ES-FLOW, which runs a script that tells a device to change the pressure to keep flow consistent, had attracted the most attention at the event.

was the VEGAPULS 69 - a sensor for continuous measurement of bulk solids under different process conditions. It is suitable for level measurement in very high silos, large bunkers and segmented vessels. For water industry applications, the VEGAPULS WLS69 is a radar sensor for continuous level measurement of water and wastewater. Binder had a range of industrial connectors and sensors for automation and robotics. The company’s products are all made in-house in Germany so customers know the products are of high quality.
