speed improvement in some applications. Oracle database support now utilises the latest
BLOB/CLOB technology for embedded documents in order to meet the latest IT requirements. As an added bonus, a new IndySoft email server application allows for all emails to be funneled through one central server – eliminating the need for clients to have their own specific email settings for each workstation. “In order to encourage every customer to upgrade
IndySoft has announced a new release of IndySoft Version 11. The release adds over 70 new features, a faster interface, Unicode and multi-lingual support, and uncertainty and tooling features included in every client license. With this, they also announced a simplified pricing structure with perpetual licence, monthly cloud hosting and self-hosted subscription based options. “We are very excited about our new cloud based option,” notes chief technology officer, Rhett Price. “Our customers can have the same experience whether they are in a lab or on site on a mobile device. Another bonus is that they will always have access to the latest version. Upgrades for the latest enhancements, features and security updates can quickly and easily be pushed to all users on the system.” Version 11 introduces an optimised cache
system for speeding up network database access and a new faster option for accessing the client from a shared network drive. These optimisations provide greater robustness and over three times
to this new version, we have decided to include the older Version 8 “Classic” application in a new updated Version 11 form. We understand some long-time customers being hesitant to upgrade to the new look and feel of our Dashboard application introduced in Version 9; however, Version 11 now allows all customers to migrate to this latest version and still continue to work with the older application look and feel,” says Price. IndySoft will be offering free Customer Web Training to encourage existing users to begin utilising the enhanced functionality found in the new Dashboard interface. Now included as a part of the IndySoft product line
is the formerly optional Uncertainty and Trend Analysis Modules. These functions have become a critical requirement for Enterprise and Commercial Lab customers provoking the integration into the product at no additional cost. At the close of 2017, IndySoft will start shipping
German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese versions of the software. With the new Version 11 release, customers can already begin performing their own translations of the IndySoft Client.

The Magres EAM580 and EAM360 are the latest absolute encooders from Baumer. Their maximum angular accuracy of ±0.15º ensures reliability for process control for applications which previously required optical encoders. The small size of the Magres encoders means

they fit into the tightest spots while the modular design means that the 36mm option utilises the same large ball bearings as the 58mm version which helps to ensure a consistent and robust performance. Another feature is the bearing less encoder kit where the magnet motor is installed separately as an individual component which means without bearings, the encoder operation is virtually wear-free. Installation is also simplified as the multi-turn variants feature a 2mm wide air gap.
provides optimum resistance to shocks of up to 500g, vibration up to 30g and also high immunity against external magnetic fields. Furthermore, the large, widely spaced ball bearings are able to withstand radial and axial shaft loads up to 80N and 40N respectively while corrosion resistance to C5-M and IP67 protection is standard across all models. The EAM580 with PROFINET supports the latest
communication standards to OPC UA, ensuring reliable and non-reactive data exchange for different systems. This open, platform independent design allows for easier adaptation to future requirements.

are available in both S and T coding – S for an AC supply with PE connection and T for a DC supply. Both feature a plastic housing with an M16 x 1.5 fixing thread which can be panel mounted by either direct screwing or by a fixing
nut. Protection can be up to IP68 when mated. The new connectors have
gold plated contacts rated at 12A – 63VDC, 630VAC – terminated with low contact resistance single wire AWG 16 Litz cable in standard lengths of 200mm. Other wire lengths can be requested.

TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS SENSORS
With OPTISENS TSS 3000 and 7000 and MAC 300, KROHNE adds two new total suspended solids (TSS) sensors and a transmitter to its analytical portfolio. OPTISENS TSS 3000 is a total suspended solids sensor for wastewater applications in various industries with 11
⁄4 inch NPT thread to
fit into a retractable or immersion assembly. OPTISENS TSS 7000 is a total suspended solids sensor for hygienic applications with Tri-Clamp or VARIVENT process connection, e.g. in milk separation, fruit processing and other food and beverage applications. It can also be used for hygienic concentration measurement in other process industries. Both the OPTISENS TSS 3000 and
7000 are glass free optical sensors with multiple path lengths for various concentration ranges. They use alternating light 4-beam technology for a higher reliability of measurement compared to classic 2- beam technologies. Two NIR LEDs (880 nm) light sources and two detectors compensate for most errors caused by dirt, ageing or light source variations. By measuring directly through a PP layer, measurement errors and sealing problems typically caused by glass windows cannot occur. Both can be operated with the MAC 300 analytical transmitter. MAC 300 is a menu driven analytical
transmitter for OPTISENS TSS, pH/ORP and COND sensors. It can be operated with up to three different analytical sensors, processing their signals to the control system via up to six analogue 0/4...20 mA outputs, relay outputs or optional Modbus. It features a backlit LCD display, robust housing (IP66/67, NEMA 4/4X) for wall-mount or panel- mount installation, optional live trending and data logging, and an SD card slot to save parameter sets or upload new firmware.
