ABB has launched ProcessMaster FEW630, a new robust and easy by utilizing a modular design that can be tailored to meet an industrial applications. Setting up and commissioning the
Best practice for high
limit safety sensors Electrical heating systems have several safety features built in to prevent dangerous situations. High-limit sensors, or safety sensors, are one of the most important. Not only do they protect people, they help keep manufacturing lines running by limiting damage to equipment and product. In this article, Jeremy Ohse at industrial heater, temperature sensor, and controller manufacturer, Watlow, explores best practice and considerations for high-limit safety sensors. Understanding safety sensors
Thermal loops consist of a heater, temperature sensor, and heater controller. The controller has a temperature setpoint, receives a signal from the temperature sensor, and modulates power to the heater to maintain the temperature setpoint. If there is a failure in the primary thermal control loop, the redundant safety sensor can tell the controller to reduce power to the heater or shut down the entire system. The most common failures are physically damaged sensors, worn out components, and pinched wires.

well as simplifying commissioning and reducing setup time, this feature helps to eliminate the possibility of errors during operation. When it comes to maintenance, continuous self-monitoring real-time diagnostic functions enable quick and easy troubleshooting. When integrated with a digital asset management solution such as the ABB Ability™ SmartMaster device management tool, the instrument plays a key role in maximizing process optimization. The ProcessMaster FEW630 is now available in the United States. It will be available in the rest of the world at the end of 2024.
A Clear Vision The ARMADEX Ex-M OZC-3 Explosion Proof Digital Camera

irritation for the wearer. It is therefore imperative that temperatures are recorded during the cycle. Tinytag thermocouple data loggers are ideal for use in this application, as their thermocouple probes offer fast response monitoring
Ocular prostheses are custom made for patients when there is an absence the patient by an ocularist. NHS ocularists working in the Department of Ocular Prosthetics at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital are responsible for fabricating fabrication process is the heat curing cycle, in which the medical grade acrylic which the prosthetic eyes are made out of is exposed to high temperatures so that it hardens and is suitable for wear.
The ocularists use Tinytag Ultra 2 thermocouple data loggers to monitor temperatures during the heat curing cycle to ascertain that the acrylic has
If the acrylic is not cured properly, the material does not harden fully and remains porous, resulting in monomer leaking out of the acrylic and causing

To monitor the heat curing cycle, the data logger’s thermocouple probe measures the temperature within the heat curing tank, while the data logger itself remains outside the tank recording the readings taken by the probe. The data from each cycle is downloaded, viewed and analysed using Tinytag Explorer software. If the temperatures are found to have fallen outside the desired parameters, indicating that the acrylic may have not cured properly, the cycle is repeated to ensure that the prosthesis is properly cured. Using Tinytags to monitor temperatures during the heat curing cycles gives the team at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital peace of mind that the acrylic has cured properly and therefore will give the best possible results for their patients. Feedback from the department states that the service they receive from
Tinytag Ultra 2 Thermocouple data loggers are compatible with K, J, T and N response monitoring in high temperature applications.
