New High performance voltage transducer

Here's the new VTD Series high-performance voltage transducer.

Packaged in a compact and easy-to-install 35 mm wide DIN-rail enclosure, the VTD series senses voltage in a variety of DC powered installations, including motors, battery chargers, and photovoltaic arrays. These voltage transducers help avoid motor overheating by detecting below normal voltage conditions, and detect voltage conditions that can stress or damage starter components.

VTD voltage transducers can be used on circuits from 0-15 v DC to 0-600 v DC to satisfy a range of voltage monitoring needs. Fully isolated and industry standard 4-20 mA loop-powered output makes use with existing controllers, data loggers, and SCADA equipment easy and reliable, the firm says. Additionally, input and output circuitry is fully isolated to maximize operational safety.

New oil field work stations

New VisuNet Industrial 900 Series operator work stations are built to withstand even the harshest oil field operating conditions, including high shock and vibration.

These 15 in. or 19 in. monitors are encased in a thin but rugged NEMA 4/4x stainless or painted steel slim housing suited for Class I, Division 2 hazardous area installation. The enclosure design mitigates heat without the need for venting or cooling fans. Units feature a glove friendly touch screen and are available in transflective models for clear outdoor viewing.

These work stations can be ordered to meet the existing communication infrastructure of the application. The standard connectivity provided is Cat 5 or fiber-based KVM Monitors, Ethernet remote network monitor, or full panel PC. Their adaptable design enables operator work stations throughout the processing facility to have a consistent look and feel, but with different functions.
