High plant availability and
simplified Profibus integration
This company just released version
1.20 of its Modbus-to-Profibus gateways
(photo), adding redundancy for
critical process-control applications,
and adding XML import for simplified
integration into Schneider Electric engineering
systems. The Modbus-to-Profibus
Gateways mbGate PA, mbGate
PB and mbGate DP enable the direct
integration of Profibus PA and DP segments
into Modbus/TCP systems.
They act as Modbus server and Profibus
master and connect up to four
Profibus PA segments, as well as one
DP segment with Modbus TCP. Version
1.20 now supports the operation
of two redundant gateways in combination
with two redundant Modbus
controllers. In this way, system availability
is ensured even in the event of a
connection failure. - Softing Industrial

Protect R&D personnel with this
ceiling-mounted filtration unit
Purair SKY ceiling-mounted filtration
units (photo) are designed to protect
laboratory personnel and the environment
in areas where hazardous
substances are handled. These units
feature a dynamic-filtration chamber
with a sliding filter clamp that allows
for simple, quick filter changes. Units
come with an epoxy-coated steel
support frame with LED lighting and
wall-mounted controls. An electrostatic
pre-filter helps trap additional
contaminants and increase filter life.
Central to the design of the Purair
SKY Series is the Multiplex Filtration
System developed to ensure universal
protection in the work environment.

The new Radioline outdoor box
(photo) can be installed directly outdoors
for quick and easy wireless
transfer of input/output (I/O) signals
and serial data. Users can select the
wireless modules (the alternatives are
868, 900 or 2,400 MHz) and the type
and number of I/O extension modules
when selecting the correct unit. The
robust, splash-proof-, and ultraviolet
(UV)-resistant housing is rated for IP66
protection and is perfect for direct installation
outdoors and can be used
for temperatures in the -25 to 55°C
range. The completely pre-wired control
box with integrated power-supply
unit, surge protection, selected wireless
module and I/O extension modules
enables intuitive commissioning
and makes configuration easier. -

This multi-gas instrument
has been enhanced
The PS200 portable multi-gas detection
instrument (photo) now features
some new enhancements. One such
improvement is a powerful new datalogging
capacity that will enable users
to capture all relevant calibration and
session data over a six-month period.
This increased capacity will improve
users' access to relevant data
while enabling quicker decisions to
be made. Another helpful addition is
the new quick-press field-calibration
mode, which saves time by simplifying
the
field-calibration
process.
Users can also visualize short- and
long-term exposures to CO and H2S,
enabling them to quickly determine
current exposure rates and take appropriate
action. - GMI, a company

A new filter press for
cost-effective filtration
For standard filtration applications,
when a short delivery lead-time and
safe, reliable operation are priorities,
the new FP-S filter press (photo) offers
efficient solid-liquid separation. It is
available in a wide range of configurations,
and is backed by the company's
technical services to ensure reliable
process performance and long equipment
lifetime. The new FP-S Filter
Press offers the same safety, reliability
and quality as the company's other
filtration solutions, but is designed for
less demanding applications that do
not require product tailoring to meet
the exact need of each process. The
FP-S filter press is suitable for a broad
