New Products
controller (PAC; photo, p. 31) can
be installed directly on-machine,
simplifying wiring layouts and
decreasing maintenance requirements.
This controller has four
megabytes of internal storage
space for application code and
features two Ethernet/IP devicelevel-ring
(DLR) capable connections.
The Armor GuardLogix PAC
provides access to the controllermode
switch, USB port, secure
digital (SD) card and power-supply
switch, along with 24 V d.c.
power pass-through to supply
power to other on-machine products.
This feature allows power to
be routed from one machine device
or module to another, eliminating
the need for a power supply
for each device. Mounting tabs
can be rotated vertically or horizontally.

A high-accuracy, lightweight
Coriolis flowmeter
The Sitrans FC410 (photo) is
a new Coriolis flowmeter that
features a measuring accuracy
of 0.1% of flowrate. Weighing
only 10 lb, this compact meter communicates
with all common process
control systems and can be
integrated easily into both existing
and new systems. Installation and
commissioning of the flowmeter
require only simple, one-time configuration
in the control system. If
a flowmeter is moved or additional
flowmeters are connected, the user
settings are automatically transferred.
Built-in transmitter functionalities
to the sensor permit fast
data transmission and flexible installation
in confined spaces without
the need for additional transmitters.

A bulk-materials conveyor with
favorable space utilization
The En-Masse conveyor moves bulk
materials while optimizing space
utilization with its large size-tocapacity
ratio. Useful in applications
including boiler feed, receiving,
distribution and ash handling,
this conveyor's totally enclosed
framework minimizes area dusting
and loss of material. Capable
of high-temperature operations up
to 1,000°F, En-Masse conveyors are
designed for harsh environments
and can be ordered to meet specific
plant layouts. - CDM Systems, Inc.,
