New intrinsically safe
weighing instruments
Hans Turck
The HI 8100IS and the HI 8200IS are
high-performance weighing instruments
(photo) designed to operate in
all Classes, Divisions and Groups in
accordance with U.S. Underwriters
Laboratories (UL), American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) and CAN
Standards. Both instruments feature
two available power options: a.c. line
power for permanent installation in the
hazardous area; or high-performance
external rechargeable battery packs
that are easy to switch out for recharging
in the safe area. For continuous
battery power, maintaining multiple
batteries allows for fast swapping in
and out. The HI 8200IS is an advanced
indicator with checkweighing features
for manufacturing processes where
equipment operates near flammable
gases; flammable or combustible liquid-produced
vapors; or combustible
dusts or ignitable fibers. The HI 8100IS
is a basic five-button indicator designed
for use in hazardous locations.
The HI 8100IS is suitable for a range of
weighing demands, from tank-based
inventory control to batching operations.

The first Zone 2 Ethernet gateway for
this company's excom I/O system,
the new GEN-3G excom gateway
(photo), brings signals from Zone 0
at high data rates to the control system.
For the first time, all process
data can reach IT systems for analysis
and evaluation at sufficient speed
via a parallel data channel, which is
a fast and easy way of implementing
condition monitoring and predictive
maintenance. The new GEN-3G
multiprotocol device operates at high
data rates in Profinet, Ethernet/IP or
Modbus TCP networks without the
need for manual intervention. The integrated
gateway switch enables the
implementation of linear topologies
that can be connected easily in the
network to form a ring. Besides the
hardware redundancies for powersupply
units and gateways, excom
also supports redundancy concepts,
such as S2 system redundancy to
ensure maximum availability. - Hans

New 80-GHz radar level
transmitters are also compact
The new Sitrans LR100 series 80 GHz
radar transmitters (photo) are compact
instruments with a narrow beam
for flexible installations in existing vessel
openings or even non-intrusively
through plastic vessels. The transmitters'
80-GHz frequency delivers
robust, reliable measurements even
in challenging environments, such
as those with vapors, condensation,
turbulence or solids, says the company.
The custom microchip technology
delivers fast response and extremely
high sensitivity to detect even
the weakest of signals, the company
adds. The series consists of three
products:
Sitrans LR100 for
basic
measurement to 8 m; Sitrans LR110
with communication and hazardous
approvals options and range to 15 m;
and Sitrans LR120 with communication
(longest range to 30 m) and optional
submergence shield for flooding
protection. - Siemens Digital

The launch of a next-generation
ozone technology
After four years of development, this
company is now launching a new
ozone-generation
technology
that
solves many of the drawbacks associated
with conventional O3 technologies.
The new O3 generator (photo)
features a flat-plate reactor that does
not use glass, and has no corrosion
problems. The system has a small
footprint, low energy demand, high
reliability and produces O3 with high
efficiency and concentration, says the
manufacturer. The system is suitable
for use in the wastewater treatment,
drinkable water, pharmaceutical and
food-and-beverage industries for applications
such as sterilization and
disinfection in bottling processes, reverse
osmosis, marine systems, cooling
towers, laboratories and more. -
