Measurement & Monitoring
From Modbus to the Cloud
Every day seems to bring a new request to
connect a Modbus device to our SmartHub™
in order to give clients that rich functionality,
to monitor, manage and inform. All done
remotely, real time and on-line. So how do
we get Modbus Controllers talking to the
CDL SmartHub™ so quickly, securely and
seamlessly?
Once the NanoULTRA is connected to your
target device (RS232 or RS485) and powered
up, all of the configuration work is then done
via the SmartHub, there is no need to connect
to the device directly with a PC to configure
Modbus communications. This can all be
achieved, securely via any browser/Smart
Device.
CeramTec goes with the flow
with fully-integrated flow body
and ultrasonic sensor solution
CeramTec has streamlined the design process
for manufacturers of domestic and industrial
water metering systems with the release of a
new flow body component which features an
in-built 2MHz ultrasonic sensor.
Available in a range of materials, including
lead-free brass to ensure compliance with
the applicable water-safety legislation,
CeramTec has the design capability to develop
bespoke products to meet specific customer
requirements.

Mounted any way you need
it: compact flow sensor with
rotatable display from EGE
Gettorf – For flow measurement of water and
water-based media in large pipes, sensor
specialists EGE launch the new SNS 552 flow
sensor that features an I/O-Link interface and a
digital display.
The compact device facilitates fast readout
of flow volumes by showing liter or cubic
meter measurements on a display that can
be rotated for better visibility. In addition,
the responsive sensor is highly resistant
to temperature variations and provides
integrated temperature measurements in a
range from 0 to +80 °C.

New PT900 Portable Flow Meter
from GE Panametrics
More than redundant: Special
encoder with three separate
measuring systems
Berlin – Sensor specialist FSG presents the new
special magnetic encoder series MH680-III-
MU-G which provides maximum reliability
through multiple redundancy.
The device enclosures are manufactured from
Hart-Coat aluminium and provide corrosion,
shock and vibration resistance. Thanks to their
wide temperature range of -30 °C to +80 °C
and IP67 ingress protection they are suitable
for even the most demanding environments.
The new encoder features a resolution of 14 bit
and covers a measuring range of 0-360°. Signal
output is provided per channel via a 4-20 mA
current interface. FSG provides each channel
with its own membrane keypad for signal
setting, therefore allowing for independent
calibration of every signal output.

Dual laser infrared thermometer
The high-performance, handheld OS758-LS
dual infrared thermometer from Omega is
a non-contact temperature measurement
instrument.
The OS758-LS offers a wide array of features
including adjustable emissivity, color backlit
LCD, 60:1 distance to spot, hi/ low temp alarm,
max/min/avg/ diff temperature monitoring
and data storage. This meter is also designed
with a microSD card slot (SD card included).
The OS758-LS offers a rugged design that is
shatterproof at 1 m (3.3’) with an ergonomic
rubber boot handle. A Type K thermocouple
input is included for contact measurements,
often used to verify emissivity.

PECM Issue 27
The PT900 is the latest generation of portable
clamp on flow meters from GE Panametrics.
It has been designed based on its successful
predecessor, the PT878, and still features the
same high performance. The user interface,
clamping fixtures and transmitter have all
undergone a complete redesign to make them
even more user friendly allowing an accuracy of
±1% of reading to be achieved.
The PT900 uses wireless Bluetooth® technology
to communicate with the transmitter and
tablet. The free app is available from Google
Play and features a setup guide wizard to
achieve quick setup and measurements within
minutes.
