Make Devices Talk—Literally
The UV1000-PM universal verbalizer provides a creative solution for process monitoring almost any type of measurement with speech, display and alarming, says the vendor. With more than 100 built-in audible engineering units, it can verbalize and display process signals such as 0-to-10VDC, 0-to-20mA or 4-to-20mA, and type J, K, T, and R thermocouple signals. A built-in speaker and external loudspeaker provides clear sound of the verbalized signals while the unit is connected to the sensors or other measurement and control devices. Features include dual alarm outputs with adjustable dead band, scalable analog input, multi-color LED display, PC interface software configuration and command/continuous speech selection with volume control...

Historian Ups Performance Ante
Trend Historian version 8.0 is designed to ease the task of collecting, storing, managing and automatically validating vast quantities of time series data. Available in either a 32-bit or 64-bit version, Trend Historian version 8.0 has been re-designed to maximize performance, capacities and throughputs. The writing performance on the Server exceeds 3.6 million updates (TVQs) per second, and the reading performance exceeds 13 million updates (TVQs) per second. Up to 1 million tags are available, while multi-threading provides an unlimited number of clients. Trend Historian compacts the data to minimize the disk storage requirements, and the data stream from the Historian returns the exact data stream that was sent... Read more
Simplify PLC Data Transfers
Designed to reside in a single slot of a Rockwell Automation ControlLogix chassis, the Message Manager (ILX56-MM) module is a multi-system data transfer engine that allows users to transfer PLC data from OEM equipment to a Rockwell Automation PAC/PLC without modifying the OEM’s code. The module acts as an aggregator of data transfers between multiple PLCs by pulling all data transfer code into one location. It requires no special software to support or maintain. For configuration, the module uses a built-in graphical Web-based tool... Read more
Powerful Stepper Motors
Five new 86mm flange stepper motors have holding torque values ranging from 4.0 to 13.6Nm, with design and control that enables high-precision and cost-effective positioning without an encoder system, says the vendor. The 80MPH series stepper motors with an 86mm flange, as well as the 56mm 80MPD series motors are said to be among the most powerful motors currently available on the market in regard to holding torque and length. Equipped with an aluminum housing, the NEMA 34 motors are able to transport thermal power dissipation with low thermal resistance, reducing motor heating and increasing bearing lifespan... Read more
Measure Dirty Gas Streams
The Multi-Trak Model 670S duct and stack mass flowmeter measures mass flow rates in very large ducts or stacks that have non-uniform velocity profiles, high turn-down requirements, dirty gas streams, wide temperature ranges and fast velocity and temperature changes. The flowmeters use up to four independent mass flow sensing points to measure the instantaneous average gas mass flow velocity. The flow meters provide an accuracy of +/-1% reading plus 0.5% of full scale, one-second response to changes in flow rate, and patented Dry-Sense Technology designed to eliminate sensor drift...
