‘Ethernet Connection’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Actuator system for sampling applications from Heason Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Heason Technology has launched a low-cost modular actuator range for pick-and-place and sample dispensing in life science and other analytical equipment applications. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Liquiphant accurately measures liquid levels from Endress+Hauser: "Endress and Hauser's Liquiphant is a vibrating level switch for accurate limit detection and point level-measurement of liquids.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Gas Data - take a look at GFM416 provides onsite biogas measurement which says: "The Atex-approved GFM416 gas analyser from Gas Data is ideal for anaerobic digester applications requiring on-site measurement of biogas.".

Take a look also at the news release from Alrad Instruments, Alrad introduces GigE Vision line scan camera, as well as GE controller firmware has online programming from GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK, and Igus energy-supply system comprises 200 products from Igus UK.
