‘Programmable Controller’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from Ircon, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Actuator system for sampling applications from Heason Technology: "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. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Saft Industrial Batteries - take a look at Saft shows battery technologies for telecom market which says: "Saft is demonstrating advanced battery technologies for the telecommunications market at Vietnam Comm 09.".

Take a look also at the news release from Lifebatt, Lifebatt offers high-power expertise, as well as DTS system monitors power cable temperature from Lios Technology, and Weld controller manages three transformers from Merlin Control Systems.
