Phoenix Contact: Integrate Industrial Bluetooth Low Energy Sensors

February 8, 2021

The compact FL BLE 1300 wireless module with integrated antenna from Phoenix Contact connects up to eight industrial Bluetooth Low Energy sensors to industrial controllers and IoT systems.

This allows access to sensor data from a machine control system, for example. The acquired operational data and information form the basis for innovative IoT applications intended to optimize production processes.

The IP65/IP67/IP68 degree of protection, extended temperature range, and robust M12 connections enable reliable and durable operation, even in industrial environments that already include sensors. Easy mounting via two drill holes directly onto a housing panel also saves time and money. Maintenance- and wear-free transmission also helps reduce downtimes.

    High Performance Natural Gas Distribution Flowmeter Now Part of Endress+Hauser Lineup

    Just added to the Endress+Hauser Canada product portfolio, the multiple award-winning FLOWSIC500 compact ultrasonic flowmeter offers natural gas distributors and gas processors industry recognized excellence in custody transfer and delivery point metering that requires no routine maintenance. Developed by SICK, Endress+Hauser’s new strategic partner for process automation, FLOWSIC500 now is sold and supported solely by the latter and by Endress+Hauser authorized representatives. Unlike mechanical positive displacement gas flowmeters, FLOWSIC500 has no moving parts to fail and no bearings to oil or oil reservoirs to fill. The meter’s on-board diagnostics are constantly monitoring the instrument’s health, sending an alarm in the case of contamination or a change in the performance of its electronic components; maintenance only is required if it signals a need. That makes it a rugged, reliable and low-maintenance device with time-proven technology assuring long service life with continuing operator cost savings.

  • Hammond: Datawind Filterfans – DPF Series

    Hammond Introduces New Datawind Filter Fans – DPF Series. Features: Maintains a UL Tested NEMA Type 12 seal against enclosure. Externally mounted for space restricted installations such as control panels and IT equipment racks. 30-degree slope top housing to avoid dust collection. IEC power connector 6-foot-long cable – NEMA 5-15P (115V) and IEC C14 (230V). Thermostat with 13-foot-long cable allows for placement near heat sensitive locations. Maintenance LED indication light shows filter status. Plastic components made from strong, heat resistant (ABS-FR), UL94-V0 fire approved material. Fluted filter-mat provides longer service life, holding more dust before impeding airflow extending the mean time between maintenance; especially critical for those located in less accessible areas. Metal housing offered in White (RAL 9003) and Black (RAL 9004) with complementary plastic fan grill. NOTE – Datawind fan packages pressurize cabinets (push air in), so an exhaust location is needed as a path for heat to escape the cabinet. See table below for exhaust filter options.
