It’s a world first for the water/wastewater industry: Endress+Hauser’s Proline Promag W electromagnetic flowmeter with the new 0 x DN full bore option delivers great measurement accuracy without any measuring tube restriction – irrespective of the flow profile or mounting location. Maximum measurement performance is indispensable for optimal process control but in some circumstances is difficult to achieve.
Weidmuller’s M12 Push-Pull distributors simplify applications in machine construction, automation and intralogistics by bundling the wiring of sensors and actuators in an IP67 environment. It combines signals and power supply via M12 sockets and drives them via an M23 collective output. Thanks to innovative quick-connect contours for M12 sockets and the M23 collective outlet, it enables fast and secure connections. Whereas the standard M12 system requires the sleeves to be laboriously screwed on and that operation is hindered by the vibration guard, M12 Push-Pull works with one click, just like those well-known garden hose systems. The audible locking function guarantees a safe and reliable connection as well as a good seal. The new SAI M12 Push-Pull distributors can be used with M12 plug-in connectors but also with the new M12 Push-Pull plug-in connectors.
