Application Note: Ethernet Protocols for Industrial Automation Sensors

Posted under Blog, Hazardous Environment Options, Tilt Sensors

Industrial Ethernet protocols are playing a growing role in automation, as they offer a number of advantages over traditional fieldbus protocols such as CANopen and PROFIBUS. Industrial Ethernet protocols are based on standard Ethernet technology, which provides a number of benefits, including:

Analog Sensors – Now monitored (easily) in the Cloud

Posted under Blog, Hazardous Environment Options, Tilt Sensors

The Trumeter IoT Gateway is a device that allows you to connect your analog sensors to the internet for remote monitoring and data collection through the Trumeter Cloud platform. It is a plug-and-play device that supports up to four analog inputs and includes free access to the Trumeter Cloud dashboard.

Technical Note: Intrinsically Safe vs. Inherently Safe Sensors

Posted under Blog, Hazardous Environment Options, Tilt Sensors

Intrinsically safe (IS) sensors are designed to operate safely in hazardous areas where there is a risk of explosion. IS sensors limit the amount of electrical and thermal energy that can be released in the event of a fault, to a level below that which is capable of igniting flammable gases, vapors, or dust.

Introduction to Intrinsically Safe Sensors

Posted under Blog, Hazardous Environment Options

Intrinsically safe (IS) sensors are unable to produce a spark strong enough to cause ignition. Learn how this is accomplished and design considerations when using IS sensors.
