When You Need to Pass HART Data, Get a Little Super Hero.

HART® Isolators from Moore Industries

HART® data is extremely useful but when you have to isolate your loops in order to share key process signals or keep your systems safe from power issues, HART data can be stripped off and blocked by most isolators. This prevents your critical HART data from reaching your to asset management systems, programming devices or host systems.

HART Isolators from Moore Industries can save the day. With built-in HART pass-through technology you can rest assured that when your loops use HART transmitters, critical and valuable HART diagnostic, process, and calibration information can be read on either side of the Moore Industries HART Isolators.

Why is the dynamic range of a radar sensor important?

Posted by TechStar on Aug 29, 2018 2:30:00 PM
This blog post was published by VEGA Americas.

Why does a large dynamic range improve visibility?

For most of us, the bat species Microchiroptera is not the first thing that springs when trying to think of examples of the astounding achievements of evolution. But with its echo-locating system, it is the top performer among mammals when it comes to seeing in the dark, which means it can more easily locate the smallest of insects for food. Radar sensors function according to a similar principle. The better they can hear their "locating sounds" – or, if figuratively applied to radar sensors, the greater the dynamics, – the better the visibility of the level echo.

An Alternate to the Siemens / Moore 352PULS & 353

Posted by TechStar on Aug 23, 2018 12:00:31 PM

The #1 Replacement for the Siemens/Moore 353 Controller

Siemens has recently discontinued their popular 353 SLC controller. This unit and its predecessors have been used in many process applications for years, and the discontinuation of this product has left many companies uncertain of their path forward for supporting their processes. Now that the entire Moore/Siemens 353 family is obsolete, are you considering upgrading to a DCS? Have you reviewed the limited number of 3x6 SLC vendors in the marketplace? Will you turn to eBay looking for spare parts? We have a better solution for you: Yokogawa's YS1000 series PID loop controllers can directly replace the Siemens Process Automation Controller and will keep you off of eBay looking for spare 353 parts.
