Reliable measurements are critical for any control scheme, new or old. But as industries strive to improve control of processes, the quality of measurement-loops is often overlooked! No matter how good your DCS, PLC, SCADA, or cloud-based data collection is, if you do not have accurate reliable process data, it does not matter.

Process safety is a major concern and when not managed effectively, potential scenarios can have tragic consequences to personnel, the environment, and company assets. Compliance with regulations and standards require owners to maintain, test and evaluate their safety systems. With proper planning of safety requirements, implementing a safety solution can improve your risk reduction and help quantify the benefits of a safety instrumented system.

The THZ3 and TDZ3 Dual Input Smart HART transmitters simplify your operations with two sensor inputs, and advanced features that give you far more control over your temperature measurements. Each sensor is individually selectable and programmable via HART or DTM.

Moore Industries introduces the new universal SLD PC-Programmable Functional Safety Loop Display. The SLD features a large integral display that shows real-time process status in mA, percent, or any designated 5-character Engineering units (EGU). As part of Moore Industries’ FS Functional Safety Series products, the SLD is certified by exida as a SIL3 capable, non-interfering device for use in a safety loop.
