How to use Thermocouple Transmitters to Monitor Temperatures in Paint Systems – Application Note Video
The area around an auto manufacturer’s paint curing ovens is at elevated temperatures affecting the performance of locally installed instrumentation. Placing Signal Conditioners rated for high operating temperatures near the ovens allows the PLC controlling the process to be mounted in a lower temperature area. The Signal Conditioner will convert Thermocouples to 4–20mA outputs. Running…
Remote Ethernet I/O Modules Monitor Wind Turbines – Application Note Video
Monitoring wind turbines can be important for ensuring the efficiency and reliability of these systems. Acromag’s remote Ethernet I/O modules can be used to remotely monitor various aspects of a wind turbine, such as its power output, wind speed, and blade pitch. These modules allow users to gather data from the wind turbine remotely, using…
