Schlegel: Modular Operating Concept for Bus Systems

The great advantage of the modular operating concept is the connection of several expansion modules via a basic module and the associated saving of costs. Only the basic module includes the bus-specific bus connection and the bus node which communicates with the corresponding bus system. Thus, the basic module is the most complex module of the total package.

Emerson: Nelson Microprocessor-based Digital Controllers

Emerson is offering a low-cost upgrade for electrical heat tracing systems with its Nelson AXPC100-CM-GP and CM-GP microprocessor-based digital controllers that are engineered to accurately control, monitor and maintain the process temperatures of industrial pipes or tanks in ordinary (non-hazardous) locations. Ideal for replacing aging electro-mechanical thermostats, the controllers achieve cost savings by eliminating the need for several components.
