The Fieldvue DVC6200p digital valve controller with Device Type Manager (DTM) software supports control valve startup, commissioning, and diagnostic activities. It has also been tested and integrated for use with multiple Field Device Tool (FDT) host systems. Industries including food and beverage, water and wastewater, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, and metals and mining will find value in the Fieldvue DVC6200p DTM instrument’s intuitive interface. Available in a variety of materials including stainless steel, the device comes with mounting kits to accommodate different actuators. Mounting kits can be re-used in upgrades to existing Fieldvue instruments. For control valves located in critical or hazardous areas, the Fieldvue DVC6200p may be remotely mounted to enhance its performance in harsh process conditions such as high-heat or vibration. Utilizing Human-Centered Design concepts, the Fieldvue DVC6200p DTM has several features that simplify control valve set-up and monitoring. Its intuitive setup, auto-calibration, and simple tuning features save time during commissioning. With the failsafe option, users can set the instrument to hold its last value or position to actuator fail, based on control valve process needs. By incorporating control logic, module assignment, and linkage-less, non-contact sensor technology, the Fieldvue DVC6200p digital valve controllers and DTM are easy to install, provide “plug and play” capabilities, and perform reliably – even in harsh environments. michael.eksteen@ emerson.com subtracts lead resistance from measurements, and stores it in memory even after powering down • High resolution measurements down to 0.01 ohm for a high level of accuracy • User selectable safety voltage level of 50 V or 25 V for varied environments • Perform ground tests with auxiliary earth spikes eliminating the need for multiple instruments (1653B/1654B only) • Download up to 444 (1653B) or 1500 (1654B) stored results with IR port and adapter for professional reporting • Detachable leads for easy replacement EN-61557 and VDE 0413 compliant. sales@comtest.co.za New photoelectric sensor: Bridging the gap Now products can be counted and detected on the conveyor in a way that was not possible before. Without gaps. Without delays. The DeltaPac accurately detects and differentiates between successive packaging items on the fly. This ensures faster, smarter and more economical production. In other words: The DeltaPac is a patented technological world first. What makes this possible is the patented Delta-S-Technology®. The functional principle of DeltaPac utilizes the edge contours of objects. In the gapless transition from one object to the next, the edges change the reflectance behaviour of the package surface. This change in direction of reflectance is used for outputting switching signals. Object contours with radii of up to 20mm are thus detected reliably. The high-precision evaluation characteristic of DeltaPac ensures detection of even the smallest changes in angle. duncan.venter@ sickautomation.co.za

Michael Navarria, sales manager for ASCO Power Technologies (left) with Vert Energy’s managing director, Grant Robertson ASCO power switching and control components now form part of Vert Energy’s extensive range of electric power generation (EPG) products for generator set builders, panel builders and for numerous applications that require switching between different power sources. Through ASCO, advanced solutions are provided to efficiently handle the transfer of critical loads from a primary to a secondary and or emergency source. These flexible components, designed for the protection of critical loads, significantly enhance Vert Energy’s specialist solutions service to diverse sectors, including data, financial and telecommunications centres, as well as process manufacturing, transportation, fire pump applications and healthcare facilities. In the event of an interruption to electrical power or a complete power failure, life safety, financial loss, valuable information and convenience can be compromised. Mission-critical applications depend on reliable automatic power transfer switches(ATS) to ensure a seamless load transfer for continuous power. For this reason, the range has been expanded to include ASCO transfer switches and controls, along with Froment and Avtron load banks. ASCO ATS’s are the only power transfer switches available that conform to stringent IEC60947-6- 1 regulations which specify that transfers at full load for both AC and DC currents, must be done seamlessly. This was a compelling factor for Vert Energy in selecting this range. According to Michael Navarria, sales manager for ASCO Power Technologies, the use of circuit breakers, contactors and load break switches commonly used in industry, are not compliant with IEC60947-6-1 specifications. The extensive range of ASCO ATS’s encompasses the Series 230, which consists of an intelligent controller and a modular load transfer switch that automatically transfers the load to the emergency power source. This happens in the event that the normal power source is detected to be under/over voltage, under/ over frequency or phase loss. The 230 Series has a maximum capacity of 800 A and is available from 208 V to 415 V, 50 Hz and 60 Hz. The ASCO 7000 Series is available up to 4000 A and from 208 V to 600 V. ASCO surge protection products complement ATS’s to ensure optimum protection of ancillary equipment used in critical power applications. Froment and Avtron load banks, which are designed to replicate working load conditions, provide electrical loads for testing power sources that include generators and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). These devices are also used to reduce ‘wet stacking’ and glazing problems in diesel engines of power generating systems. Vert Energy is the exclusive representative in Southern Africa for other premium electric power generation brands including, Leroy Somer alternators, DEIF generator controls and Covrad heat exchangers. The company’s service to the electro-mechanical power generation sector also encompasses a repair and maintenance facility.
