The process engineering industry is dependent on accurate measuring systems that can
determine a wide range of measured values in a medium, from oxygen content and conductivity
to pH or ORP. The application, the medium, and the ambient conditions can all
place highly exacting demands on the measuring technology. At Achema 2022, Knick
will be showcasing several new components for its in-house PAT modular system.
The Knick modular system comprises sensors,
fittings, transmitters, and systems for
cleaning and calibration. The transmitter
range includes simple head-mounted transmitters
and compact transmitters in a
modular housing, portable devices, and
smart premium transmitters that are also
available for use in hazardous locations. In
time for Achema 2022, Knick is extending
its modular system to include the Stratos
Multi E461N multiparameter transmitter,
the transmitters in the Memotrans MT201N
line, and the Progalog 4000 PC configuration
tool.
Also transfer diagnostic data
In many applications, industrial Ethernet
protocols are the key to digitisation, as they
greatly simplify connections to higher-level
systems. Now making sure the sensors are
also connected, Knick is launching the Stratos
Multi E461N multiparameter transmitter,
which is equipped with a Profinet
interface. Profinet, which is standardised in
IEC 61158 and IEC 61784, can be used for
easy connections to all common process
control systems from leading manufacturers.
This ensures continuous communication,
from the field level to the control
level, to the ERP systems at company level.
