Patti's Picks

Wireless PH/ORP Transmitter
Model 6081-P wireless pH transmitter, approved by the WirelessHART standard, measures both pH and ORP and is compatible with most Rosemount Analytical pH and ORP sensors. The transmitter joins the wireless network quickly, enabling analytical measurements that were previously impossible due to physical and economic constraints, or in movable applications. The transmitter has a 2-line, 16-character display with menu screens and plain-language prompts in six languages that guide the user though the programming and calibration procedures. The diagnostics enable continuous monitoring for problems such as calibration error, high and low temperature warnings, glass failure, reference failure, ROM failure, sensor failure, CPU failure, glass and reference warnings.

M2M Internet Solution
A reference design and a corresponding evaluation board bring together a 16-bit microcontroller (MCU) for application control and the C02128 iChip for secure TCP/IP connectivity to LAN and GPRS networks. The combination offers an option to system architects needing to develop and manage an open and flexible Internet-enabled application in machine-to-machine applications. Features include a dual-core Internet secure architecture where all connectivity features are isolated from the application, providing a natural firewall and production-ready IP networking for an out-of-the-box, secure system for production-ready networking.
