Analytical Technology, manufacturers of specific electrochemical sensor proclaimed that they have added, a digital 24 VDC powered Profibus DP (Decentralized Peripherals) to its array of monitors to help wastewater and water treatment systems to reduce maintenance and obtain precise measurements of chlorine.
First introduced in 1989, the Profibus is a standard field bus communication. The most exploited version is the Profibus DP, used to run sensors through a central controller in factories. Its monitors and instruments with superior output, afford a set of data by merging, calibrating and state needs of the sensor, thereby helping operators to evaluate the accurate measurements.
The need for Profibus instruments, for water and waste water sector is mounting. The Profibus DP includes combined and free chlorine, reagent free, clean water variant, and a non contact gas phase dirty water variant. A monitor can be either 24 DC with relays or 85.260VAC with relays, along with an option for digital communication. These monitors have the same sensor and processor to compute residual chlorine, and as they can be run from one cable, installation costs are minimal.
According to Analytical Technology’s General Manager (Europe), Dr. Michael Strahand, they were looking forward to offer Profibus DP, and its complete range of monitors to the customers and also to add to their instrumentation based on customer needs.
