Yokogawa Electric Corporation announces that it will release an enhanced version of the ADMAG AXR two-wire magnetic flowmeter on August 17. This enhanced flowmeter has been certified for use in safety integrity level*1 2 (SIL2) applications, as stipulated by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and it supports the latest HART 7*2 protocol.

The enhanced ADMAG AXR two-wire magnetic flowmeter exhibits a level of performance comparable to that of the ADMAG AXF four-wire magnetic flowmeter. With these two flowmeters, Yokogawa aims to take the top position in the global magnetic flowmeter market.

To make power monitoring tasks more efficient and controllable, Advantech provides a series of power meter modules, PME series, a range of RS-485 multifunction, and multiphase power meters for a range of sub-metering applications.

The PME series includes three models categorized by their functionality: the PME-1130 is a 3-phase KW & KWH energy meter; the PME-1210 is a 1-phase multifunction power meter and the PME-1230 is a 3-phase multifunction power meter. With their small form factor, the PME series are ideal for fitting in to small cabinets where the LED display can show the voltage, current, kw, kwh, kvarh and pf information accurately and instantly.

The RS-485 interface allows for the support of the modbus protocol and connection to any computer system or controller. This allows for seamless integration with controllers, such as the Advantech BEMG-4000 series. The combination of energy gateways (BEMG-4221 and BEMG-4222) and power meter series (PME-1200 series) has built an excellent energy monitoring system and ensures the accuracy of power monitoring in a wide variety of buildings such as offices, hotels, factories, campuses, and residential areas.
