Level measurement instruments are made ‘intelligent’ and able to communicate to your computer network by the inclusion of communication protocols (like HART, Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus and Modbus) within the instruments, helping to enable easy plant measurement and maintenance. These ‘intelligent’ level instruments can be read by signal conditioning systems and other digital communication systems, which can transfer relevant plant information to your networked computer, and from there anywhere in the world!
This information from plant to desktop is made even more efficient by the ‘multi dropping’ of HART, Profibus and Foundation Fieldbus transmitters, which decreases wiring volumes, infrastructure requirements, and also allows combinations of different technologies, brands and manufacturers to share the same cables.
There are digital communication systems available that offer control over maintenance by allowing remote monitoring of performance and diagnostics. Sensor settings can also be saved, just in case there need to be a fast replacement, in the unlikely event of any failure.

The PDF article below shows examples of radar level measurement in different areas of the pulp and paper industry, specially in areas where existing measuring techniques could not always fulfil the requirements of users, and radar becomes the optimal solution.

The successful PACTware™ Roadshow is back in town!
This Autumn, the PACTware™ Roadshow will have events in the process automation centres of the UK and Ireland:
Manchester, United Kingdom 11th November 2008
Cork, Ireland 13th November 2008
PACTware™ software is well known in the process automation industry as it allows manufacturer independent device operation. Whatever company you get your field devices from, the universal PACTware™ will be able to read them.
At the event, there will be 10 experts from PACTware™ member firms who will be showing participants how to make process automation device operation more efficient with the manufacturer independent and universal PACTware™.
The main focus of the PACTware™ event is to demonstrate the practical benefits that using this universal software has in the process automation industry. PACTware™ is the most commonly used FDT frame application and at the event, there is a live operation multi vendor wall showing loads of application samples. You will see first hand how PACTware™, as a single tool for all communication and field devices via PROFIBUS, HART and Foundation Fieldbus protocol, is a great facilitator and speedier way for commissioning and maintenance.
Also covered are the new possibilities of device and fieldbus diagnosis with PACTware™ and plant wide device access.
At the event, there will also be product exhibitions from the following participating companies: VEGA, Tyco Valves, Turck, Trebing & Himstedt, Pepperl + Fuchs, Magnetrol, KROHNE and ICS.
This PACTware™ Roadshow is supported by the FDT group and the companies Bopp & Reuther, Samson and WIKA.
To make sure that you are at this PACTware™ event, and if you are in the process automation industry, I should imagine that you would want to be, you will find all the details below:
