A universal temperature controller

ucts ideal for upgrading installations in factories, processing plants, ware houses, and similar facil ities. The modular con struction also makes it suitable for use in HVAC systems, central heating, liquid level control, and other automation applica tions.

TME (Transfer Multisort Elektronik) now offers a new uni versal temperature controller by Lumel, a supplier spe cialising in efficient solutions for industrial automation. The RE12S Controller is designed for temperature control processes across a wide range of industrial applications. It features a universal input adaptable for measurements using various sensor types and is com patible with almost all popular thermocouple types. The outputs are configured with SPST-NO relays, which are programmable. For additional installation convenience, the RE12S Controller includes adaptive and automatic control modes as well as a self-tuning function. A key advantage of the RE12S controller is that it sup ports the RS485 interface and Modbus protocol, which means it can be used in SCADA systems. Simplified inte gration with existing master systems makes Lumel prod As part of its ongoing commitment to enhancing industry connectivity, Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection (Teledyne GFD) is making its new and proprietary Teledyne GDCloud™ available with the company’s GS700, GS500 and Shipsurveyor portable gas leak detectors, as well as its PS200 portable four-gas monitor for personal safety and confined space applications. The integration of cloud connectivity enhances the gas leak detection process by visualising all instrument data, turning it into actionable business insights. Teledyne GDCloud™ is a comprehensive cloud solution that advances gas detection measurement by recording hazardous events, ensuring regulatory adher ence, and streamlining safety programmes. The ability to visualise detailed gas sensor readings from field sessions is a valuable advantage. Users can trace the route taken by each technician during investigations with the advanced location mapping functionality, enabling ‘breadcrumb’ mapping to show the precise locations that correspond to all gas readings logged in the GS700 detector. When looking to pinpoint leaks, analyse hazards and document sources of emissions, this location intelligence is especially helpful. Additionally, users can interact with dynamic charts and tabulated data displays to reveal further insights into field activity and events. With powerful tools that track and analyse data, Teledyne GDCloud™ can also support a cost-effective, efficient, condition-based fleet management programme. Functions include equipment status, fault reporting and remote diagnostics from Teledyne experts. Notably, alarm prioritisation allows for ‘important and urgent’ data to be actioned before lower-level risks. With its intuitive and customisable dashboard, Teledyne GDCloud™ provides total visibility into the op erational and compliance status of all gas detectors in Transforming field data into actionable information

The controllers are enclosed in a panel-mounted housing. The rubber control buttons are placed below a white-green LED display with large, clear digits which make monitoring device status easier, even from a con siderable distance.

a user’s fleet. Configurable widgets facilitate the or ganisation of key informa tion in line with user pref erences, and colour-coded indicators immediately

highlight significant field events. These indicators point to instruments that re quire imminent calibration or functional bump testing to maintain instrument per formance and guarantee the ongoing capture of accurate readings.

Teledyne GDCloud™ offers an informative user friendly cloud solution for gas detection programs.

“Strict record-keeping is crucial to demonstrating regulatory compliance with gas safety protocols,” says Nick Wood, Global Marketing Director, Teledyne GFD. “Teledyne GDCloud™ securely stores comprehensive calibration data records for every detector. Users can quickly access and document an instrument’s recent op erational history, including all past calibration readings, bump test status, the technicians involved and any rele vant service notes, providing a meticulous audit trail with simple reporting.” Teledyne GDCloud™ offers a user-friendly cloud solu tion for gas detection programs, featuring comprehensive compliance monitoring, visualisation of field events, and projected gaseous hazards based on location-mapped readings. It also includes detailed record-keeping and intelligent fleet tracking. The secure and reliable cellu lar solution operates independently of the end user’s IT infrastructure and can be quickly retrofitted to existing GS700, GS500, Shipsurveyor or PS200 instrument fleets. Teledyne GFD has rolled out Teledyne GDCloud™ glob ally with many customers and is committed to supporting future advances in this field. □
