March 2011Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring
Endress+Hauser recently launched its new platform for analytical measuring devices. The Liquiline M CM442 and its new sensors are the ideal team to reach the goals set by demanding liquid analysis applications. The company says that in terms of performance, flexibility or cost savings, the new controller meets every requirement and customers are delighted with the results.
The platform to greater simplicity
Uniformity is the central focus of the new analytical platform. By giving identical features the same design and layout, customers benefit from a high degree of flexibility and product simplicity. The Liquiline M CM442 multiparameter controller is the heart of the platform and the key to achieving this goal.
The analytical platform uses special hardware and software in both the controller and the new samplers. This offers customers numerous benefits:
* Standardised operating systems, thereby maximising operating reliability and ensuring rapid navigation through the menus.
* Lower, more cost-effective inventories to identical sensors and cables, and identical hardware modules for controllers and samplers.
Memosens is the key
All the platform components speak the same language: Memosens. The robust inductive connection is able to withstand external environmental factors while the digital protocol guarantees reliable, comprehensive data transmission and an easy-to-use system.
The Liquiline M CM442 can currently measure six different parameters: pH (glass, ISFET and ceramic technology), ORP, conductive and inductive conductivity, turbidity, nitrate and dissolved oxygen.
Any combination of two sensors can be connected. Customers will therefore require fewer transmitters to operate their measuring points, thus significantly reducing their maintenance costs.
Features and benefits
* Plug-and-play for sensors and modules.
* Ability to extend the system to include new functions, notably Profibus, Ethernet, GSM/GPRS.
* The flexible and easy-to-use Flexdip holder that can also be used with other vendor instruments.
* One controller for all parameters with a standardised operating concept.
