Whatever the industry sector, temperature monitoring is a necessary consideration to ensure operations run smoothly. There are a number of ways to monitor temperature, but choosing the correct technology for the application can make a significant difference. For instance, Omniflex’s Maxiflex Telemetry and Data Acquisition system is a good choice for high density temperature monitoring applications. With its fully inter-channel isolated thermocouple and RTD input modules, and the ability to integrate into DCS, scad and alarm/trip systems, it can provide significant advantages and costs savings over PLC and hockey puck solutions.
Benefits of the Maxiflex RTD module:
• Supports Pt100 and Ni20 STD.
• High Inter-channel galvanic isolation (500 VAC).
• 4 set points per channel.
• Rate of change alarms.
• Converts RTD to degrees Celsius/Fahrenheit at a resolution of 0,1°.
Benefits of the Maxiflex T/C (thermocouple) module:
• 8 T/C channels per module.
• Supports type E, J, K, T, N, B, R, S thermocouples.
• High inter-channel galvanic isolation (500 VAC).
• 4 set points per channel.
• Rate of change alarms.
• Input range and T/C type can be configured differently for each channel.

At its peak in 1994, the energy generation capacity of the UK’s nuclear power stations was 12,7 GW across 16 plants. In 2024, the capacity has fallen to around 5 GW, and the number of stations is down to nine. However, this is far from the end of the story as spent nuclear fuel remains radioactive for centuries, and requires rigorous safety processes to safeguard against leaks.
