Valve and field controller

The AirLINE Modular Process Control System features WAGO electronic I/O modules, supporting eleven fieldbus protocols, such as DeviceNET, Ethernet, and PRO-FIBUS DP/FMS. An embedded programmable controller reportedly supports the IEC 61131 programming standard to allow for full industrial control functionality. Overall, the system is intended to replace separate valve and field controller installation.

Mini-dryers

Designed in 8 × 3.5 in. packages, the PMD Series of miniature compressed air dryers consist of lightweight anodized aluminum construction. Replacing non-regenerative silica dryers, they feature up to 3 scfm flow capacities, 50-125 psig operating pressures, and reportedly ultra-dry air to more than -100F dewpoints. Applications include ozone generation, analytical instruments and analyzers, antenna waveguides, air bearings, and micro abrasion.
