Motor STAR – DELTA Starter Working Principle
Motor STAR – DELTA Starter Working principle. A Dual starter connects the motor terminals directly to the power supply. Hence, the motor is subjected to the full voltage of the…
Why we use NAMUR Output Sensor?
Proximity sensors and encoders can have NAMUR output NAMUR is a type of sensor output that gives an on or off indication. There are different reasons why you may need…
Differences between No-load Supply Current and Load Current
The current consumption of an industrial sensor is a very important consideration. Knowing the current consumption of all your devices on a machine allows you to size wire properly and…
How to Select a Inductive Proximity Sensor
Detecting the presence or absence of a metal may seem like a fairly simple concept, but narrowing your selection to a specific sensor can sometimes be a difficult project. These…
Safety Instrumented System Module Failure
The international standard IEC/EN 61508 has been widely accepted as the basis for the specification, design and operation of safety instrumented systems (SIS). As the basic standard, IEC/EN 61508 uses…

Process Control Fundamentals
Process Control In almost all industrial process applications, control of process variables is critical to the safe and efficient operation of the process. The most common variables controlled are pressure,…
Difference Between NPT, BSPP and BSPT Seals
Pressure systems in the process industry use different ways of sealing depending on the geographical region, size of the pressure system and the environment. There are regional differences in sealing…
5 Valve Manifold Operation
The 5-valve transmitter manifold is shown in the schematic below: 5 Valve Manifold During normal operation, the HP and LP valves are open while the equalizing valves and the bleed…
3 Valve Manifold Operation
A three-valve manifold is a device that is used to ensure that the capsule will not be over-ranged. It also allows isolation of the transmitter from the process loop. It…
