TMZ PC-programmable, Modbus transmitter with Dual Universal Input (2PRG) channels accepts most standard temperature, current, or voltage signals. This 2PRG model lets users increase measurement density, while also reducing overall point costs by doubling the monitoring capability in one unit. TMZ's digital Modbus output also reduces error inherent in analog 4-20 mA output transmitters due to required D/A conversion, which lets the Modbus host read and record more accurate and repeatable process signals.

Sitrans P320/420 are reported to be the first pressure transmitters to feature remote safety handling, in this case, via Simatic Process Device Manager (PDM) software that saves time during SIL commissioning. Instead of manually attending to each individual device across a facility, operators can program transmitters from their control rooms. This reduces start-up time in applications requiring functional safety. Both P230 and P420 transmitters have an increased proof-test interval compared to other devices.
Pumped Two-Phase (P2P) technology takes advantage of latent heat of vaporization to achieve several advantages compared to traditional liquid-cooling solutions. P2P is reported to provide higher heat flux capabilities, uniform temperature distribution over large surfaces, smaller and more flexible packaging, and greater reliability. Using dielectric working fluids, P2P provides users with a reliable and intrinsically safe solution to increasing waste-heat challenges associated with high-power electronics.
