Mark your calendar to be a part of the ITC/USA 2011 Conference

October 24-27, 2011
Bally’s Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

The International Telemetering Conference/USA (ITC/USA) is the premeir annual forum and technical exhibition providing telemetry specific short courses, technical papers from professionals and students and exhibits of the industry’s leading companies.

Telemetry is based on sound science and engineering and the technology that enables the exploitation of these principles.  Come join us as we combined  modern technology with testing experience, creating the art of telemetry engineering. ITC/USA 2011 will provide the telemetry professionals the opportunity to blend the art with the science and technology, moving the art ever forward.
ITC/USA is sponsored by the International Foundation for Telemetering (IFT), a non-profit corporation dedicated to serving the technical and professional interests of the telemetering community.

Who should attend this conference?

• Companies to exhibit their  telemetry or complimentary products.
• Telemetry Professionals and students looking for an opportunity to expand knowledge base, improve job skills, brush up on telemetry concepts, or just learn something new about telemetry.
• Anyone who is involved in the many telemetering industries.

Remote 1553 Operations for Ethernet Networks
eNet-1553™ is an innovative product that provides real-time connectivity of 1553 operations on a Ethernet local area network (LAN). Alta has combined the industry’s most advanced 32-bit 1553 FPGA protocol engine, AltaCore™, with a real-time IP/UDP thin server in a small low-power, rugged box. The customer can implement their application with the same feature-rich application programming interface, AltaAPI™, as used with standard cards – often without even recompiling – the utlimate in code portability.

The initial offering in Acromag’s new ST130 series of low-cost, temperature transmitters is an ASIC-driven RTD signal conditioner, Model ST131. Units combine the simplicity of a digital USB setup and calibration interface with the inherent performance advantages of analog signal conditioning. Selling for just $89 with free Windows configuration software, this DIN Form B head-mount instrument will convert the input signal from any 100 ohm Platinum RTD sensor to a highly accurate, loop-powered 4-20mA output. A ruggedized design features -40 to 80°C operation, electrical noise immunity, and surge protection. CE and UL/cUL Class 1 Division 2 Zone 2 approvals are pending.

“Our new ST131 RTD transmitter employs the best of analog and digital technologies at a very attractive price,” states Don Lupo, Acromag’s sales and marketing director. By maintaining a fully analog signal path (i.e. no digitization), the transmitter delivers optimal accuracy, noise resistance and response speed. Additionally, the unit supports digital calibration to eliminate zero/span pots, DIP switches, and pushbuttons for easy programming of ranges, over/under scale thresholds, and fail-safe settings.

Despite their tiny size and economical price tag, ST131 transmitters are full-featured. These transmitters provide sensor excitation and perform advanced signal linearization, lead-wire compensation, and sensor fault detection functions. Units can also support any 100 ohm Pt RTD sensor (alpha = 375-393) or 0-900 ohm input. Designed for harsh environments, the unit’s ASIC exhibits very low drift across wide ambient temperatures and is highly resistant to RFI, EMI, ESD, and EFT effects. Simultaneous differential sampling and auto-zero techniques yield further accuracy improvements. Another benefit, the output is non-polarized and reverse polarity protected. Factory calibration is also available.

A variety of options add greater flexibility. Programmable over/under range and fault/alarm levels enable identification of a “runaway” process or broken sensor. Selectable up/downscale failsafe modes ensure a safe, predictable shutdown with a NAMUR-compliant fault response.

For easy installation, Acromag sells a variety of mounting and wiring accessories. A USB-to-USB isolator protects equipment from ground loops, electrical noise, and surges during configuration. For convenience, a kit supplies the software, isolator, and USB interface cables. Numerous connection head enclosures are also available through Acromag. Select from stainless steel, aluminum, and cast iron housings with explosion-proof or general-purpose ratings. A DIN rail adapter adds more mounting options.

Acromag is an international corporation that has been developing and manufacturing measurement and control products for more than 50 years. They offer a complete line of industrial I/O products including process instruments, signal conditioning equipment, data acquisition boards, distributed I/O modules, and network communication devices.
