Orenco TCOM telemetry control panels

TCOM telemetry control panels from Orenco Systems are a simplified, affordable SCADA system for facility managers and operators who need to monitor/control equipment that requires no interface software. Features include access and control via phone line, cellular, RF or other remote devices, automatic call-out to pagers or email-capable devices during alarms, data logging with time and date stamp, industry standard Modbus device-to-device communication support, and networking for multiple panels. 800/348-9843; www.orenco.com.

Hach phosphorus control module

The RTC 101 phosphorus control system from Hach Co. provides real-time control of chemical dosing that helps maintain consistent phosphorus levels in effluent water. The system can be used for both open (feed forward) and closed loop (feed back) control of the chemical dose. The chemical feed pump is continuously controlled by a 4-20 mA signal or a dry contact relay. Both outputs can be utilized together. If the dose determined by the controller is below the pump minimum flow rate, the system automatically will switch from 4-20mA control to relay control. 800/227-4224; www.hach.com.
