Up to Nine Alicat Flow and Pressure Devices can now be Monitored From a Single Computer
MUMBAI, September 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Remote Monitoring Saves Time and Money
Alicat Scientific, Inc. now offers its BB9 Communication Module in a USB model. The
BB9-USB replaces the standard RS-232 serial connection, providing a direct computer
connection for monitoring and control of Alicat Flow devices.
The BB9 joins up to nine Alicat flow and pressure devices to a single computer for
independent monitoring and operation. This remote monitoring saves time and money,
especially in flow instrument installations where devices are a long distance from the
control site. The BB9 will also distribute power to connected Alicat devices. In
installations with more than nine Alicat flow devices, multiple BB9s can control up to 26
Alicat devices.
With the industry's highest turndown ratio, Alicat's mass flow meters quickly and
accurately measure pressure, as well as temperature, volumetric, and mass flow. Devices
come pre-calibrated (NIST traceable) for Air, Hydrogen, Helium, and Argon as well as 16
other gases and 10 gas mixes.
