  • Level Blog: How Advanced Automation Technology Helps to Increase Capacity at LNG Regasification Plants

    Jim Cahill
    Increasing demand for LNG has led to some regasification terminals in Europe importing and managing much larger volumes than usual. However, when plants are operated above their nominal capacity, this increases safety risks in what is already a hazardous environment. Organizations must therefore find ways of increasing the operational efficiency of their assets, to optimize capacity whilst still ensuring that safety is…

  • Flow Blog: Power over Ethernet in the Micro Motion 1600 Compact Transmitter

    Jim Cahill
    Power over Ethernet (PoE) enables one Ethernet cable to provide both a data connection and electric power from a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) to a Powered Device (PD) instead of having a separate cable for each. The Micro Motion 1600 Coriolis Transmitter is a Type 1 Power Class 3 PD that is compatible with Type 1 (PoE) or Type 2 (PoE+) PSE’s. I share this as background because although PoE has been around for a while…
