Omega Engineering, Inc. (Stamford, CT) announced that the EZ Series PLC Touchpanels are available from Omegamation, starting at $359.

The touchpanels are said to be easy-to-use and offer data acquisition, Ethernet connectivity options, and fast programming. Features include efficient 3D graphical objects, fast response to touch input, easy-to-learn intuitive software, and eight display sizes.

This instrument also offers eight levels of password security, with available programming software. Applications include factory automation, process monitoring, and process control. Touchpanels are suited for any industry that uses factory automation, including food processing, automotive, and electronic assembly.

In a second announcement, Omega released the FOH201, a compact and portable fiber optic handheld meter that provides absolute, accurate measurements with white light polarization interferometry technology, which is patent pending.

Designed to be paired with Omega's interferometric fiber optic sensors, the CE-compliant FOH201 (price starts at $2650) is suited for temperature, pressure, and strain measurements.

The large LCD display is easily visible up close or at a distance and the rugged casing and rubber boot provide protection against intensive handling and harsh environments. This meter comes with a standard ±5V analog output and RS232 communication port for real-time data acquisition and is compatible with all Omega WLPI optic sensors, providing a multipurpose tool for measuring various parameters. Applications include temperature measurement in electrically noisy environments, including microwave manufacturing and testing.
