Two more exciting new announcements from NOSHOK!

NOSHOK is now offering more precision for specialized low-pressure applications.

NOSHOK’s 600 & 700 Series Process Pressure Gauges are now available in multiple additional ranges, from extreme low-pressure 30 inH2O Vac to 100 inH2O, plus 0-5 psi and 0-10 psi.

NOSHOK 45-740 low pressure process gauges offer a safety version with a solid front design.

In addition, we are now offering a 1 inch version of our popular 100 Series Dry Pressure Gauges.

This miniature lightweight pressure gauge features a one-piece case and process connection design, making it more resistant to mechanical damage. This design is ideal for applications with compact equipment requiring built-in small pressure gauges, including gaseous and liquid media, pneumatics and compressors.


Front Flush Connection Now Available on PT Series Pressure Transmitters

RFQ

The NOSHOK PT Series transmitter portfolio provides significant performance enhancements, increased options and availability – all at reduced pricing with improved delivery times.

To further expand the options on our popular PT Series transmitter product line, we are now offering a front flush diaphragm process connection on our PT30 Series High Performance Fixed Range Transmitters & Transducers.

Our unique front flush design is engineered for universal compatibility, allowing for direct installation into the standard NPT or ISO 1179 ports common to industrial equipment and standard pipe fittings.

Benefits include:

  • Welded front flush diaphragm construction prevents clogging and process material build-up
  • Ideal for use with process medias that clog or solidify in standard process connection ports
  • Configurable with an integrated cooling element that expands the media high temperature limit to 302 °F (150 °C)

Application Insight


IO-Link Basic Instrumentation

More Application Insight Articles

IO‑Link is a standardized digital point‑to‑point interface that connects smart sensors and actuators to an IO‑Link master, enabling richer data, easier setup, and simplified replacement compared to traditional analog or discrete wiring.

It is not a fieldbus, but an evolution of the classic 3‑wire sensor connection that adds bidirectional communication, diagnostics, and parameterization capabilities.

What is IO-Link?

  • IO‑Link is a globally standardized I/O technology (IEC 61131‑9) for communication between sensors/actuators and controllers
  • It uses a serial, bi‑directional, point‑to‑point connection over standard 3‑wire cables to transmit process data, parameters, and diagnostics
  • An IO‑Link system consists of IO‑Link devices (sensors/actuators) and at least one IO‑Link master connected to a PLC or industrial Ethernet network

Why use IO-Link with instrumentation?

  • Improved data access: In addition to the primary measurement (pressure, level, temperature, flow, etc.), IO‑Link devices can provide status, events, and extended diagnostics for smarter condition monitoring
  • Simplified commissioning: Parameters such as measuring range, units, switch points, and damping can be set centrally from the controller or engineering tool, reducing setup time on the machine
  • Easier maintenance: Device parameters can be stored in the IO‑Link master and automatically downloaded to a replacement sensor, minimizing downtime and manual reconfiguration

How does IO-Link wiring differ from analog?

  • IO‑Link uses unshielded 3‑conductor standard sensor cables instead of specialized analog or fieldbus cabling, often allowing reuse of existing wiring
  • Each IO‑Link master port connects to exactly one IO‑Link device in a point‑to‑point manner, and the same port can often be used in standard I/O (SIO) mode for simple on/off signals when IO‑Link is not active.
  • Digital communication is less susceptible to electrical noise than analog signals, which helps maintain measurement accuracy over longer cable runs

What data can IO-Link instrument provide?

  • Cyclic process data, such as live measurement values, switching states, and device status bits, is transmitted continuously each cycle
  • Acyclic service data includes configuration parameters, device identification, and diagnostic/event information, which can be read or written on demand
  • Many IO‑Link devices support multiple process variables and rich diagnostics, enabling advanced applications like predictive maintenance and detailed trend logging

What is needed to use IO-Link?

  • An IO‑Link‑capable sensor or instrument connected to an IO‑Link master port using a standard 3‑wire sensor cable
  • An IO‑Link master module or block that links the IO‑Link ports to a PLC or industrial Ethernet network such as PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, or similar
  • Engineering or configuration software (for example, vendor IO‑Link parameter tools or PLC engineering tools) to access parameters, diagnostics, and device descriptions (IODD files) for commissioning and service

Tech Tip


More FAQs

Q: What applications require the various lens materials, and to what maximum temperature can each be subjected?

A: Lens materials include Instrument Glass, Laminated Safety Glass, Tempered Glass, and plastic.

Glass lenses are used for abrasion, chemical and wear resistant properties.

Laminated safety glass reduces the possibility of shattering if the Bourdon tube ruptures. Tempered glass is 2 to 5 times stronger than plain glass.

Plastic lenses are used for impact, corrosion and chemical resistance. Special attention should be paid to the temperature and corrosive environments.

Polycarbonate is selected for its superior impact resistance, acrylic for its clarity and scratch resistance.

Homalite for its superior chemical resistance. In general, gauges with plastic lenses should remain below 140° F.
