March 19, 2008 - AquaSensors ( www.aquasensors.com )patented DataStick sensors communicate directly over DeviceNet for measuring pH, ORP, DO, Ozone, Conductivity, Suspended Solids, Turbidity, and Resistivity with 24 bit accuracy. DataSticks enable PLCs and PCs to perform process control that in past could only be done with expensive process control systems.
AquaSensors today announced that it has become a member of ODVA ( www.odva.org ), an international association of the world’s leading automation companies that support network technologies based on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™).
ODVA members are committed to delivering the benefits of networks built to the Common Industrial Protocol. This is accomplished by the contributions of ODVA members to the development of CIP Networks specifications, training and product development. ODVA members share their vast expertise and experience, continually improving the value of CIP Networks for industry.
“AquaSensors is committed to open, interoperable industrial networking systems, and membership in ODVA will provide the industry expertise and other resources needed to help the Company develop and sell its DataStick products designed around the CIP model.” Bruce Bathust, president and cofounder of AquaSensors observed.
“ODVA has been committed to open network communications for more than 10 years,” says Katherine Voss, Executive Director of ODVA. “Member organizations like AquaSensors that share this vision increase ODVA’s ability to develop industrial network standards that deliver productivity benefits to industry within the framework of a proven, industrial protocol and a future-proof network architecture.”
