Beka announces vendor agreement with Yokogawa

November 2005 News

Following a number of reciprocal visits to Japan and the UK, Beka Associates has announced the conferring of a Global Preferred Vendor Agreement for its comprehensive range of fieldbus displays. Beka Associates' market leading intrinsically safe and Type n (zone 2) 4 to 20 mA loop-powered indicators will also gain preferential consideration for the many large international projects for which Yokogawa is currently enjoying significant success.

Fieldbus solutions are being increasingly favoured for green-field projects and large plant revamps, mainly due to the proven cost savings available during installation and commissioning. The new Foundation Fieldbus and Profibus displays available from Beka Associates respond to the continuing need to remotely monitor these plants by presenting up to eight process variables via a large, back-lit, easily readable LCD display. Rugged field and panel mounting versions offer user-friendly pushbutton navigation coupled with additional capabilities such as customised screens.

Conventional displays are naturally dedicated to single analog loops but continue to perform a vital role in providing operational feedback remotely on plant, at the point of use away from the control room environment.
