Belimo releases new inline flow sensors sizes 2½ to 6” that offer automatic glycol measurement and compensation for optimal system performance. Trusted flow measurement is essential in maximizing HVAC system efficiency and ensuring occupant comfort. Belimo flow sensors utilize ultrasonic technology with glycol compensation to provide accurate and repeatable flow measurements of water and water/glycol mixtures without drift in any HVAC application. The Belimo flow sensors use two offset transducers (refer to Figure 1) to determine the flow velocity by measuring the speed of sound in the heat transfer fluid. The downstream transit time is measured by passing an ultrasonic pulse from the lower transducer to the upper transducer; the process is then reversed to obtain the upstream time. Transit times differ based on the flow through the sensor tube; the downstream pulse is accelerated, the upstream pulse is impeded and slowed. The ultrasound pulses with the fluid temperature can be used to calculate the kinematic velocity (𝑣𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠) and determine the measured volumetric flow.
The flow sensors have a patented automatic glycol compensation algorithm that selects the correct fluid properties for the flow and energy calculation eliminating manual input of glycol percentage for sensor setup. The algorithm can be applied to a range of heat transfer fluids, ensuring accurate and repeatable measurements. The automatic glycol concentration minimizes drift and provides trusted flow measurement by continuously compensating glycol concentration in a hydronic system. The Belimo inline flow sensors are an advancement in thermal energy with ultrasonic transit-time technology that automatically measures and compensates glycol concentration. ‘Fit and forget’ sensors to compensate variable and changing viscosities. The sensors have a rugged design with no moving parts, require no calibration, and provide accurate, repeatable measurements improving the control and efficiency of HVAC systems. All flow sensors are wet calibrated to simulate field operation and available with NIST traceable calibration certification. The 2½” to 6” flow sensors now complete the FM series flow sensor offering. Update your website this new product offering. Download online or contact us for a custom export. |

The team at Easy IO are upping their game …. again.
According to Johan Schakenroad, “as the most innovative manufacturer in our industry we have developed some new product groups and extended some others to give you greater options with our solutions. All the new products are going through Beta Testing at the moment and will be available the next few weeks, and they have been designed to support your applications, grow your business with us and give you some additional design considerations for those next projects. “
So where do these products fit and what needs do they address for the smart building and master systems controls integrator?
In developing the world’s leading equipment control for industrial solutions, Siemens continues to explore and develop new ways of making even the most basic processes more efficient and cost-effective.
From the immensely successful SINAMICS G120 family of drives, the G120X is an “infrastructure” drive targeted for pump, fan & compressor applications in the Water & Wastewater

Belimo Americas releases new ball valve assemblies with fail-safe and non-fail-safe actuators (PKR and PR series). These new assemblies offer energy efficiency, easy installation, application flexibility, longevity, and reliability for aggressive applications. The modulating, Multi-Function Technology (MFT) actuator models can be field customized to match the design requirements. When the application requires a particular control, feedback signal, or running time (30-120 sec), MFT is the answer. The assemblies offer:
“By adding PKR and PR actuator options to our industrial ball valve product line, we are able to provide additional flexibility and enhanced performance which has not been available in the industrial ball valve marketplace,” states Russ Brown, Belimo Product Manager for Ball Valves. |

J2 Innovations is excited to announce the launch of FIN 5, for release this summer – the most innovative and advanced software platform for building automation and IoT Applications. With the Launch of FIN 5, the FIN Framework is now more Open, Fast, Robust, and Extensible
Software for building automation has a lot to offer building owners, facility managers, system integrators and users. From its inception, J2 Innovations has sought to simplify the software used to manage building automation systems and provide the most open, flexible, and user-friendly software on the market.
The first iteration of this was FIN Builder, a product that offered simplified and enhanced visualization graphics for 3rd party automation systems. FIN Builder then evolved into the FIN Framework; an all new approach to an open framework that included a full application suite for building automation and IoT. The FIN Framework technology is today sold globally to OEM partners, and in the North American market also sold through distributors as the brand, FIN Stack.
“Since the very beginning of J2 Innovations, we have set out to help evolve the industry by creating technology that covers the same bandwidth of functionality as traditional automation systems but is much simpler to engineer and operate, and is fully IoT compatible.” – Jason Briggs, CEO, J2 Innovations
Now, J2 Innovations is launching the latest incarnation of FIN Framework; FIN 5, the most innovative and advanced software platform for building automation and IoT applications. FIN is a software suite which provides monitoring, control, scheduling, alarming, visualization, integration, and analytics capabilities designed for OEM partners to customize and incorporate into their products or systems. FIN Framework is already used by a variety of system manufacturers involved in BAS, HVAC, lighting, and shading control in buildings.
The FIN 5 release contains many new features and additional benefits, including an all new database, and system configuration UI, to enable faster engineering. A new template creation wizard also makes integrating controllers faster and easier, further reducing configuration time for systems integrators and OEMs. Numerous changes have been made to enhance product robustness. Lastly, J2 Innovations has added additional open APIs to help OEMs and developers further extend the framework, and has improved the connector framework to make it even more open for third party system and device integration.
Following J2 Innovations acquisition by Siemens last May, there is now a stronger emphasis on ensuring the FIN Framework follows latest standards in cyber security; security by design, regular penetration testing and fast update cycles are all key elements in making FIN most cyber-secure.
“Many of the quality assurance processes Siemens incorporates in their design and development are now fundamentally part of J2 Innovations’ new quality culture. I believe we’ve been able to strike a good balance between innovative and robust products.” – Alexander Rohweder, COO, J2 Innovations
FIN’s architecture continues to be the only platform for building automation and IoT that is fully based on the use of semantic tagging. FIN natively supports the Project Haystackopen standard for defining and communicating building related data across multiple instances.
In addition to FIN 5, J2 Innovations is also announcing FIN Cloud, which will be released in the near future. FIN Cloud adds to FIN Framework support for secure remote connection via the AWS (Amazon Web Services) cloud, greatly simplifying remote connectivity for multi-site building operators. FIN Cloud provides OEM partners with powerful support for SaaS architectures, using the Haystack open standard protocol over MQTT for the Edge to Cloud connectivity. FIN Cloud simplifies remote site management by use of fully authenticated certificate based security, with the connection to the cloud “pushed” from the site to avoid the complexity and difficulty working with IT departments.
The FIN Framework is now more open, fast, robust, and extensible than ever before.
