How to Reduce Nuisance Trips in Industrial Automation

Nuisance trips in industrial automation cost more than downtime — they cause alarm fatigue, mechanical wear, and safety blind spots. This guide covers five proven engineering strategies to reduce false actuations: from tuning hysteresis and adding signal delays to choosing the right sensor technology and transitioning to predictive monitoring.

How Hydrostatic Pressure Sensors Convert Pressure Readings into Accurate Volume Data

In industrial tank management, a hydrostatic pressure sensor is one of the most reliable tools for determining liquid volume. Unlike ultrasonic or radar sensors that measure from the top down, a hydrostatic sensor like the Whitman L95 Series measures the weight of the liquid column above it. This guide covers how to convert raw pressure readings into accurate volume data — from calculating liquid height and accounting for specific gravity, to applying the right tank geometry formula and scaling signals in PLCs and panel meters.
