Integration & Automation

Introduction Modern vacuum systems generate massive amounts of pressure data that must be captured, logged, and analyzed for process optimization, traceability, and predictive maintenance. RS232 remains one of the most reliable, low-cost, and universally supported interfaces for vacuum transmitters, especially in laboratory and light-industrial environments. The Poseidon Scientific VG-SP205 Pirani Vacuum Transmitter delivers native RS232 […]

Introduction Modern industrial vacuum systems rarely operate in isolation. Whether controlling a semiconductor load lock, a PVD coater, or a vacuum furnace, engineers integrate vacuum gauges directly into PLCs, SCADA systems, or Industry 4.0 platforms to enable closed-loop pressure control, automated pump-down sequences, interlocks, and real-time data logging. A poorly integrated gauge can introduce noise,
