Easy integration of Webtec CTA hydraulic flow monitor

Today

Following its introduction in 2022, the heavy-duty yet compact Webtec CTA series flow monitor for hydraulic systems now features a 4-20mA output. While this highly capable device can already monitor and transmit oil flow and temperature data via a J1939 CAN-bus interface, the addition of a 4-20mA (3-wire loop) analogue output for flow reporting facilitates easy permanent installation on industrial and on/off-highway machines.
