Controllers Provide DCS Functionality
PAC8000 controllers, when combined with the vendor’s process solution, Proficy Process Systems, are designed to provide users with a rugged DCS system with unmatched flexibility and an ability to tailor a control solution to their specific application requirements. These open controllers provide a broad process control function block library, peer-to-peer communications between controllers, the ability to handle program and I/O changes on the fly, Hart pass through, and redundancy. They can be field mounted and subjected to extremes such as a –40°C to +70°C operating range, ISA Level G3 corrosion, 30G shock and 5G vibration, operation in Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2 hazardous areas with field wiring extending into Division 1 and Zone 1/0 areas. Also new are Proficy Process Systems—Premier Edition and Proficy Process Systems—Standard Edition... Read more
Kits Protect Motor Bearings
Two Aegis SGR Split-Ring Bearing Protection Kits—one for NEMA motors and one for IEC motors—were developed for easy field installation without disassembly of coupled equipment. The Split-Ring kits are designed to provide clearance for shaft shoulders, slingers, and other end-bell protrusions while protecting bearings from electrical damage caused by circulating or shaft currents. Kits include the new split-ring version of the SGR Bearing Protection Ring. The ring prevents bearing damage by safely channeling shaft currents to ground. Kits also include a sturdy aluminum mounting plate and all mounting hardware. The SGR Bearing Protection Ring dramatically extends motor life and prevents bearing noise, downtime and costly motor repairs/replacements, says the vendor... Read more
Sensors Measure Machine Tilt
Inclination sensors are designed to detect and measure the incline or tilt angle of machine elements or equipment platforms in single- or dual-axis applications, from 0° to 360° with accuracy of ± 0.5°. The cCSAus-certified sensors feature metal mounting brackets, an outdoor IP68/69k rating and 4-20mA or 0-5VDC analog outputs that can represent the user-configured angle range. The sensors feature a power supply range of 10VDC to 30VDC, two adjustable switching outputs and provide reliable operation in temperatures ranging from -25°C to 85°C... Read more
Cellular Monitoring Provides Savings
The R.A.M. (Remote Access and Monitoring) is an industrial-grade, real-time cellular remote monitoring and control solution that allows data logging and SCADA operations to be monitored and controlled from remote locations anywhere in the world via existing secure cellular networks. By leveraging existing secure cellular networks and competitive carrier data rate plans, R.A.M. can save customers up to 80% of the cost of a truck roll to a remote site—or 60% of the cost of a traditional phone landline—required to access the data at the remote site, says the vendor. Its Open Source Linux Operating System makes it simple for the user to customize the software and integrate applications. The unit includes application tools for alarming, data logging and programmable control... Read more
Safety Relays Meet New Standard
The vendor offers a complete range of 25 Control Units (also called “Safety Relays”) that are certified according to the new Machine Directive EN ISO 13849-1, to take effect in Europe on Dec. 30, 2009. The current EU standard, EN 954-1 will no longer be applicable and will be replaced by EN ISO 13849-1, which defines a Performance Level (PL) for all safety-related parts of a control system. IEC 61508, along with the sub-category standard EN 62061, determines a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) for the devices... Read more
