Wireless Technology for Process Automation

The use of wireless technology in process industry offers entirely new possibilities for the system operators to optimise existing production processes and adopt entirely new paths.
A wide field of applications with various solutions becomes available to the user: R. STAHL considers this trend in many different ways.
Besides WLAN, GSM and WirelessHART, R. STAHL also offers switches working without battery or power supply. Recently, the offer has been completed by a localisation system offering new solutions for more efficient production processes and increased safety.

Pump Jack Monitoring

/in , , ,

Pump Jack monitoring makes your operation more efficient and cost effective by monitoring On/Off events, following trends, and sending alarms. Ensure quick resolution of asset repair or maintenance and keep downtime to a minimum.
Features:

  • Remotely monitor pump jacks to detect and report On/Off events
  • Receive alarms when the motor stops and cannot restart
  • Monitor controller outputs to report control events including Modbus registers for operational parameters
  • Remotely control the pump jack
  • Remotely retrieve pump cards
  • Can integrate with most controllers
  • Can accommodate different power requirements-site power, battery, or solar with battery backup
  • Monitor multiple pump jacks or multiple assets with one AMCi monitoring system

Benefits:

  • Get instant notifications that the pump jack has shutdown unexpectedly
  • Respond quickly to shutdown events to resolve problems and get oil pumping again
  • Accurately report pump jack uptime and demonstrate contract compliance
  • If using portable equipment, and integrated GPS receiver can quickly provide the pump jack location
  • Alarms can be sent via email, text message, or phone call
  • View the status of all equipment from your desktop with AMCi’s SatAlarm-Server host application

From simple On/Off event reporting to complex controller monitoring, AMCi has a solution to meet the customer’s specific needs. Contract AMCi to let us find the best and most cost effective solution for your monitoring requirements.

Digital Thermostats for Refrigeration and Heating Applications

/in , ,

New Digital Thermostats will Improve the Performance of Refrigeration and Heating Applications

West Control Solutions has launched the CAL Thermostats family, a range of easy-to-use temperature thermostats that improve performance and efficiency for food and beverage manufacturers. With a simple user interface, large clear display and a high ingress protection-rated casing, CAL Thermostats offer precision monitoring of temperatures within ovens, fryers, refrigerators and other chillers.

Digital Thermostats with NTC Sensor InputSelf-Tuning Digital Thermostat

The CAL ET2011 digital thermostat is an easily programmable standard thermostat for heating or cooling control, with a 4-digit display. A simple panel clamp enables quick installation and release, while a range of input options for thermocouples or PT100 provides capability to meet a wide range of application requirements. The automatic, ‘self-tuning’ calculation of PID parameters, soft-start functionality and the option for relay or SSR output to be assigned as the main control output all contribute to the flexibility and efficiency of the instrument.

Defrost Thermostats for Compressor Defrost or Fan Control

For refrigeration applications where defrost is required, the CAL EDT defrost thermostats offer different output options for compressor defrost or fan control, up to two NTC thermistor sensor inputs and an option for an external digital input to trigger a defrost event. The devices support different defrost cycles: compressor shutdown, electric or hot gas defrost cycles. Fast set-up is enabled using the “CAL key”, a flash memory key that allows configuration settings to be copied from a master device to any further devices that share the same configuration, saving time and ensuring commissioning or down time is minimised. An RS485 option is available for monitoring and reporting, while a real-time clock for initiating the defrost cycle at a specific time of day.
The CAL thermostat range provides an aesthetically-pleasing design featuring a large display that is ideal for both industrial and non-industrial applications.

Eagle Signal Timers for Plastics Manufacturing

/in ,

Plastics
You can’t go a single day without encountering literally hundreds, if not thousands, of objects made out of plastic. Since they were popularized for use in consumer packaging and durable goods in the 1950s, plastics have since exploded into a $310 billion a year industry. And behind many those plastic packaging and manufacturing plants are Eagle Signal timers.
For plastics manufacturing techniques such as injection molding machinery, thermoforming and extrusion equipment to blow molding machinery, promoting reliable and safe plastics production and consistent product output is critical. This means reducing unnecessary downtime and eliminating all material waste. The key to accomplishing this is accurate and reliable timing equipment.
Eagle Signal brand electronic timers ensure timed plastic mold release and precise heat and pressure control of the plastic resin pellets within the barrel of the injection mold machine. The on-delay timer activates the heating element which signals the temperature controller to melt the plastic pellets to a given temperature parameter within the barrel for optimum plastic injection or molding at the opposite end.
