DAQ Systems monitor processes independent of PC.
Press Release Summary:
Combining analog and digital inputs with ability to acquire data via PROFIBUS, ModBus, and OPC, ProfiMessage and Expert Devices are suited for process monitoring tasks. Devices provide independent acquisition and monitoring of infinite number of channels, and can directly record and report limit value violations without need for PC support. Limit value violations can also be portrayed in alarm list. Data is permanently and securely recorded to Delphin ProfiSignal database.
Original Press Release:
Monitor Your Process Independently of a PC!
Professional Measurement Technology from Delphin
CHESTERLAND OH— Delphin Technology and CAS DataLoggers present an application with substantial business benefit from the field of process monitoring. Effective process overview is critical to avoiding downtime, ensuring product quality and alarm generation. If your application requires process monitoring, Delphin distributor CAS DataLoggers can provide you with the ideal Delphin data acquisition system. We’ll help you assess your needs and find the ideal data logger for your particular application.
Independent process monitoring:
Industrial processes must function smoothly to maximize productivity and to minimize downtimes. For continuous processes, downtimes often result in enormous extra costs. Effective process monitoring is essential to produce flawless products and to maintain the other high standards of quality you need.
Delphin's ProfiMessage and Expert devices are popular across the world for use in process monitoring tasks. Their combination of analog and digital inputs and their capability to acquire process data via PROFIBUS, ModBus and OPC make them ideal for these applications. Delphin devices can directly record and report limit value violations without the need for PC support. Limit value violations can also be portrayed in an alarm list. The data is permanently and securely recorded to a Delphin ProfiSignal database.
Application features:
Independent acquisition and monitoring of an infinite number of channels
PROFIBUS, ModBus, and OPC interfaces
Alarm database with lists of alarms and events
Fault reporting via email, text messaging and switch outputs
DataService databases for continuous and/or batch recording
Practical example:
A manufacturer of piezo ceramics monitors its firing processes using Delphin Message devices and a ProfiSignal software application. Recording of the firing processes is triggered automatically for each oven and charge once temperatures exceed a limit value of 100°C (212°F). During each process, a threepart view is displayed showing the statuses for all ovens while also enabling immediate access to the detailed information of each individual oven. Users can also display an online trend for each firing process.
All data is archived to a server. Recording and monitoring stops as soon as temperatures drop below 90°C (194°F). Access to data on completed charges is available from any PC workstation.
Industrial applications:
Process monitoring and alarms for refineries
Process data acquisition in steel works
Monitoring of cool storage and warehousing for fruit and vegetables
Process data acquisition for testing facilities in chlorine gas production
BDE and consumption data acquisition from print machines
Automated oven and fire monitoring
Monitoring of welding parameters and soldering equipment
Acquisition and monitoring of wire drawing processes
Delphin data acquisition systems feature different analog and digital I/O modules that can be used with a wide range of signal types including: voltage; 4-20 mA current; thermocouple; RTD; and resistance. They also offer powerful alarm and programming capabilities allowing these instruments to process measurements and initiate actions completely independently.
Delphin systems can be used for local data acquisition and logging when connected to a PC; for remote unattended data collection connected the internet; or as stand-alone devices.
