Digital Architecture

Le système de gestion de l'air est disponible en deux configurations de base qui varient selon le régulateur de secours utilisé. Le type A utilise le régulateur électropneumatique tandis que le type B utilise le régulateur de secours de type manuel. Les deux types incluent une vanne d'isolement et peuvent être configurés en tant qu'unités distantes (SA) ou en tant que bases connectées au bus de terrain (EN, PN). Les concentrateurs disposent d'un port de liaison IO supplémentaire pour la connexion à des périphériques supplémentaires pouvant communiquer via le système.

Le cœur du système de gestion de l'air est le hub. Basé sur le capteur de débit PF3A, le hub génère des données de débit, de pression et de température pour quantifier le fonctionnement de la machine. Les concentrateurs autonomes ou distants peuvent communiquer sans fil avec les unités de base. Les unités de base disposent d'une communication par bus de terrain pour la connexion à l'automate tandis que les données de processus sont fournies via OPC UA au système d'analyse client.

Le régulateur électropneumatique de secours ITV-X399 ajoute des fonctionnalités à l'ITV standard pour une utilisation dans le système de gestion de l'air. Comme l'ITV standard, il permet à l'utilisateur de contrôler électroniquement la pression de l'appareil. La possibilité de régler une pression de secours a été ajoutée, et la conception sans décompression permet au système de se décomposer à cette pression avant que l'ITV ne la maintienne à la pression inférieure définie. Une fonction de rampe de pression est également ajoutée qui permet une pressurisation contrôlée au démarrage et élimine le besoin d'un dispositif de démarrage progressif séparé.

Le régulateur de secours de la série AR*S offre une méthode mécanique simple pour introduire une pression de secours réduite dans le système de gestion de l'air. De conception sans décharge, l'AR*S permet au système de se dégrader naturellement jusqu'à la pression de veille afin de minimiser l'air nécessaire pour ramener le système à pleine pression après une courte période d'inactivité.

Les vannes d'isolement de la série VP*E-X660/X661 (décharge de pression résiduelle) facilitent le système de gestion de l'air en mettant la machine en mode d'isolement pour un état d'inactivité à plus long terme. Cela élimine les pertes constantes dues aux fuites dans l'équipement en aval. L'option douce est recommandée lors de l'utilisation du régulateur de secours de la série AR*S pour une pressurisation contrôlée du système.

The Air Management System automatically regulates and isolates the compressed air provided to a machine to improve efficiencies during periods of inactivity.  The unit generates pressure, flow, and temperature data to characterize normal operating conditions and identify trends to both compare with similar machines and enable preventative action to maintain optimal system performance.  The unit does not require reprogramming of the user's PLC to operate, making integration both simple and cost effective.  The high-resolution data is accessed by the PLC via fieldbus and SCADA packages via OPC UA.  Using OPC UA and wireless systems, the Air Management System can be added without connector to the PLC or changes to PLC programming.

This next generation ISE70 pressure sensor provides continuous quantitative values, as well as switched digital outputs when pressure set points are met.  This sensor is also IO-Link compatible.  Sensor information, such as identity, functional state, cable connection, and current or switch values can be set or monitored remotely though an IO-Link master, and connected to a fieldbus network.  The ISE70 is designed for abusive environments that may also include splashed coolant, lubricants or grime.  Electronics are packaged in a metal housing, while the piping connection is a stout lug with female threads, which together protect the sensor against accidental collisions with other objects in the area.  A smooth display face with membrane type buttons avoids contamination from grit and sticky residue that could clog or jam raised rubber buttons.  The display is angled and can rotate 336 degrees, to permit easy reading when indirectly mounted.  The main screen shows instantaneous values in red or green, while the sub screen setting appear in orange.  Switch indicators will also light when set points are reached.

PSE200A is a pressure sensor monitor with an informative, easy to read 3 screen, 3 color display.  Connect up to 4 PSE series remote pressure sensors, then select a channel to view the sensor’s measured value on the main screen.  Alternately, the range input function can scale any 1-5V signal from another sensor type to a display value from -1500 to 1500.    View a variety of secondary data on the sub-screens, including switch set point value, level meter, character string for labeling and more.  Check differential pressure between CH1-CH2, or CH3-CH4.  Additional functions include anti-chatter, error codes, power saving, key lock, security code and others.  This monitor is also IO-Link compatible for viewing measured values, diagnostics and switch output status of all channels.  Internal hardware and applied pressure errors can also be indicated.  Parameters set on the monitor can be reset by the IO-Link master if a new monitor replaces a damaged or failed one.  PSE200A is CE and RoHS compliant, with an IP65 front face when panel mounted (IP40 otherwise).

The PSH Condensation Checker monitors temperature and moisture in a compressed air or non-corrosive gas supply line.  The sensor identifies whether damaging condensation is a risk to the connected equipment.  The detected results are displayed as percent relative humidity and temperature values. Both values can be displayed simultaneously if desired.  The sensor can also respond to the detected values with display color changes and digital switch, outputs, signaling whether the values are within or outside the setpoint ranges. Values can be read and settings changed directly at the sensor, or remotely through analog voltage or IO-Link.  The enclosure is IP65 rated and meets CE and RoHS standards.
