The two companies RIA CONNECT GmbH and BTR NETCOM GmbH merge to form METZ CONNECT GmbH For several years now, we have been following an international growth strategy and have jointly developed individual marketing and sales activities in our companies RIA CONNECT GmbH and BTR NETCOM GmbH, as well as bringing together processes synergies and leaner processes and to realize our vision of being a connectivity specialist offering high quality connection technology for modern communication solutions from circuit boards to the Internet.

We have united this orientation under the METZ CONNECT brand which acts as an important symbol and provider of impulses for new products as well as business partnerships and gives us this common identity.

On July 1st of this year we will combine both companies on a legal basis and will then continue to manage the business activities of RIA CONNECT GmbH and BTR NETCOM GmbH as part of the METZ CONNECT GmbH. Now, with this step, the activities of the company will be promoted in Europe too, with a new identity and motivation, as was done in the USA earlier this year. “We have prepared for this on the strategic and organisational level already during the last years. Now, for customers and our employees only the name of the company changes, nothing else,� Managing Director Torsten Janwlecke commented about this step.

Moreover, the two brands RIA CONNECT and BTR NETCOM, being established symbols on the market, will remain part of our corporate design and on existing products.

Motion technology meets art: The story of Ron Arad’s Last Train art installation Commissioned by Steinmetz Diamonds and created by the internationally famous artist Ron Arad, Last Train is an interpretation of the ‘strength of raw diamonds’. Using the visually impressive properties of LED edge illuminated striking Steinmetz diamond ring etches an enlarged replica of a work produced in real-time by an artist using an iPad on to a 875mm by 1155mm sized lead-glass panel - by way of a custom mechatronics positioning system designed and built by motion control specialist Heason Technology.

Last Train was inspired from a mesmerising encounter on a railway platform in Naples where, just missing his last train, Arad witnessed a man in a slowly disappearing carriage etching the most amazing drawings onto a exhibition at the 55th Vienna Biennale in Italy until 24th November 2013, the complete installation includes the actual production equipment and original glass etched works by the artist; with many other artists including Ai Weiwei, Anthony Gormley and Francesco Clemente also contributing their own work. For Ron Arad, the installation is about the strength of the raw carbon based material rather than as a symbol of value and adornment, and conveys how diamond on glass has been used over centuries to convey messages of love, hate, rebellion and pain.

Heason Technology was called into the project to design and build a creative solution for the motion system the performance or dynamic aspects of the artwork as envisaged by the artist. The basic concept called for the iPad app to output coordinate touchscreen information from the artist’s work via an ad hoc Wi-Fi network to a PC programme which then interpreted the information into a 2-axis mechanical positioning system, with a third axis the glass plate. It was also a prerequisite for the complete presentation cabinet - except for the iPad of course.

The original motion system, based on stepper motors, was erratic in operation and did not transfer the etched information to the glass as fast or as smoothly and accurately as required. Stepper motors were also noisy which did not suit the tranquillity expected of the work.

A solenoid used to position the diamond on the glass Furthermore, the H-frame gantry positioning system dimensions, did not allow the diamond to cover the total area of glass, limiting the visual impact of the artworks.

Finally, all of the drive and control electronics could not be housed inside the cabinet necessitating a separate control cabinet - which would be problematical to conceal for art exhibition use.

The challenge faced by Heason Technology to build a complete system inside of the restricted presentation cabinet in itself was pretty huge. This was compounded by the timescales required as work on the prototype had stalled with the previous supplier. Heason was given only around 12 weeks to complete and deliver the system in time for the Vienna Biennale early in June 2013. A comfortable timescale to include a full design and necessary reviews, lead-times for components and building/testing would have been nearer double.

Using its full resources as a designer and builder of bespoke motion systems and with the full support of its distribution partners, for this project namely ABB and Danaher Motion’s Thomson Division - and with many late nights - Heason was able to supply a complete system in time for the Biennale. use of M55 series Movopart belt driven linear positioning slides from Thomson in an ‘I’ frame (or rotated ‘H’ frame) arrangement with two synchronised parallel horizontal axes supporting a single vertical traversing axis allowed only just. The ‘I’ frame also reduced the power required when compared to an ‘H’ frame with the two parallel axes motion products involved actually machining material away from covers and using specially inverted parallel belt drive adapter plates to make the extruded aluminium band option to protect the ball guided bearings against the ingress of glass dust from the etching process. Many other components needed ‘shaving’ and even cable chain required some remedial work to allow it to extend without fouling other equipment in the cabinet.

With the main mechanical system design in place, the components and interfacing panel could be placed around the cabinet. It was inevitably decided that to achieve

the speeds and dynamic performance required a servo motor based system would be best employed. ABB’s NextMove e100 multi-axis motion controller using its integrated Ethernet POWERLINK network for motion synchronisation was chosen for its programming and installation simplicity. This distributed drive technology system reduced wiring volume to a bare minimum over traditional servo systems with MicroFlex e100 drives connected via POWERLINK with minimal length cabling required for feedback. A MINT program on the multitasking NextMove e100 motion controller receives real-time linear position coordinates and etching axis on/off information from a C++ program on the PC that interprets the separately commissioned iPad app. This multiple move information is stored in the MINT program’s move buffer and may be advanced and started on demand - streaming these positions through the program to create the smooth coordinated and contoured motion that recreates the artist’s work.

The parallel axis synchronisation was easily taken care of using MINT with a feature added during the start-

PECM713.indd 5

the vertical axis from the outset. The third axis motion for etch on/off is taken care of through a separate brushless DC motor and drive using the NextMove e100’s torque input command to soften the impact when placing the diamond on the glass. A combination of hard and soft limits, and torque control ensures all axes are restricted within a safe zone of the internal cabinet area.

This extraordinary motion system provides a real showcase for the capabilities of Heason Technology and the artist is extremely pleased with the result. “It was a pleasure to work with a company that was more of a perfectionist than we ever imaged,” says Arad, “when things were good enough for us they weren’t good enough from Heason’s professional attitude in a time-frame that has challenged everyone involved in the project.” Arad hopes to work with Heason in the future. “Working on the Last Train project with Heason has given us the appetite for other projects that we wish to follow up on.” www.heason.com

ProcessVue® alarm management is 100% reliable at Premier Oil By replacing an ageing, unreliable SOE printer system with MAC Solutions’ ProcessVue software, Premier Oil’s Balmoral facility has experienced zero software outages since it was installed two years ago. The 100% reliability of ProcessVue ensures that data from safetycritical plant is always logged, enabling engineers to identify the cause of a plant upset, including the sequence of events (SOEs) leading up to this.

Premier Oil is an oil and gas exploration and production in the UK. The Balmoral facility in the Central North production vessel (FPV). Installed in 1986, the FPV mooring system consists of 8 adjustable-tension anchor chains attached to piles. The topside facilities generation, gas compression and living quarters for more than 100 staff. Maximum design throughput of the FPV is around 60,000 bbl/day oil production and

90,000 bbl/day produced water handling. The FPV has no oil storage capability and oil is exported to Cruden Bay via a 14km pipeline (Brae-Forties link) and overland to Hound Point.

Lee Hanlon, Instrument and Controls Engineer at Premier Oil North Sea, is also project lead for the ProcessVue implementation at Balmoral. He comments: “We have lots of safety-critical plant and equipment, as well as thousands of individual instruments installed across the Balmoral FPV. Event and alarm data from these instruments needs to be logged on a continuous basis. The sequence of events leading up to a failure or plant shutdown need to be recorded, so that we have 100% traceability at all times. If anything unforeseen happens, our personnel need to be able to quickly identify and analyse the root cause of the events that triggered an alarm.”

New control system delivers speed, stability and precision at an affordable cost.

The new PMC control system from TRM allows the machine builder and process integrator the ability to simplify installations and reduce build cost all in one easy to use package. Supplied with free software suitable for a variety of machines and process’, and hard to beat.

The PMC is a precision 4 axis motion controller with integrated PLC capabilities and can control either servo or stepper motors or a combination. This means that for many machines additional IO modules do not ordering process and reduces labour in installation.

Hi-speed encoder inputs are used and 3 additional Jog encoders can be provided should an axis or speed need to be controlled manually.

Two types of outputs are included, PLC style power outputs and also TTL signal outputs giving 20 in total.

and have the ability to be changed between ‘pull high’ or ‘pull low’ depending on the sensors being used. 4 analogue inputs are also provided that will accept either 4-20ma or 0-10V signals allowing the controller to measure a range of signals for temperature, pressure, Our range of enclosures mean that the controller can be mounted as a pendant, built into a machine or mounted in a cabinet door allowing great versatility where the integrator may be building bespoke machines. This allows the integrator to build the controller into a variety of machines in different ways yet only have to learn how to program once! a customising service that allows case styles to be changed, overlays to be created with custom colours and logo’s, and if necessary custom keypad layouts.

Even the software can be semi-customised as standard opening screens can be added by uploading a JPEG image, Operator screens can be laid out by changing a few simple parameters and for those that want a full solution we can offer a design/installation or programming service.

The types of machine that can be controlled are endless. From a simple conveyor system to a welding robot the PMC controller is the solution. To discuss how we can work together to improve performance and reduce costs, call 01704 563777 or email sales@ trm-electronics.com today with your requirements.

Also in the range is the SMC controller designed for less complex machines and hence a lower cost. This still allows the same great versatility and level of precise control but for 2 axis servo or 3 stepper or a combination.

A Fresh View on Boilerhouse Control THE SYSTEM The Unity control system from Byworth Boilers offers an unprecedented level of visibility and control over everything in your boiler house from water treatment, right through to the steam header in one easy to use interface.

Capable of handling dozens of simultaneous I/O, Unity is suitable for any boiler house from control of a single boiler to complex multi- boiler, multi-fuel installation incorporating waste heat and composite boilers.

Intelligent decisions based on the systems measured and reduce operational stress to decrease downtime and increase the plants life cycle.

Unity is able to accept, process and trend various boiler house values including -

THE USER INTERFACE Accessible via the built-in touch screen or remotely via TCP/IP on a Microsoft Windows based desktop PC; the easy to use interface allows for quick access to trend data, alarm logs, and user controllable functions such as time sequencing, fuel switching, or set point adjustment.

A simple green, amber, red warning system ensures that the operators attention is quickly drawn to the

CONNECTIVITY Remote control and monitoring is available via Modbus or TCP/IP as standard with other protocols available on request.

The integration of Modbus throughout makes communicating with example extremely simple bringing the full wealth of information from these devices to a central point for processing.

A log of alarms and tests carried out is stored on the local device and can be output to a network printer on the triggering of such an event (such as an alarm or the completion of the boiler weekly test).

THE BOILER HOUSE Unity was developed to monitor and control an entire boiler house installation from one central control point giving the system advantage over using several third party controllers to operate different parts of the boiler house.

The networked structure above shows a brief overview of some items that can be controlled and by what means of communication.

As standard the unit will allow the operator to program and monitor the following through the HMI.

Cressall NERs provide a compact, cost effective solution for these high voltage and high energy applications.

The Leicester manufacturer has been supplying resistors to companies across the world for over a century. To comply with the latest SEC requirement that NERs be tested in an approved testing station Cressall’s engineers responded by sending the equipment and documentation to one of only two approved testing facilities in Europe. CESI in Milan was the only facility capable of supplying the 12MW of power needed to conduct such tests.

out these tests helped them to work much closer with their “The particular designs we tested are used extensively for NER applications around the world. We have installed them in The United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and also here in the UK. We expect to receive more enquiries for NERs from the Middle East,” he concluded.

The NERs tested were rated for use on a 13.8kV system and sized to accept a current of 1500A for 10 seconds with a requirement that the resistor element temperature does not rise above 760 degrees centigrade.

Due to the relatively rare instance of earth faults, NERs may only be called upon to operate a few times in their service life, which may be 25 years or more. However they are a safety critical device and so reliability is imperative.

The Milan tests successfully proved that Cressall NERs can withstand the high energies of such an application, and means that units will shortly be installed in six different substations in Saudi Arabia.

In Saudi Arabia some of the installations can be exposed to extreme heat and high humidity and Cressall’s designs have been proven over many years in applications ranging from

Update your Safety Policy / Site Specification to comply with essential safety requirements for machines containing Variable Speed Drives 2013!

Electrical engineering staff and contractors in the UK may not be aware of the risks associated with the connection of machines containing VSD / inverters to existing electrical installations that contain AC or A type RCDs. In German the Insurance Association (GDV) details converts connected to circuits containing RCDs (Vds 3501) to reduce the risk of death through electrocution

range of various leakage currents present in a system containing a 32 amp VSD; at 50Hz the leakage current is less than 3mA , however the actual maximum leakage current occurs at 7815 Hz and is approaching 2000mA. Shocks from high frequency currents may not cause immediate death, however a person subject to current above 300 mA is at risk of receiving irreversible injuries.

Historically UK guidance covering this subject has been rather vague, resulting in increased risk of serious injury for staff using similar equipment in the UK compared to Germany, even though companies are subject to common legal requirements (Regulations).

For the UK the publication of BSEN62477-1:2012 for manufactures of electronic power control equipment and the recently updated GAMBICA Installation Guide 4th Edition - Page28. 4.2.3, clearly details the safety requirements: Use Type “B” RCCBs with 3 phase VSDs. Equipment containing VSDs connected downstream on a mains distribution supply protected by a standard AC RCCB, will not meet the Electricity at Work Regulations see EWR 4(1) 65. In addition untrained support staff using electrical appliances connected to sockets on the same distribution circuit may also be put at risk. See Fig 1

DC Residual Currents: Due to the topology of 3 phase generate smooth DC residual currents in the AC supply. in magnetic saturation of the AC sensing coil and nontripping of the RCCB under fault conditions.

The Electricity at Work Regulations makes reference to the IET Regulations as a guidance document (unless the RCCB Protection with VSDs Where the precautions taken include an RCCB to reduce the risk of death or injury (Regulation 8): Three phase VSDs must only be used with Type “B” RCCBs. Some single phase inverters can be used with Type A RCCBs. The Duty Holder (Regulation 29) makes reference to the VSD manufactures recommendations relating to the type and characteristics of the RCCB required. If not clearly stated in the operating instruction they would need to obtain the manufactures recommendations in writing.

Understanding the risks AC operational leakage currents:

leakage currents at nominal supply frequency (50Hz) and at various harmonic frequencies. Leakage currents in a safety perspective cannot be ignored, as can be seen from the following example. Figure 1 shows the frequency

such as Mines & Quarries); existing Regulation 331.1 is quite clear in its requirement “An assessment shall be made of any characteristic of equipment likely to have harmful effects upon other electrical equipment”. A simple risk assessment carried out under Regulation 331.1 in accordance with existing Health & Safety legislation, on a system containing VSDs and requiring RCCB protection, will quickly identify that Type B RCCBs must be used with a characteristic that is compatible with the operational and safety requirements of the installation, for People and Fire protection.

THE HEIGHT OF GOOD SENSE: ‘BEST PRACTICE’ IN WORKING AT HEIGHT Ian Lofthouse, Brammer UK More than 4,000 people a year in the UK suffer major injuries from falls while working at height and it is a major cause of workplace death. While the majority of these incidents occur in construction, other sectors of employment are also affected. Most of the major injuries are associated with falls of less than two metres.

The practice of working at height is also risky for those who might be standing below, through objects such as tools being dropped onto them and causing injury.

The Work at Height Regulations (2005) state that employers have a duty to assess the risks and plan and supervise all workers who work at height. The Regulations require all employers to ensure that any task which is to be carried out at height has been properly planned, is fully supervised and that it is only carried out by those who are competent to do the work. They must also ensure that operatives receive thorough instructions and training, and that they are given all the necessary information required in order to carry out their tasks. The Regulations cover everything from how workers access working at height to how they and their tools are prevented from falling to the ground.

It is essential that appropriate work equipment is selected and used and that people working at a height are competent to do so. Equipment used for work at height must be properly inspected and maintained, while risks from fragile surfaces must be properly controlled.

Work must be planned, organised, supervised, and carried out by competent persons, using the following hierarchy of controls:

Avoid work at height wherever possible where Prevent falls where work at height cannot be avoided by using suitable measures, such as guard rails or work platforms, that protect all workers Mitigate falls: minimise the distance and consequences of a fall where the risk of a fall cannot be eliminated by using personal protective equipment such as fall arrest systems Take additional measures if it is not reasonably practicable to avoid, prevent or mitigate falls, such as the provision of additional instruction and training, and the demarcation of edges with painted lines Set up protection schemes to prevent injuries to people below from dropped tools, securing all tools from falling and taking every precaution underneath workers to prevent any objects that are dropped from falling on those standing below (a claw hammer dropped from 6m is equivalent of attaining 24 mph/39kph on impact with an impact weight of 117kgs) If the workplace contains an area in which there is a risk of someone being struck by a falling object or person, ensure that the area is clearly indicated and that, as far as is reasonably practicable, unauthorised people are unable to access it

For those who do not work at height very often or are unsure about which type of access equipment to use, it is important that the risks are assessed and the right equipment for the job is selected.

If it is a light duty task that will take less than 30 minutes and the task can be completed mostly with one is needed, a ladder, step ladder or combination ladder may be appropriate.

If the task is less than 3.8m high and two hands are needed to complete the job, a podium step or folding platform may be required.

For tasks above 3.8m or which need access in the same place for an extended period, a prefabricated scaffold tower may be suitable.

If the work comprises several tasks up to 15.9m high and not all in the same place, the best solution may be a MEWP (Mobile Elevated Work Platform) or powered access equipment For longer duration work at height in a fully guard-

PECM713.indd 21

railed work zone with a larger work area and work load capacity, towers may be needed.

The overriding criteria when selecting equipment for work at height are: use the most suitable equipment; give collective protection measures (e.g. guard rails) priority over personal protection measures (e.g. safety harnesses); take account of the working conditions and the risks to the safety of all those at the place where work equipment is to be used.

The Work at Height Regulations 2005 apply to all work at height where there is a risk of a fall liable to cause personal injury. It places duties on employers, the selfemployed, and any person who controls the work of others (e.g. facilities managers or building owners who may contract others to work at height) to the extent they control the work. It is the responsibility of all companies involved in working at height to know the law surrounding worker safety and dropped objects, and to follow it accordingly.

Fluid Handling Basics of Magnetic Drive Pump Technology

Innovative cryogenic valves introduced by Boiswood A new range of novel cryogenic valves from Stoehr has been introduced by Boiswood. A major advantage of the patented FREES valves for vacuum jacketed pipes is that they can be installed in any position, making it possible to reduce the length of pipework required. Positioning the valves horizontally for example can allow installation in height restricted locations.

Magnetic drive pumps are a centrifugal pump in which the motor is coupled to the pump by magnetic technology rather than by a mechanical shaft. The pump consists of three main parts: the driving magnet, the driven magnet, and the magnet cup.

The driving magnet is connected to the motor and is radially aligned with the driven magnet, the latter of which is connected to the pump.

The magnets are separated by the magnet cup, which acts as a static

FREES valves are available in stainless steel as well as specialty materials such as titanium, Hastelloy and Monel.

resulting in a ‘seal-less’ (sans mechanical seal) design. This barrier is also referred to as a hermetic seal. The driving magnet magnet rotates as power is applied to the motor and the driven magnet follows suit, compelled by magnetic attraction.

Nov Mono® Ezstrip™ Pumps Improve Transfer Operations for Global Manufacturer

NOV MONO EZstrip™Technology Helps Improve Biogas Production Efficiency

Proven performance, reduced maintenance costs and easy availability of spares has lead to two EZstrip™ progressing cavity transfer pumps from NOV Mono® being installed by a global leader in the production of print, packaging and other associated materials. The pumps have been installed at a wastewater treatment plant in Lower Saxony, Germany which serves the manufacturing facility.

The ability to reduce the time taken for an average maintenance operation from 1 day to just 1 hour was one of the key reasons why an EZstrip™ maintain-inplace, progressing cavity transfer pump from NOV Mono was selected by a large wastewater treatment plant in Germany.

The previous pumps used for lime dosing duties at the plant had required considerable amounts of maintenance and created high repair costs.

This made the maintain-in-place nature of Mono’s EZstrip™ pumps very attractive and prompted the customer to try one and monitor its performance carefully.

The Mono pump has been installed at the Karanlage Plön site in SchleswigHolstien, and transfers sewage sludge to an anaerobic digester where it is used to create biogas. Operating at a duty speed of 294 rpm, the pump transfers the sludge at a rate of 15m3 per hour, and lifts it a height of 18 metres into the digester.

NOV Mono Introduces New Api-Compliant Progressing Cavity Pumps For Oil And Gas Applications The launch of a new range of API 676-compliant progressing cavity (PC) pumps has focused attention on the ability of NOV Mono to supply pumping solutions Mono’s PC technology is ideally suited to the typically arduous applications found in this sector, where solidscuttings and produced waters need to be transferred EZstripTM pumps provide a practical, reliable and while also resisting the effects of abrasion without gas locking. This makes them ideal for many types of oil, gas and mud handling duties in drilling, exploration, production, processing and separation operations.

The new pumps feature a long-coupled, full-size base frame design that incorporates a drip tray in accordance with the API 676 Third edition. Supplied complete with a mechanical seal to API 682 Category 1, the pumps also incorporate Mono’s revolutionary EZstripTM technology which provides a quick and easy way to disassemble and fully maintain them in-situ. This can dramatically reduce the time needed to replace a rotor, stator, coupling rod and drive train by up to 95%.

The self-priming pumps can be manufactured from different materials to suit different applications, ranging from mild and stainless steel through to traceable and NACEare bi-directional, which allows them to be mounted horizontally or vertically, and the positive seal formed by rotor and stator makes them ideal for low net positive suction head applications.

The gentle action of the new pumps prevents the through the pump, and the low rubbing velocity of the metal rotor against the stator, ensures low rates of abrasion and wear, while rotors with specialist coatings can also be supplied to provide additional wear and corrosion resistance.

In addition to the many standard features which are offered by API 676 EZstrip pumps, are options such as dry run protection, ATEX and API 682 seal systems. including electric well head drives, plunger lift and operations, on both conventional and unconventional gas wells.

Mono’s track record as a supplier of PC pumps to the oil and gas industry is reinforced by the creation of a industry expertise and support for customers, as well as its associations with parent company, National Oilwell Varco (NOV), which has been a world-leader in providing advanced technology solutions to this sector since 1841.

The specialist equipment is as tall as a house at 7.3 metres and was signed off by a visiting delegation from China this week.

ITP Group develops and manufactures measurement Warwickshire. Over the last 35 years, the business has supplied over 3000 machines in 30 countries on every continent. Customers include motor manufacturers and the company also makes bespoke machines for the nuclear power industry and Formula One constructors. to source granite for their machines, but as export opportunities to Asia have grown it is now a base from which a sales team operates.

Founder and managing director of the Group, Dick Turpin, says: “Doing business with China is different people to smoke in meetings, for instance, there is a reverence for age and experience and a focus on hospitality. I quickly learned that I was better relying on sketches and models than on interpreters.”

The Chinese space programme is expanding rapidly and so is the Republic’s satellite use. In the period Space. In the next 12 months the target is 26. Each of these satellites will use an ITP machine to measure

Dick continues: “Building a machine for Chinese satellite maker might seem a bit unusual, but these large scale multi-function CMMs are suitable for any automotive, aerospace or nautical application where traditional machine tools are too cumbersome or

somewhere high enough to construct the machine and house it, because our usual factory is only 6m high.

Thankfully, we were able to locate and lease an empty 6000 foot² unit nearby that was just big enough and had 8.5m under a 25 ton crane. I am proud to say that it has been designed and built entirely in Rugby using local expertise.” from Beijing Spacecraft travelled to England this week (30th July) to view and sign it off.

The delegation was headed by Xu Shuxia, general accountant, who said: “It is important to us to have equipment that accurately measures our satellites because they represent a substantial investment. We know the expertise for creating these machines is in England and that’s why we ordered from ITP.” ITP will also undertake servicing and calibration work annually. http://www.itpgroup.co.uk/about_itp/about_itp.html

High temperature pressure sensor The latest in the PI22 series pressure sensors from ifm electronic Ltd is remarkable in a number of ways: it can work at medium temperatures up to 200°C (from as low as 25 °C below zero), and register pressures up to 25bar with an 80bar overload.

The National Meteorological Service of Germany relies on sensor technology from Austria The Austrian sensor specialist E+E Elektronik wins the contract from the National Meteorological Service of Germany (Deutscher Wetterdienst; DWD) to equip its weather stations with new humidity/temperature transmitters.

The PI22 can be what the user wants it to be: connect only two wires and it becomes a loop-powered 4-20mA pressure transmitter, with a display; connect three or four wires and it can be a pressure switch with two independent switchpoint settings. However it is connected, the PI22 series is still a hygienic, accurate pressure sensor.

As the national meteorological service for the Federal Republic of Germany, the DWD is the nation’s highest authority for meteorology, weather and climate and operates almost 2000 weather monitoring points and stations.

All previous humidity transmitters across the entire measurement network are to be replaced by 2015. The high-end transmitters deliver precise measurement results for exact weather and climate forecasts.

stainless-steel body construction and IP69K rating ensure that the PI22 series is perfect for food production.

The humidity/temperature transmitters in use here are the EE33 series (type J). The devices feature high-precision and reliable measurement results even under the most challenging of ambient conditions.

New flexible gas detection & gas safety system International Gas Detectors (IGD) has launched its TOC-640 and PGF-30 series Gas Detection and Gas Safety Control Systems.

Announcing these new systems, Managing Director of IGD stated:

Andrew

Collier,

“With our new systems we want to make maximum use of new technologies. This enables us to produce systems that are faster and easier to install and operate.

In operation users want clear indication to know exactly what has been detected, where it is and what action to take. Older analogue systems don’t provide this.

Our digital Gas Detection systems use network addressable technology allowing detectors and controllers to directly communicate. In this way alarms, calibration periods and any required intervention is clearly displayed, data can easily be provided to integrate to other systems or even emailed to provide site monitoring data, safety logs etc.

You just don’t get that level of clarity and security with older analogue technologies. Allied to that our detection technology continually advances to improve detection limits and extend sensor life further reducing operating costs and improving reliability for the user” A single cable can connect up to 32 devices; either

system or combined gas detection and gas proving/ gas safety controller (PGF-30), further minimising typical duplications and costs.

Addressable sensors are interconnected on a 4-core highway along with output nodes providing localised relays and displays. This approach further reduces duplicated cable runs commonly seen in the older analogue systems.

The TOC-640 has internal relay outputs, colour change display, 4-20mA, 0-10V and Modbus RS485 for full alarm and BMS/DCS integration. Existing older input modules.

The TOC-640 enhances the successful addressable gas detection family within IGD covering systems from 1 to 250 device solutions.

Measurement & Monitoring SPECTRO Analytical’s iQ II EDXRF Spectrometer delivers precise, accurate analysis even in sulphur-free fuels

SDM - MTL’s NEW modular surge protector for process I/O loops MTL’s new modular surge protection device represents the next generation of the well-established SD series.

With the SD series’ already high performance and small footprint, the modularity of the new SD modular (SDM) now allows for the quick change of a module without having to disconnect any wiring. The tagging and locking strip is an integral feature to the base and is designed to retain modules under abnormal vibration and identify the voltage of the module even when not present. This builds on other features from the SD series such as fusing and disconnect, making the SD modular a feature rich evolution in the surge protection world.

The use of the SDM will mitigate the risks to the system of catastrophic failure and degradation caused by over-voltages and transients generated by heavy machinery or lightning. The reduction of this risk will enhance overall reliability and therefore increase availability.

The iQ II EDXRF Spectrometer from SPECTRO Analytical gives precise, accurate results for low sulphur content analysis of fuels. EDXRF analysis is widely used in this application, but the evolving regulatory environment requires constant development and advances in detection sensitivity. This is achieved in the iQ II through the use of polarised excitation. The instrument’s to EN ISO 13032 means it delivers reliable analysis of even sulphur-free fuels, placing it at the forefront of commercial benchtop EDXRF systems.

Conveniently Calibrate Plant Vacuum Gauges Why do vacuum gauges need to be calibrated?

The largest uncertainty when using vacuum gauges on a process plant is knowing when the process has caused drift or shifts of calibration. Many processes handle vapours and, if any condensation or deposition happens, the chances are it will also happen in the vacuum gauge. Many such gauges - Pirani, cold cathose and ion gauges - use thermal or ionisation cross-section measurements to infer the level of vacuum being experienced which may be coated with by-products from the process.

Even more rugged gauges such as capacitance manometers will be affected by depositions or particulates because any deposition will have mass and the gauge will weigh it, especially if it has a low range and therefore a very thin diaphragm.

Chell’s CalCube is a convenient solution to vacuum gauge calibration

As processes move away from their design parameter due to gauge “drift”, little about the quality of the process can be inferred from the instrumentation readings, so diagnosis is down to a skilled operator recognising when a batch of product does not conform.

This is too late! If the process is sensitive to the level of vacuum being achieved, then the cost of losing a batch could be astronomical - many times the cost of maintaining the plant properly in many cases.

With the inherent lack of ruggedness of many vacuum gauges, it is imperative that plant gauges are regularly calibrated and that the operator has spare, calibrated gauges ready to substitute as soon as he fears the process may have drifted away from

Not the least of concerns is the possible cross-contamination of the standard by a contaminated sensor gauges. So it has become tradition for gauges to be removed regularly from the plant and shipped to an external calibration laboratory for re-calibration and, in many cases, adjustment to compensate for the effects of contamination.

Chell’s in-house vacuum standards consist of three high-accuracy capacitance manometers having 20 years of continuous calibration history at national Standard level and these are monitored on a daily is also calibrated annually at National Standard level. At the atmospheric pressure end of the scale, the vacuum straight line generated by the capacitance manometers is calibrated against our 32” Schwien Merco-Master manometer giving us the lowest uncertainties in that pressure regime.

Chell’s customers thus enjoy the accumulated vacuum calibration requirements, Chell has the skills to customise CalCube to suit.

Analysing raw data in dynamic power applications facilitates improvements in electric drive effectiveness Jonathan Green, HBM’s Senior Sales Engineer close examination of the raw test data.

The development of electric or hybrid drive vehicles has become increasingly important as fuel prices continue to climb and environmental awareness gathers momentum. Engineers are constantly being these machines especially since electric-drive vehicles are generally perceived as having a limited range caused by inadequate battery technology.

Because of this a lot of effort has been expended on improving the range and operational capacity through developing more powerful batteries while designing lighter vehicles has also been a focus for improvements.

However, the focus on reducing valuable energy losses output at the road has proved elusive although it offers One of the challenges in gaining ground in this area is the development of improved measurement technology so that design engineers can more easily determine where improvements can be made. In many cases power analysers are often used to determine the motor input and torque transducers are used to determine

HBM’s GEN2i mobile high-speed data recorder is an award winning product continuous data logging and fast sweeps.

In addition, the various measurement devices are frequently supplied by different manufacturers and thus need to be laboriously synchronized before any test. The failure of engineers to undertake proper synchronisation can easily lead to measurement errors. However, engineers need to have reliable test and measurement equipment with adequate capability challenging machines can be improved.

electric motors. The difference between the respective electrical power input into the motor and the resulting mechanical power output by the electric motor is considered the energy loss.

To meet this demand HBM has developed its eDrive test solution as an alternative approach utilising its Genesis HighSpeed measurement data acquisition system and T12 torque transducer.

HBM believes that this is too crude and generic an approach to give engineers any detailed analysis about the cause of losses such as inverter control algorithms or motor functionality in certain conditions. For example, highly dynamic power measurements at more than

rather than the raw data that can provide important knowledge to facilitate understanding of the process

More recently variations in existing grades and some applications. One of the newer grades onto the market is Incoloy® 945 and 945X, which is set to replace the use of Inconel® 718 in well head equipment because of its equal performance, but is lower cost and is easier to machine. Inconel 690 and 693 were originally

In addition to this company boards are acutely aware of their corporate social responsibilities and the risk register is pored over at most large company Board meetings. This has led to demands for equipment suppliers and contractors to guarantee no failures in service and minimal environmental impact.

At the top of the high grade metals tree sits a range of nickel alloys that are used in the most aggressive of applications and in some cases there is no substitute for the use of nickel alloys in critical areas. Nickel has been used as an alloying element for over 2000 years, but it was in the 1940’s that Nimonic alloys were developed

Emergency Data Recovery What do you do when you lose access to your data ?

Panic, ring a friend, call tech support or restore from a backup ?

For many departments in any organisation the management of data is one that has to take priority not only for the smooth running of a business but also for legal reasons the excuse “the backup failed” is not one that would hold up if the data could affect legal, accounting or production data.

Most companies have a disaster recovery plan and multiple contingencies for handling data loss, such as data replication on servers, server storage arrays and external drives to Tape and cloud backups, but part of that plan should be the data recovery option.

The data recovery option is often used by clients who require a particular data set restored to the point in time the storage device failed, this is not necessarily the same as the as the last backup.

I will use a typical emergencies as an examples whilst the companies names are not mentioned:1. TV company storing edited video of a TV programme on a RAID storage appliance which had taken several days of post-production editing to get ready for future broadcast, the RAID fails and is inaccessible. After 6 weeks and the deadline approaching for the video footage to go to broadcast they have a choice do they redo the work and impact their ongoing production or have a data recovery company recover the data ?

Answer R3 Data Recovery is called and sends a dedicated CRB checked driver to the client who then brings it direct to the lab, drives are imaged and the data volume recovered and copied back to a return drive. The 3TB of video still took 1 week to recover but was completed within the time constraints that had to be met 2. Large scale conglomerate with multiple sites and over extended server infrastructure due for upgrade sustains successive power outages which affect the backup storage and results in 3 of the 4 drives in the RAID5 set to become degraded, the live data not yet backed up is critical to a European old. Server is shipped by dedicated driver from a European

city and loaded onto Eurostar then met at London Kings Cross station and couriered using GPS tracked CRB checked drivers to our lab. Although 3 of the 4 drives were in a severely degraded state the imaging of the drives is completed within 24 hours and data shipped back to clients London data centre and the data uploaded to a newly provisioned server ready for Monday morning start of business.

3. A school with an impressive virtualised server forest stored on a QNAP SAN experiences multiple drive failures and the result is the servers and data backup needed for exams results are inaccessible. Very few technicians in the world have RAID5 array where 2 of the drives failed and not necessarily at the same time. Each Lun contained multiple virtual drives containing at least one VM. Despite having QNAP support the onsite server support engineers are unable to restore the recovered luns and need the VHD’s and QNAP themselves are unable to assist.

4. A memory card containing wedding pictures taken by a professional photographer fails whilst taking pictures of the

As part of the recovery sometimes reveal corrupt data which has been stored and backed up for many months and sometimes years.

So if you don’t have a data recovery company as part of your disaster recovery plan now is the time to think about contacting us, we can help with data data recovery, data restoration and data validation. R3 Data Recovery Ltd 0800 999 3282 4264 www.r3datarecovery.com

Efficient engineering through CAE Companies that evolve with the latest engineering design project turnaround times, enhanced product quality and security. Ken Christie, director of EPLAN UK, explains how the complete computer aided engineering solutions can be intrinsically linked across all areas of a business to create synergy between engineering disciplines and processes. drawings instead of CAE systems like EPLAN are forced to deal with the accompanying lists and documents that have to be researched and assembled separately; a cumbersome method for high-tech industries. EPLAN numbering, device tagging and the generation of BOMS as well as wiring lists.

Advanced Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) programs have allowed these functions to be performed automatically, instantaneously and accurately; reducing the amount of manual data entry and error-checking to be done by engineers at each stage of a project.

Ultimately this allows businesses to reduce costs, increase productivity and shorten their time-to-market.

ABB and Festo, B&R and Phoenix Contact, the software offers what is believed to be the most comprehensive list of components on any system of its kind. The EPLAN Data portal incorporates 250,000 components and device data which are designed, managed and controlled by the manufacturers, guaranteeing the accuracy and precision of part drawings and documentation.

The Data Portal therefore enables users to select and apply the data or components required for a Mr Ken Christie, director of EPLAN UK project with a single keystroke, reducing time spent on drawings by up to 80 per cent.

The software can be easily implemented into a company’s IT infrastructure and integrate seamlessly with a company’s internal systems to ensure effective communication between sales, purchasing, accounting, manufacturing, and service departments.

Bürkert Fluid Control Systems, the leading manufacturer When the company came to review its IT requirements, it also took the opportunity to re-evaluate its software and design needs and quickly realised that EPLAN could help “We use EPLAN for our control panel projects and it has integration of PLCs and HMIs and the production of reports such as BOMs. We are also able to integrate other parts of the control panel project such as manuals, datasheets, and Solidworks designs into EPLAN, which is then sent to the customer as a PDF upon completion of the project,” explains Tom Carnell, engineering systems applications manager at the company.

To be totally effective as a modern engineering software package however, CAE programs must not only bring together a wide range of information and make it widely accessible, they must be able to accommodate new data formats and integrate with third-party software and new applications that emerge.

Leading the way in CAE software is EPLAN. EPLAN software has all the core functions required of harness and enclosure design.

The suite’s automatic error-checking features make it virtually impossible for errors to slip into project build packages. This ensures that new project planning does not set out on the wrong track and incur detrimental cost consequences in manufacturing and operation.

It is EPLAN’s sophisticated database that truly sets the software apart from other electrical design packages.

The scope of data and components that can be accessed via EPLAN’s Data Portal is extensive, including data

Demag tandem hoists promote workplace safety t New concept for working beneath suspended loads t Lifting solution for a wide variety industrial processes Hot-galvanising company, Helling & Neuhaus, in conjunction with Terex Material Handling and with input from the industrial employers’ mutual insurance association, has developed a solution which allows operators to work beneath suspended loads. The lift and lower sections of the two Helling & Neuhaus conveyor lines have each been equipped with two Demag double chain hoists, which are connected by means of a tandem control system. According to the the requirements of BGV D8 Plus hoists, is an innovative solution, which provides maximum safety for a wide range of industrial applications.

In many production facilities, including galvanising

PECM713.indd 70

plants, it is necessary for operators to work beneath suspended loads, which are held by chain hoists.

Applications such as these are subject to special safety requirements, which are laid down in the BGV D8 safety regulations.

Safe and reliable solution for D8 Plus hoists to meet risk assessment requirements Helling & Neuhaus GmbH, part of the Seppeler Group, operates two parallel production circuits at its plant in Gütersloh, Germany. The lifting motions at each of the pick-up and deposit stations were previously provided had met the customer’s requirements, but safety issues dictated the development of an alternative solution.

09/09/2013 17:48:04

Michael Rother, Engineering Director, stated: “Together with Terex Material Handling and the industrial carried out a risk assessment and analysis. On the basis of the results, a concept was developed to satisfy the requirements of the BGV 8 Plus regulations, allowing operators to work beneath the trolleys.�

The solution employed by the galvanising specialist utilises Demag LDC-D size 10 double chain hoists, which are paired to each other by a tandem control system. Developed for transporting long materials and spreader operation, the LDC-D has two mechanically synchronised chain lead-offs, which are rigidly connected to each other by a common frame. The LDC-D unit drives a separate lifting block that has its own chain drive via a connecting shaft.

To accommodate load-dependent lifting speeds of up to 24 m/min, the LDC-D units are designed for high handling rates. In addition, they provide for longer chain service life as there are no additional chain return sprockets.

High safety and reliability for lifting and lowering The four attachment and removal stations employed at Helling & Neuhaus comprise six metre-long I-beam

sections, which are integrated into the conveyor track.

They are held by two stationary LDC-D double chain hoists, which have a hook centre distance of 800 mm.

When a spreader trolley reaches one of the stations, section is lowered to allow the parts to be attached for the galvanising process.

Two chain lead-offs also double the level of safety.

Synchronised operation of the hoists is also monitored by the tandem control system. This arrangement ensures that the four hooks are always level with each other during lifting and lowering motions. Even if one of the chains were to break, the load bar would remain in a stable position. The lifting and lowering stations operate with several secondary safety features, including a double brake system, to ensure optimum safety and reliability for workers. www.demagcranes.co.uk August/September 2013 PECM
