Wood stoves test system

The system allows to realize comparative tests on wood stoves working in different environmental conditions; It is built by a SCADA client station and a TCP/IP server linked to a network of data acquisition modules. In the test room a Pt100 temperature sensor matrix measures accurately the spatial thermal diffusion. In the SCADA system, temperatures are shown as thermographic maps in order to give a first view of the thermal situation. In order to relate temperature distributions with environmental parameters, data acquisition system has been integrated with internal and external humidity measures, atmospheric pressure measure and smoke temperatures measure. The system records gathered data, allowing successive analysis. It is also possible to analyse every measure group trend in time related charts. FOR MORE INFORMATION

Controllo qualità nei trattamenti termici dei metalli

Il sistema è stato realizzato per garantire il controllo qualità sui trattamenti termici eseguiti in un reparto composto da forni eterogenei (forni multicamera, rinvenimenti, forni a pozzo, forni di tempra e di ricottura), sostituendo i tradizionali registratori a carta e generando rapporti di produzione. I forni, ognuno dotato della propria strumentazione (Plc Siemens, regolatori Eroelectronic e Gefran, registratori), possono eseguire diversi tipi di trattamento (bonifica, ricottura, cementazione, rinvenimento). Il sistema raccoglie i dati dei trattamenti di tutto l'impianto in parallelo (moduli di acquisizione dati) alla strumentazione di controllo esistente senza perturbarne il funzionamento; i dati raccolti (temperature, percentuali carbonio) vengono confrontati continuamente con i valori delle curve teoriche impostate nelle ricette al fine di verificare la qualità del processo. Al termine di ogni processo produttivo vengono stilati i rapporti di produzione che riportano i dati anagrafici delle cariche, le curve delle grandezze del processo e gli eventuali allarmi verificatisi. Tutti dati storici e tutti i rapporti vengono esportati in formato compatibile con Microsoft Office e resi disponibile in rete per il reparto controllo qualità. Gli allarmi provenienti dai processi, dalle macchine vengono registrati e telesegnalati al personale addetto alla manutenzione e, in caso di impianto non presidiato, al personale di sorveglianza. Due stazioni PClog client e un server PClog TCP/IP forniscono l'interfaccia operatore del sistema e garantisco l'integrità dei dati e la continuità di funzionamento dell'impianto. Questo sistema si presta ad essere impiegato in tutte quelle realtà produttive nelle quali sia necessario avere una visione di insieme sulla qualità di più processi eseguiti in parallelo su più macchine non dotate di supervisione locale.

Quality control in metal heat treatment

The system has been designed to ensure the quality control for heat treatments in a plant division equipped with heterogeneous furnaces (multi-chamber furnaces, pit furnaces, tempering and hardening furnaces), replacing traditional paper recorders and creating production report. Furnaces are equipped with their own instrumentation (PLCs, Eroelectronic/Gefran controllers, recorders) and can perform different kind of heat treatments (hardening, tempering, annealing, stabilization, normalization). The system gathers heat treatments measures of all division from a parallel data acquisition network without entering any interference to the existing control instrumentation; collected data (temperatures, carbon percentages) are continuously referred to theoretical curves values set in every production recipe to verify the quality of the process. At the end of every production process, reports are generated containing load identification data, process variable curves and alarms. All historical data and reports are exported in a Microsoft Office compliant format and extended to the quality control division. Alarms coming from process and machines are recorded and broadcast to maintenance staff and, in case of not guarded plant, to surveillance staff. Two PClog client stations and a PClog server TCP/IP provide system HMI, ensure data integrity and maintain plant work continuity. This system is well suited in those cases where it is important to have global vision of several process executed by several machines without local HMI. FOR MORE INFORMATION

Winlog Pro integrates the BACnet protocol

Now Winlog Pro SCADA software supports the BACnet over IP protocol. BACnet, defined by ASHRAE (American Society of Heating and Air-conditioning Engineers) is a protocol designed specifically for building automation and control systems such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, access control and fire detection. The BACnet protocol defines a number of services that are used to communicate between building devices. The protocol services include Who-Is, I-Am, Who-Has, I-Have, which are used for Device and Object discovery. Services such as Read-Property and Write-Property are used for data sharing. As of ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2016, the BACnet protocol defines 60 object types that are acted upon by the services. Winlog Pro supports a subset of BACnet objects as Analog Input/Output, Binay Input/Output, Calendar and Scheduler etc. FOR MORE INFORMATION

Supervisione dei quadri di bassa e media tensione

La liberalizzazione del mercato dell'energia assieme alla possibilità di scegliere tariffe differenziate e mirate rendono sempre più conveniente l'impiego di un sistema di supervisione atto a monitorare i consumi e i costi energetici dei quadri elettrici di bassa e media tensione. La disponibilità di una piattaforma scada come Winlog Pro, dotata di oggetti specifici per la costruzione di schemi unifilari, la rappresentazione di quadri elettrici, la contabilizzazione di consumi e costi energetici, l'impostazione di calendari tariffari, ha reso possibile lo sviluppo di una serie di applicazione di supervisione in grado di offrire non solo un monitoraggio dello stato di funzionamento dell'impianto elettrico, ma anche la concreta possibilità di migliorarne l'efficienza generale. La visualizzazione degli schemi unifilari con interruttori animati e linee che cambiano colore al passaggio della corrente consente di evidenziare i flussi dell'energia, individuare tempestivamente situazioni anomale e prevenire i superamenti di potenza; la rappresentazione di consumi e costi energetici delle singole utenze e di tutto l'impianto sotto forma di istogrammi giornalieri, mensili e annuali offre una panoramica ideale per analizzare e ottimizzare i consumi; la possibilità di programmare il calendario annuale applicando diversi schemi tariffari fornisce una strumento insostituibile per fare preventivi di costo e individuare la tariffa più adatta alle proprie esigenze.

Supervision of low and medium voltage networks

The continuous increase of energy costs together with the possibility to select the most suitable contract among different energy providers make more and more convenient a supervisory system able to ensure a continuous monitoring of power consumption and energy costs of low and medium voltage networks. Thanks to Winlog Pro SCADA software, it has been possible to develop many supervisory applications able to provide both the continuous monitoring of the electrical network and the possibility to increase the overall efficiency. Winlog Pro includes a series of internal objects especially designed to display electrical schemes and cabinets, to monitor power consumption, to calculate energy costs using both real or simulated calendars with different fares according to date and time. Display of electrical schemes with animated switches and lines changing colour according to current path allow highlighting of energy flows, quick spotting of abnormal operation and prevention of possible power overflow. Monitoring of power consumption and energy costs of single user lines and of the overall network in the form of daily, monthly and yearly bar charts provide an ideal report for analysis and optimization of the electrical network; the possibility to program the yearly calendar with different fares according to date and time is an essential tool to prepare a budget plan and select the contract more suitable for anyone's requirements.
