eWON | Making the most of gas

8/3/2016

Comments

 
Picture
As natural resources are getting scarcer, it is increasingly important to get the most out of the energy sources we have. Using combined heat and power units is a smart way to optimize the use of energy and get both heat and power from the same generator. In Lollar, Germany, Bosch KWK Systems develops state-of-the-art heat and power units enabling their customer to become more energy-efficient. But as all advanced machinery, Bosch's heat and power units need maintenance every once in a while. With eWON remote routers, Bosch found a way to do this remotely.

Moxa | Secure Traffic Signal Control and CCTV Monitoring in a Harbor

6/10/2016

Comments

 
Picture
When the monitoring system along a key harbor corridor in a major American city needed updating, the system manager decided to use existing copper wiring to transmit data over significantly longer distances. As this project needed to integrate more systems into one network, serial networks were no longer sufficient to support the expanded network, which is why an industrial Ethernet technology over copper wires via a DSL was required to support more bandwidth over longer distances. In addition, VPN connections and firewall protection were required to ensure network safety and data integrity. Read More

Moxa | Building a Subsea Oil & Gas Control Application with Industry-Specific Cables

6/9/2016

Comments

 
Picture
For subsea control applications, great efforts are made to install industry-specific cables under the sea. In this project, the number one requirement is to leverage the existing infrastructure to reduce costs and time spent on installing cables. In addition, oil & gas environments are extremely hazardous due to the high pressures the products are subjected to, so the installation has to be quick and must support remote management and diagnosis.

IDEC | PLCs Control Massive Hangar Doors at San Francisco International Airport

6/6/2016

Comments

 
Picture
Micro PLCs from IDEC control 70,000-lb doors at a giant airplane maintenance hangar in San Francisco.A Boeing 747-400 is 232 ft. long, has a wing span of 212 ft. and a tail height of 64 ft.. It weighs close to 875,000 lbs. at takeoff. The Superbay Maintenance Hangar at the San Francisco International Airport can accommodate up to four of these massive airplanes at one time. The hangar has eight doors—four on each opposite sides—allowing access to this huge space measuring 500 x 540 ft, about the size of two football fields. 

Each hangar door (Figure 1) consists of two inner and two outer doors, each measuring 130 ft wide and 90 ft high to allow the planes to be towed in and pushed out using tow vehicles. Each door is made of two halves, each 65-ft wide, and weighs 74,000 lb. The door sections are mounted on dedicated rails (much like a train track), and the rails are offset so that adjacent doors can open and close without interfering with their neighboring door.

Digital Control System Upgrade Gives Hydropower Plant New Life

5/9/2016

Comments

 
Picture
Upgrading automation systems can often extend the life of power generation facilities by decades while reducing downtime, improving operations, and reducing required maintenance. The Maggotty plant in Jamaica offers one such example.
​

Many power generation facilities have equipment in good running order with many years or even decades of potential service life remaining, but operation is limited by the plant automation systems, which typically have much shorter service lives. Obsolete automation systems fail too frequently and are hard to support, causing excessive downtime. They are also very difficult to tie into other computing systems, which can hinder operational improvements and regulatory compliance.

PLC Upgrade Unlocks Testing Efficiency

10/6/2014

 
For air filter manufacturer K&N Engineering, a high number of simultaneous parallel processes taxed an older test system. A controls upgrade for the test stations doubled test-process efficiency.
K&N Engineering (www.kandn.com) manufactures washable performance air filters and air intake systems for a variety of systems, such as cars, trucks, motorcycles and industrial engines. The goal of this 45-year-old, Riverside, Calif., company is to design and manufacture air filters that provide maximum possible airflow while providing guaranteed engine protection. To do this, K&N Engineering tests all its air filters and intake systems at its laboratory facility, reaching cumulative filtration efficiency between 96 and 99 percent.   Read More >

Microbrewery Grows Big with Micro PLC

4/9/2012

Comments

 
Post by Quantum Automation.

Maintaining success is often harder than achieving it. For instance, a microbrewer may come up with an amazing new beer, but it quickly becomes so popular that its high-quality process is stressed by cries for high-volume production. Well, Green Flash Brewing Co. in San Diego, Calif., may have resolved some of this eternal quality vs. quantity tug o' war. Its new plant is controlled by a micro-programmable logical controller (PLC) that gives its meticulous microbrewing process some of the added efficiencies needed to produce more beer and compete with larger operations, while maintaining the quality and taste that made it famous in the first place. Read More --->

Powerful Programmable Controller Upgrades Tortilla Machine

8/4/2010

Comments

 
Picture
This production line from Casa Herrera mixes, divides, forms, presses, bakes and stacks tortillas. The entire line is monitored and controlled by a single high-performance programmable controller.
The Productivity3000 monitors and controls the entire machine via 365 discrete and analog inputs and outputs. Each of the 27 motor drives is interfaced to the controller via a high-speed Ethernet data link.
Casa Herrera builds tortilla preparation equipment for the corn and flour tortilla industry, provides equipment for the bakery and snack food industries, and is the preferred supplier to several national brands. We build several varieties of our machines to meet customer specifications, and we install and service all of the equipment we manufacture.

For one of our current design tortilla making machines (see Image 1), we wanted to upgrade the control system. We’ve been building the same machine for seven years, and mechanically it’s proven and reliable. The problem was with the PLC control system. Although the PLC we were using was reputed to be the best in the world, we experienced limitations due to slow speeds and information streaming interference, and the service was adequate at best.
