Editor’s Choice Pelco by Schneider Electric has introduced its Sarix TI thermal imaging camera systems. Built on the Sarix platform, with built-in analytics and IP capability, the Sarix TI thermal imaging series is a total security solution. Available in both fixed and pan/tilt models, Sarix TI delivers added performance and a reasonable price point for a thermal imaging camera system. “The concept of Thermal Imaging in security is not new,” says Dave Stanfield, Pelco by Schneider Electric senior product marketing manager. “However, Sarix TI, by combining the best in networked video technology with the latest in thermal imaging science, has resulted in a total product family that is resonating with security professionals everywhere based upon its ease of integration, advanced image quality, and range of resolutions, lenses and price points.” Pelco Releases the Sarix TI infrastructure projects and with other federal agencies on green building, energy efficiency, and other programs we have been involved in. It is a significant achievement and opportunity for KEMA over the next few years.” Telit Wireless Solutions, Inc.’s CC864-DUAL cellular M2M module will provide connectivity for the advanced wireless ignition interlock device from Consumer Safety Technology, Inc. (CST). The Intoxalock Home and Mobile eLERT (electronic live event reporting technology) devices are units that combine the Intoxalock ignition interlock device with Telit’s CC864-DUAL to allow law enforcement officers and fleet managers to wirelessly watch over at-risk motorists and keep drunk drivers off the road. The Intoxalock Home and Mobile eLERT units instantly upload breath sample information to Intoxalock’s secure online WebLog Reporter. Enabled by the Telit CC864-DUAL module with GPS capabilities, authorities can also access essential driving information, including a vehicle’s coordinates, speed and route, with date and time stamps to remotely monitor offenders. To ensure user adherence, the Intoxalock unit includes a small, mountable camera for positive identification of the sample provider and sensors to detect tampering or device circumvention. With its compact design, and extended operating temperature range of -30°C to 80°C, Telit’s CC864-DUAL is well suited for medium-to-highvolume M2M applications and mobile data and computing devices. In addition to other value-added features, the CC864-DUAL incorporates standalone GPS and gpsOne capabilities for applications in mobile environments such as telematics, personal and asset tracking, as well as overthe-air maintenance and management of software in the module to protect customer investments. Telit and Intoxalock Keep Drunk Drivers Off the Road With Wireless Breath Alcohol Device TC Communications new managed eight or 14-port industrial Ethernet DIN Rail switch supports mission critical applications for redundant ring networks in power utilities, SCADA and industrial automation environments. The Model TC3314 supports 6 or 12 copper 10/100Base-TX ports and two 1000Base-TX/LX SFP ports. It enables distances to more than 60 miles and offers a one-fiber, bi-directional option to maximize fiber optic cable usage. Intended for industrial Ethernet applications, the TC3314 is a robust, feature-laden network solution for all types of networks including industrial automation, process control, SCADA, power utilities, oil refineries, transportation, traffic control and rail systems. Networking features including rapid and multiple spanning tree (RSTP/ MSTP), QoS, VLAN, network time protocol (NTP) and rate limiting. Diagnostics include unique features such as built-in operation current, voltage and temperature monitoring sensors and remote optical measurements for launch power and sensitivity. An Industrial Hardened version supports temperature ranges from -40ºC to 80ºC and meets or exceeds all pertinent industrial environmental specifications including IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613 and NEMA TS-2. Power redundancy is standard and source options include 12 VDC, 24 VDC, -48 VDC or 115/230 VAC. New Managed Industrial Ethernet DIN Rail Switch Targets Power Utility and SCADA Networks KEMA is now authorized as a Seaport-Enhanced (Seaport-e) prime contractor to offer engineering and program management support services to the Navy, up to 2014. Through the Seaport-e contract, all naval agencies including the Navy Systems Commands, the US Marine Corps and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, can issue Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity, multiple award contracts (MACs) to procure support services in 22 areas. The SeaPort-e MAC program has a five-year base contract period, which began in 2008, with the option for a five-year contract period extension. The total contract ceiling is more than $123 Billion (including the extension option). “This is the first large-scale federal contract KEMA has earned,” said Mark Burke, KEMA vice president and lead contract manager for the Seaport-e contract. “With this award, KEMA can now serve as a prime contractor and expand our services with the Navy on innovative smart grid KEMA Named a Seaport-Enhanced Prime Contractor for The US Navy ProSoft Technology has released a barcode scanner feature for the ProSoft i-View, a mobile SCADA phone application for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch devices, designed to provide a window into an PAC/PLC by creating a wireless interface via a ProSoft Technology 802.11 industrial wireless solution. Mobile or remote workers with authorized devices are able to monitor and modify control data wirelessly, and now, using the new barcode scanner feature, are able to scan information from skids, pallets and products and have it automatically recorded to the PLC. With ProSoft i-View, control engineers can remotely monitor and modify live data from programmable automation controllers (PAC) on an EtherNet/ IP or Modbus TCP/IP network including flow measurements, valve control, process data and status data. For 802.11 plant-floor network access, the WiFi function of the phone can be utilized in conjunction with ProSoft Technology 802.11 Industrial Hotspot solutions. ProSoft i-View displays live process control values in stylized lists and includes user-established variance allowances with real-time alarms including local notifications. Controls and data displays are color coded based on the value. Engineers are able to monitor these variables in real time and make adjustments on the fly from an iPhone device. Upon configuration, ProSoft i-View requires the user to assign a matching security code as both a password for network access and as a security tag in the central processing unit (CPU) of the PAC. When ProSoft i-View launches, the security code must match that on the CPU in order to create a connection. ProSoft i-View also supports the Retina Display feature of applicable devices.
