SCADA By providing both the sensing hardware and software needed to translate that sensor data into actionable intelligence, BScada has eliminated many of the obstacles that have prevented organizations from moving forward with their IoT initiatives. "The wait is finally over," said B-Scada marketing manager, Rich Hunzinger. "B-Scada is now positioned to provide full end-toend IoT solutions in nearly any vertical market. This is a great opportunity to help people get their IoT and smart city initiatives off the ground." B-Scada's sensor customers will be able to monitor their sensor data using B-Scada's popular data visualization software, providing real-time and historical data values, configurable alarms and notifications, and even the ability to design their own custom graphics using B-Scada's point-and-click graphic design application, Mimic Designer. One Series 1X Transmitter and Switch Line Provides Versatility, Capability and Economy in Industrial Process Monitoring United Electric Controls made a significant upgrade to its One series line of explosion-proof, programmable transmitters and switches. The line compresses all of the functionality of the preceding line into only five models while adding new operational, programming and diagnostics capabilities. United Electric Controls One series instruments provide unique alternatives to both conventional mechanical switches and transmitters for controlling operations such pumps and compressors, lubrication oil monitoring, hydraulic pressure, filter status and other industrial applications based on temperature or pressure. The One series line offers these advantages by providing switch only, transmitter only and hybrid transmitter-switch models. Customers choose from among the following new One Series instruments based on their requirements for integrated switching and sensing, intrinsic safety, power level and power source. * * * * * For integrated switching and transmitter, model 1XTXSW provides a loop-powered 24 VDC HART enabled smart-transmitter, with two programmable set point fail-safe solid state relays rated at 0-280 VAC/VDC @ 0.3 A. For high voltage, low current switching only, model 1XSWHL provides a 2-wire input powered switch for 110 and 230 VAC and 125 VDC logic solver inputs, with a programmable set point switch rated at 70 - 240 VAC/VDC at 0.1 A max. For low voltage, low current, intrinsically safe switching only, model 1XSWLL provides a 2-wire input powered switch for 24 and 48 VDC logic solver inputs, with a programmable set point switch rated at 7.8 - 50 VDC at 0.1 A max. For high voltage, high current switching only, model 1XSWHH provides a 4-wire externally powered programmable set point switch rated at 70 - 240 VAC @ 0.15 - 10 A For use as a transmitter only, model 1XTX00 provides a loop-powered 24 VDC HART enabled smart transmitter compliant to the NAMUR NE 43 standard. Both of the 2-Wire input powered switch models mentioned above (model 1XSWLL and 1XSWHL) utilize existing wiring and control schemes and can provide a drop-in replacement for mechanical switches. No wiring or control system programming changes are required, providing easy and cost-effective plant upgrades. All One series models have extensive diagnostics, programmability and trip management capabilities. Configurable I Am Working (IAW) self-diagnostics provide piece of mind that the instrument is functioning properly by communicating with the control system using a dedicated discrete fail-safe-open output. The integral digital process display shows what is happening in the process at a glance. Powerful plugged port diagnostics flag potentially dangerous sensor clogs and memorizes the highest and lowest process variables for process troubleshooting and learning. A programmable set point and deadband provides versatile, accurate and repeatable alarm and shutdown switching using the integral keypad. HART enabled models provide full access and control of all transmitter and switching functions using any registered HART communicator. A programmable trip delay, which holds off the trip decision for tenths of seconds up to several minutes, provides operators time to gather more data before initiating a shutdown. Nuisance trip filtering eliminates unwanted nuisance trips and unnecessary alarms; and an electronic trip counter records trips for up to two relays to assist with process adjustments and troubleshooting.
