The Schneider Electric Data Logger line of products are ultra low-power, autonomous wireless telemetry devices. The Data Logger 4G LTE-Dominant IIoT solution offers modularity and flexibility to remote data acquisition for secure and affordable infrastructure networks.
Data Logger provides SCADA connectivity with secure cloud-based or customer on premise storage of sensor data. The redundant communication concurrently supports 4G LTE, 3G, 2G, LPWAN and Bluetooth connectivity with an IP 68/NEMA 6P enclosure rating. The easy installation and operation means your Data Logger can be up and operating within minutes.
Remote monitoring means minimal maintenance, which lowers overall costs and increases efficiency.
Schneider Electric is now launching additions to the Data Logger line of products. The Data Logger LT and the Data Logger IS. These devices provide the same reliability and ruggedness as the current Data Logger, while offering customization to your specific application.
Along with these devices, two variants of “On Premise” architecture are now available. These options are for customers requiring information directed to and stored on the customer site. This architecture is compatible with SCADA and other back-office systems.
Take advantage of these opportunities to begin your wireless monitoring of remote assets. Know exactly what is occurring in your systems with this Schneider Electric wireless cellular technology.
EcoStruxure Geo SCADA Expert, formerly Control Microsystems ClearSCADA, is designed to transform field data into business-relevant information and optimize the operation and management of remote assets across critical infrastructures. Geo SCADA works equally well with smaller on-site SCADA systems as well as multiregional systems with layers of redundancy and scalability to millions of monitored points.
Using high performance graphics, geographical displays, historian analytics and intelligent alarms, Geo SCADA Expert delivers real-time data intelligence, transforming key process insights into information that is instrumental in optimizing operation efficiency and managing geographically dispersed assets.
Total cost of ownership is a critical factor in measuring the value of a SCADA system since it is a function of up-front and ongoing costs associated with product configuration, operation and maintenance.
Geo SCADA Expert helps to reduce costs across the entire system with optimized SCADA functionality, easy to modify and replicate object templates.
5580 Signal Conditioner & SW5580 Dual Channel Switch
Until now, monitoringreciprocating compressors has not been for the faint of heart. At installed costs often exceeding $100,000 per throw, incumbent solutions – although very capable and comprehensive – have been cost-effective for only the most critical class of machines conforming to API 618 standards.
But what about other units such as those conforming to ISO-13631? In all likelihood, they’re under monitored or even unmonitored because historically, the economics simply haven’t penciled out.
Enter the Metrix 5580smart signal conditioner and SW5580 dual channel switch. A fully configurable design means a single universal device can address various channel types including rod drop, frame vibration, impact, crosshead acceleration, as well as vibration, speed, and position measurements on the prime mover.
At installed costs of less than $10,000 per throw, the justification threshold for monitoring has been dramatically reduced – by a factor of 10X in some cases. Sensors, services, and a rightsized monitoringapproach that leverages your existing control system’s monitoring capabilities.
Hydrogen is an odourless, invisible gas with a colourful future. It is likely to play a significant part in the future of the physical transportation of power and as an environmentally friendly fuel to power transport. On a weight for weigh basis, the energy density of hydrogen is many times that of gasoline, diesel, or Li batteries.
However hydrogen is also highly combustible, and it’s highly probable that systems producing, distributing or using hydrogen, will need to comply with stringent codes and standards around safety and explosion prevention.
Many governments are rolling out long term hydrogen strategies, aiming at decarbonising a significant proportion of their energy use over the coming decades. Follow these links to 3 examples: USA, Europe Union & UK.
Where does Expo fit in?
As these plans are beginning to be realised, new infrastructure and supply chains are emerging. While some hydrogen will directly replace natural gas in existing infrastructure – for instance combustion in gas fired power stations, or in domestic hot water heating systems, a significant proportion will be used in applications for the first time – for instance road vehicle refuelling.
To drive these new applications, new end-users, manufacturers and OEMs will become involved in generating, moving, or using hydrogen – some with little or no previous experience with hazardous areas. That’s why specialist companies, such as Expo Technologies, are becoming increasingly involved. Our 60+ years of hazardous area know-how, developed from supporting hydrocarbon industries, directly maps to the hydrogen supply chain.
Expo has already worked on a number of projects across the vehicle refuelling sector – you can read some recent case studies here:
