Intellilaser Manages Industrial Process Plant Data

Aveva has launched its Intellilaser product, which enables owner operators of industrial process plants to cost effectively add intelligence to otherwise unintelligent laser-scan data. Offered as an extension to the Aveva Net information-management solution, Intellilaser automatically creates the associations between objects within the laser scan and asset tag information, helping owner operators to reduce operational cost and risk. Aveva Intellilaser integrates laser-scanned data into an organisation's asset-management strategy.

It does this by creating intelligent 'hotspots' that automatically link piping and equipment to all their associated plant information for access through Aveva Net. The benefits include: intelligent digital visualisation supports low-risk plant familiarisation and training for staff and suppliers; rapid and effective communication of procedures, emergency response, instrumentation, safety systems and site regulations; intelligent laser scans enable users to navigate and measure items without exposing personnel to the dangers of a live site; rapid response; photo-realistic, laser-scan views are automatically linked to the asset data model produced by Aveva Net - this provides a highly intuitive means of finding plant information; it is very quick to produce new, intelligently linked scans, allowing operators to systematically add data that ensures the ever-green state of the digital plant.

Aveva Intellilaser incorporates LFM Netview technology developed by Z and F. It is built on the Aveva Net information-management solution for easy integration with both Aveva and third-party applications. Aveva Intellilaser will be formally launched at Spar Europe in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, on 7 and 8 December 2010, where live demonstrations will be given.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
