Honeywell Experion Mobile Station

Wireless technology extends the scope of process automation beyond the control room. Honeywell’s Mobile Station is the first wireless mobile productivity solution that extends access to critical process information, historical data, graphics and other key functions to the field. Mobile Station comprises a powerful family of solutions for relaying control system information to remote users where and when needed. Whether using Honeywell’s eServer technology or a direct Station connection, these solutions are optimized for specific customer applications, ranging from read-only access over the Intranet by multiple casual users, to secure system access for mobile operators.

Using a wireless Station tablet or other handheld device, Mobile Station solutions simplify security and minimize performance impact on the control system. This uses existing Station displays and HMIWeb technology to eliminate costly and error-prone display re-engineering.

Ways to implement Mobile Station include:
  • Mobile Access for eServer Standard - Enables Web-based, device-independent access to process information. As a highly scalable, zero footprint solution, this allows plant data to be viewed directly on a wireless handheld device using a Web browser.
  • Mobile Access for eServer Premium - Enables dynamic, read-only access to process information. This solution dynamically delivers system data and displays from the Experion system directly to a wireless handheld device. Designed as a read-only solution, this prevents unwanted access to control functions while still viewing live process graphics in a secure environment.
  • Mobile Access for Station — Provides a fully functional Experion Station on a handheld device. Operational changes, strictly controlled by the system permissions assigned to the operator and handheld device, can be made to the Experion system.

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.
