Honeywell Experion R300

Experion R310 continues to deliver on Honeywell’s commitment to enhance safety by minimizing the impact of incidents, keep plant on-line longer and reduce the total cost of ownership.  The latest innovation features integrated safety, peer-control data interface, C300 simulation, Series C digital input module with sequence of events, embedded, batch automation, alarm shelving and others.

Honeywell delivers balanced approach to safety integration that brings the benefits of operational integration while maintaining critical system segregation.  Experion R310 and Safety Manager 131 features control and safety integration at the peer communication level.

In sharing critical information between Safety Manager and the Experion C300 controller, the system can provide plant-wide SIS point data, diagnostics and system information, as well as alarms and events, operator displays and sequence of event information to any Experion station located in a plant. This integration allows plants to improve production by minimizing intervention and shutdowns, and recover more easily from process upsets and reduces hardware and installation costs.

The Peer Control Data Interface (PCDI) is a flexible set of C300 controller function blocks for direct communication with third party devices, such as analyzers and PLCs, using direct Modbus TCP communications over Ethernet, or conveniently multiplexing Modbus serial links over Ethernet to the C300 via a Modbus/TCP gateway.  This eliminates using Serial Interface Module hardware wiring so that end-users can use one redundant FTE network and reduce hardware and wiring costs, simplify installation and improve reliability.

The 2-port Modbus Firewall enhances Experion security by only allowing Modbus messages and a limited rate of Ethernet management messages to pass through; all other message types are blocked. It is rated for industrial environments and mounts on a DIN rail, typically near the Modbus device and requires no configuration.

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.
