Data Acquisition Processor Helps Provide In-Place Diagnosis of Control Valves Home Products Applications Data Acquisition ... Search A data acquisition processor is one of the keys to the ability of a new instrument to provide in-place diagnosis of control valves. In-place diagnosis is a major breakthrough because removing a control valve in a process plant for testing in a repair shop is expensive: it usually requires shutting down process equipment for hours or even days. The new instrument makes this unnecessary by providing a hardware platform that can operate right next to the valve, withstanding rugged plant conditions and performing diagnostic tests in a matter of minutes. A key to the performance of the new instrument is the use of a data acquisition processor that runs mission-critical real-time operations independent from the non-real-time graphical user interface. This approach makes it possible to deliver the performance and reliability of high-end dedicated hardware while using relatively inexpensive industry-standard personal computer hardware and software. Benchmark Control Valve Diagnostics In-place diagnosis is a major breakthrough because removing a control valve in a process plant for testing in a repair shop is expensive: it usually requires shutting down process equipment for hours or even days. The new instrument makes this unnecessary by providing a hardware platform that can operate right next to the valve, withstanding rugged plant conditions and performing diagnostic tests in a matter of minutes... [while it] provides the economy and ease of use of industry-standard hardware and software along with true real-time data acquisition and control. It takes control of the valve... and moves it through a series of prescribed motions. It measures diaphragm pressure and displacement in order to determine diaphragm positioning accuracy and seal integrity. ...The result is a dramatic reduction in downtime and maintenance expenses.

The SCADA Gospel The Editted archives of the SCADA Mailing list Ian Wiese Tek Soft Consulting The SCADA Mailing List has been a forum for discussions relating to standards in the SCADA industry for many years. It has evolved into a valuable resource for SCADA professionals worldwide. This book is extracted from the archives of the mailing list, dating from Jan 1997 to July 1997. The messages have been editted, and sorted so that common themes are collected together. This version of the archive has been placed on the web to guage the demand to produce a complete archive, probably on a CD. It would be necessary to charge for the CD to make this effort worthwhile. The CD version would probably be in PDF format, and of much better quality. The best way to assess the extent of the information in these archives is to browse the index. I would appreciate feedback from anyone who would be interested in obtaining a copy of the complete archives when they are completely in this format. email me at ianw@iinet.net.au
