PROCESS CONTROL
Metso Expertune PlantTriage, a control loop monitoring system, oversees process control loops night and day, diagnoses and prioritises opportunities for improvements, and pinpoints major economic paybacks data, enabling users to make more informed decisions.
“ With a fanless, solid-state design and industrial-strength components, GE’ s SCADA
Edge is built for maximum reliability and system uptime. The CPU and memory are soldered to the board, boosting reliability and resistance to shock and vibration. In addition, GE’ s patented heat dissipation technology allows the unit to perform in extreme temperature conditions. This enables customers to collect data and get better insights in the harshest of environments.”
The SCADA Edge IPC is available in both a stand-alone or networked configuration. In a standalone configuration, the SCADA Edge IPC is able to connect and collect data locally. The node can then transfer historical data to a central historian for analysis and reporting. Local alarms also can be used to notify and alert field or control room personnel if needed. In a networked
& Controls solutions“ provides the intelligent processing power needed to sift through vast amounts of data to uncover actionable information that can be used to proactively manage today’ s brilliant machines and factories.”
With SCADA / HMI software preinstalled on its rugged IPCs, GE says it is able“ to deliver streamlined, real-time visibility and control right out of the box, improving decision-making, increasing operator effectiveness and reducing downtime in small- and medium-sized industrial applications through faster and smarter reactions at the plant floor level. The SCADA Edge IPC provides operators and engineers with the trusted technology and robust performance engine needed to precisely monitor and control every aspect of their environment, equipment and resources.”
“ The Industrial Internet is the new normal for today’ s factories and infrastructure,” said Vibhoosh Gupta, Product Management Leader, GE’ s Automation & Controls solutions.“ However, there is quite a bit more to the Industrial Internet than just collecting high-speed data from miles of connected infrastructure. Without a meaningful way to optimise and process data, the immense scope of information being generated by today’ s connected machines poses a real challenge for today’ s engineers and operators. This valuable data must be used to increase productivity and throughput. That’ s why we have created a combined, preconfigured offering that integrates our IPCs and our advanced automation software.”
GE’ s SCADA Edge IPC provides an integrated solution to help meet the needs of an increasingly connected industrial space. Built on GE’ s EP industrial PC platform, the new SCADA Edge unit comes preconfigured with either GE’ s iFIX or CIMPLICITY HMI / SCADA software and can be scaled to 500, 1,500 or 3,000 tags. With this software, the SCADA Edge IPC is able to provide real-time visibility into mass amounts of valuable
