ACCESS INTELLIGENT DATA SECURELY Constantly sourcing the latest advancement in technology to enhance systems, NHP brings to market the Aparian DNP3 router with Secure Authentication v5 which enables the user to connect DNP3 devices to a Logix platform in a highly secure environment. The DNP3 Router provides intelligent data routing between EtherNet/IP and DNP3 (serial, EtherNet UDP, or EtherNet TCP) with built-in secure communications. The module also provides a range of statistics and traffic analyis to help fault find any problems. Supporting Direct-to-Tag technology, the DNP3 router enables the module to exchange data between user tags in Logix and DNP3 devices. Previously complicated data mapping is made easy by precompiled User Defined Tags (UDT) which converts the various DNP3 data formats into sensible data in the Studio 5000 environment. The module supports up to 900,000 DNP3 events, which eliminates the need for additional buffer equipment. Reducing polled data exchange is possible using Report-by-Exception. The DNP3 router has easy implementation of all DNP3 command functions. Ensure transparency is achieved with secure and accurate communicative data with the Aparian DNP3 Router from NHP.

Traditional CM is the process of monitoring parameters within machinery in order to identify a change which is indicative of a developing fault. The programming environment tightly integrates into Rockwell Software (Studio 5000®), so vibration and temperature data can be integrated within the same control platform where operators can easily review both equipment conditions and process data to make educated production decisions. This is a major component of predictive maintenance, and with an Integrated CM system you can now utilise real-time processing of critical parameters to assess the current health and make real-time decisions to determine the future health of your critical rotating machinery. The Allen-Bradley® range of CM equipment (Dynamix™ 1444) offers unprecedented integrated signal processing and measurement capabilities, providing the tools necessary to detect and identify the faults and status across all classes of industrial machinery. This information is available to be sent to plant- wide or enterprise-wide databases for storage and trending. With this information, technicians can take appropriate maintenance action, such 10 Complex CM analysis can be converted into a simple and easy display, providing a reliable indication of equipment health that is easily understood by both operators and maintenance personel, without requirement for dedicated mechanical skillsets.
