With the ever increasing competitiveness in the business
environment. Plant operators are looking for large scale, easy to maintain data
acquisition and control systems that can be easily integrated into their
management systems. The Keynes Controls NP4000 instrumentation is becoming very
popular due to its ability to operate with most types of management system from
low cost PC SCADA systems to large plant wide applications.
Description
Plant operations usually entail the large scale manufacture
of products. The manufacturing plant and the processes being carried out have
to be flexible enough to change to suit the markets the products are destined
to be used. Research and development engineers use plant to evaluate and test
new processes. Process engineers monitor equipment to maintain production
quotas. Plant is generally operated on large industrial scales. Frequent and
rapid reconfiguration changes are required to maximize productivity. Batch
processes require accurate measurement of process variables such as
temperature, pressure and time to control and synchronize operations.
Information has to be made available to those personnel who have skills to
manage the operations. |

Solution
A NP4000 data acquisition & control system from Keynes
Controls provides an excellent solution to plant monitoring applications. A
graphical user display for operator interaction combined with the Keynes
Controls Plug & Go operation provides a flexible easy to use environment.
Many channels operating at different sample rates can be songlessly integrated
into low cost or proprietary control and management systems. Expand and
contract systems to suit changes in operation. Configuration changes to all
users automatically. Plug in modules for mixing and matching input signals,
User custom- ization, simple wiring termination panels simply the set-up and
integration time. The ability to mix system sample rates makes the
understanding of activities a simple operation. No configuration files are used
so data can be accessed and processed by many different types of management
system simultaneously. No licence fee, multi-user, multi instrument control
operations are used to create seamless reliable production systems. Units are
connected onto standard local area networks using standard off the shelf
components. |
