NAVIGATE YOUR CONTROL LOOPS Engineers can minimize process variation by using Intune+ Process Navigator to monitor and diagnose control loop performance. Process Navigator provides long-term protection against performance degradation. Intune+ and Intune v. 5 together provide process control monitoring, tuning, online diagnostics and automatic reporting of poor performance. ControlSoft 440/443-3900 www.controlsoftinc.com
UPDATED CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE G9SP programmable safety controllers are compatible with Microsoft Windows 7. G9SP programmable safety controllers deliver clear diagnostics and monitoring via Ethernet or serial connection, and support direct connection with safety light curtains, safety laser scanners, non-contact switches and safety mats. They are ISO 13849-1(PLe) and IEC61508 (SIL3) certified. Omron Scientific Technologies Inc. 800-479-3658 www.sti.com
IMPROVE GAS MONITORING LumaSoft Gas MultiPoint 7950 remote control software for use with LumaSense’s Innova 1316 multi-gas monitor creates a scalable system that is less expensive than traditional multi-point samplers. It can be used in processes such as exhaust gas analysis for fermenters or biogas plants. Plants can use it to easily install gas sample lines, and eliminate contamination risk between sampling points. LumaSense Technologies 800/631-0176 www.LumaSenseInc.com
IMPROVE YOUR PLOTTING Analyse-Plus plots and analyzes data to enable quick conclusions about variability and process control, and assists in process control tuning and diagnosing problems with tuning, valves or instrumentation. It allows plotting individual or overlaid plots with multiple y-axis labels. Data can be imported and exported via DDE Send/Receive or DDE Server or through text files. Givens Control 905/631-8293 www.givenscontrol.com
GET TO THE ROOT CAUSE The Root Cause Finder automates the in-depth analysis that was previously performed by an experienced engineer. Using advanced mathematical techniques, the Root Cause Finder works without requiring any process models or other prior knowledge of the process. Results are displayed graphically and also show other affected process areas. ExperTune 262/369-7711 www.planttriage.com
HMI/SCADA UPGRADE InduSoft Web Studio v7.0 Service Pack 1 upgrade has multiple language development support for Japanese, French, Portuguese and German along with support for Gmail, new symbol libraries, new drivers and much more.
