Modern Equipment for Pressurized Hot-Water and Steam Plants Conclusion – continued Over above the advantages of process data visualization, this system is ideal for the development of intelligent boiler management systems (BMS), since it permits the high-level logical combination of individual parameters of bus-transported information from diverse systems. In this way, the optimization of plant-specific operations is no longer left to chance. Process control level Ethernet GSM network, land lines via modem If the safety-related deactivation is performed by means of approved systems, the control functions can be implemented by the BMS. With the SPECTORcontrol system, GESTRA AG offers solutions that put you at the cutting edge of automation technology. SPECTORcontrol performs tasks of control and regulation, i.e. the system permits a further reduction in the number of separate electronic control units as well as economical process display via Intranet or Internet on office PCs or laptops. With this technology, we are not only limited to the visualization, but can also optimize the control parameters using the same interfaces. With that, the concept of telediagnostics is no longer a vision of the future; it is already part of effective plant operation today. This is of particular benefit for the service area, since rapid assistance or a targeted deployment of technical staff can be effected in the event of malfunctions without any need for an immediate call-out of engineers to the plant. Modern Equipment for Pressurized Hot-Water and Steam Plants This technology is further augmented by the possibility of integrating diverse burner controls – such as those by Siemens, HIMA, LAMTEC or Hamworthy – via the Modbus RTU interface. • From mechanical to bus-capable level controllers/limiters Why settle for less? Besides TÜV and other national approvals, GESTRA limiter systems for level, conductivity and temperature have of course also been subjected to EC type approval and are given CE marking, as units with safety functions according to the PED.
