Product catalog summary
Introduction to Corrosion and Cathodic Corrosion Protection (CCP)
Corrosion, commonly known as rust, is the degradation of metal due to environmental reactions, leading to material destruction. Passive protection like coatings is often insufficient. Cathodic Corrosion Protection (CCP) is an electrochemical method using direct current from galvanic anodes to prevent corrosion by causing cathodic polarization, thus inhibiting metal ion release.

CCP System Components and Functionality
The CCP system requires a controllable rectifier to adjust the protective current based on pipe material and surface finish. A reference electrode measures the potential, and data is sent to a management system for analysis. This system helps monitor pipe conditions and plan repairs, significantly reducing maintenance costs compared to potential damage costs.

IDS GmbH CCP Solutions
IDS GmbH offers a comprehensive CCP solution including the ACOS CPS protection system, ACOS 720 telecontrol device, and WinKKS management tool. These systems ensure compliance with standards and extend the service life of pipelines.

ACOS CPS Cathodic Protection Station
The ACOS CPS station features a two-way rectifier with adjustable power and monitoring devices. It includes protective measures against overvoltage and power failures, with automatic regulation to reduce energy consumption. The station can be operated locally or remotely, with versions available to suit different current requirements.

ACOS 720 Telecontrol and Automation Device
The ACOS 720 handles data acquisition and remote control, featuring digital and analog inputs/outputs, and supports various communication protocols. It can be configured locally or remotely and integrates with other systems for enhanced automation and data management.

WinKKS Management System
WinKKS manages and analyzes data from CCP systems, providing a platform for process optimization and documentation. It supports integration with GIS and SAP systems, offering scalability and cost advantages. Key tasks include data archiving, system planning, and measurement evaluation.

Conclusion
IDS GmbH's CCP solutions provide a robust framework for protecting pipelines from corrosion, ensuring safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness through advanced technology and comprehensive data management.

CCP – Cathodic Corrosion Protection The building of pipes requires huge investment. When a pipe is damaged by corrosion, enormous expense can be required for dealing with damage to property and the environment, as well as production downtime. In the worst cases, persons may even suffer injury. Cathodic corrosion protection is the most effective method of preventing this, and of protecting people and the environment. Protection station Cathode connection (-) + The ensuing cost of pipe maintenance amounts to a mere fraction of the costs that would have been incurred by a leaky pipe. And this can...

ACOS 720 – Automation and Telecontrol Device The ACOS 720 telecontrol and automation unit is responsible for data acquisition, remote transmission and control of the cathodic corrosion protection. The ACOS 720 is fitted onto a 35mm DIN rail. With four digital inputs, four digital outputs, two analog inputs and one analog output, the scope of its data is such that typical small-scale systems can be monitored, controlled and automated. It can be expanded by the connection of up to eight compact I/O modules via a 100 Mbit EtherCAT bus. Automation Automation tasks are achieved by means of an integrated...

WinKKS – Management System for Cathodic Protection Overview of monitoring measurement series Monitoring measurement series Remote monitoring measurements In addition to the data from the cathodic protection station, which are transferred by the ACOS 720, huge volumes of data are produced from different software systems and other measurements during the execution of necessary activities in the CCP, which must also be archived for many years as proof of CCP. WinKKS, the innovative information system for documenting and analysing inventory and movement data, enables master data on pipeline systems,...

WinKKS – Management System for Cathodic Protection Topology Editor Scalability of WinKKS The Topology Editor is used specifically for acquiring, updating, navigating and graphically viewing data, and its streamlined design makes it particularly suitable for mobile use. It offers two different views, topological and schematic. Therefore, as well as a positionally accurate display of objects with scale or vector data in the background, schematic diagrams can be employed for the purpose of orientation. For WinKKS, both client/server products and a lowcost standalone version are available Mobile...
