Moving Beyond Local Pressure Gauge Readings
Walk around most any industrial process manufacturing or production process and you'll likely see pressure gauges providing feedback to operators who walk by. According to the Pressure Gauge entry in Encyclopedia.com, this technology: …was invented by French...
Instrumentation Diagnostics and Safe, Reliable Operations
As technology has advanced in power and sophistication, its ability to self-diagnose and perform predictive diagnostics has too. In a Plant Engineering article, Using diagnostic functions to improve system safety, Emerson's Mark Menezes shares examples of how these...
Understanding Servers, Converters and Gateways
As instrumentation and control system, also known as Operational Technology (OT) incorporate wireless and other classic Informational Technology (IT) components, the worlds of OT and IT continue to merge. For control and automation specialists, it means things like...
Improving Refinery Corrosion Monitoring
With the diversification of crude oil types brought about by U.S. shale production, refineries have increased risk for vessel and piping corrosion. Many of the aging refineries also are operating past the design life of some of their plant assets. In a Chemical...
Non-Intrusive Corrosion and Erosion Monitoring
The integrity of process piping is paramount to safe operations. Corrosion and erosion monitoring, especially for processes with challenging fluids, play an important role. This short 2:10 YouTube video, Permasense ET210 Integrity Monitoring System, shows how piping...
Non-Intrusive Wireless Corrosion and Erosion Monitoring
A Joint Research Centre (JRC) Scientific and Policy Report, Corrosion‐Related Accidents in Petroleum Refineries, found [emphasis and hyperlink mine]: Notably, of the 137 major refinery accidents reported by EU countries to the EU's eMARS [Major Accident Reporting...
Reducing Equipment Downtime and Improving Energy Efficiency via Wireless Power Monitoring
Equipment failure is a large part of unplanned downtime, slowdowns and/or loss in quality of the product being produced. Monitoring temperatures, vibration, differential pressures across filters are often performed to identify problems before failure occurs. Another...
Temperature Measurement and Wireless Device Instructional How-To Videos
As we wind our way toward the holidays, I wanted to share a great series of "how to" videos on some of Emerson's Rosemount brand of temperature measurement devices. This YouTube video series includes: How to Wire and Configure a Single Sensor for the Rosemount 648...
IIoT Protocols and Comparisons
In LinkedIn's Industrial Internet of Things group was a discussion topic, IIoT Protocols, Overview and Comparison. The discussion thread referenced an rti blog post, 6 Industrial IoT Communication Solutions – Which One's for You? [Comparison]. The post describes the...
Energy Harvesting for Wireless Device Power
At the Emerson Exchange conference in Austin, Emerson's Josh Hernandez and Perpetua's Andy Zaremba presented, Energy Harvesting Application- Anything is Possible. Their abstract: Wireless instrumentation allows companies to add points of measurement quickly and...
Wireless Continuous Pump Monitoring
Many of the pumps in process manufacturing and production processes are essential and their failure results in reduced or lost production and increased maintenance costs. In an Upstream Pumping article, Wireless Monitoring Reduces Pump Failures & Maintenance...
