Data Acquisition And Control Systems Dacs.

The T287 is a programmable two-wire transmitter that is configured to provide an isolated 4-20mA signal in proportion to the input signal. The T287 accepts thermocouple, 2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire RTD, potentiometer, resistance and millivolt inputs. The T287 supports either single or dual inputs. In the dual input mode, either input can be selected to control the output, or math functions can be applied in which both inputs have an effect on the output. The functions available are Sum, Difference, Average, Higher of the two or Lower of the two inputs. Typical applications include providing accurate, stable signals to distributed control systems (DCS), supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA), environmental monitoring and control systems (EMCS), data acquisition and control systems (DACS) and custody transfer/pipeline systems.

Their philosophy is that no two measurement sources are alike, thus requiring application-specific engineering for each Continuous Process Monitoring or Continuous Emissions Monitoring (CEM) system. Systems can be designed for process control (integrated with the process) or regulatory compliance, or both. Company expertise includes consulting, engineering, service and repairs, as well as on-site performance specification (certification) testing. Complete product support is offered either on-site or in-house. The company is registered under ISO 9001.

CEM Specialties Inc. represents SICK AG, SICK UPA, Sick Maihak for In-Situ & Extractive Analyzer technologies, MRU for portable monitors, Bernath Atomic for FID based instrumentation, M&C Products for sampling system components as well as Nexus solutions for cost-effective customized data acquisition and control systems (DACS). Quality assurance and quality control plans and performance certification guarantees from CEM Specialties Inc. can be provided with turn-key system packages.

APTECH's automated plant damage and cost monitor, is a real time software package that can be installed at each power plant to calculate and control plant-wide damage and costs. This can be applied to fossil, hydro, and gas turbine combined cycle power plants. The plant-wide damage and calibrated costs are then sent to plant management and on to the dispatch center as they occur in real time. This uses the plant data acquisition system, plant historical data, and a small PC-based (Windows XP) system. The code is available for installation at plants at which APTECH has previously performed a cost of cycling analysis, or can be estimated based on plant test data and a benchmark to similar units.

Cenco's Data Acquisition and Control Systems (DACS) handle all test cell and engine functions using the latest electronics and custom software. Industry-standard VXI and PLC-based instrumentation and custom PC-boards create efficient and effective systems. Cenco's vibration and tachometer measurement systems are designed specifically for aero engine testing.

Continuous Emissions Monitoring (CEM) systems are required for many industrial applications to monitor air emissions discharged into the atmosphere. There are many different components that must be measured by companies to comply with their operating permit or Certificate of Approval.

Exceedances in operating permit conditions or instrument downtime can be extremely costly for a company. Therefore, it is important that a highly accurate, reliable instrument system be used to measure the different gaseous emissions.
