At present, CIRCOR Tech has built and lab tested several different categories of sample system devices based on the Siemens I2C Maxum™ GC Digital Bus
Pressure Sensor Solenoid Pilot Valve Fluid temperature probe Pressure, flow combination sensors
2nd iteration with IS design circuits are in process for All the above components, plus Multi-variable sensor (Pressure, temp, flow) Low-powered combi-valve for closed loop, IS (Zone 1, Div 1), flow
and pressure control Filter monitoring modules

In addition, preparations are being made to test power supply schemes for low powered CAN Bus as per the CiA (CAN in Automation) Intrinsically Safe CAN Bus Working Group
Working network of sensors, valves, and control devices will be online in late Feb according to proposed IS power supply and communication scheme
CIRCOR Tech Core sensing and control modules will have different bus flavors available according to end user or analyzer OEM preference (I2C, CAN Bus, Modbus, RS-485)
Will be working with CAN and other PLC and/or hybrid controller companies to bring control solutions for retrofit activity outside of smart GC’s

CIRCOR Tech has also co-developed a set of Microsoft “smart” Visio™ tools that will allow a future migration of standard modular or ISA P&ID symbols and system design graphics to have some portability into a live XML-based HMI or GUI for sample system control and visualization

"The Chasm"Technology Adoption Process
We are still here!!!
Is this a success?
Significant achievements so far, but far from success

Mainstream customers will not adopt a “discontinuous” technology without: Having the “whole product concept” fulfilled
Having the entire core product (s) augmented by EVERYTHING that is needed for the customer to have a compelling reason to buy
Distributors or sales people skilled in the new technology Good warranty, strong company, and strong support 2nd Sources and a Competitive Marketplace
This includes the product (s) along with training, support, manuals, cables, connectors, accessories, additional hardware and software, etc.
Example: One cannot implement an IS CAN Bus solution without a certified IS Power Supply, an IS CAN Bus Isolator Repeater, Special Cabling, Wiring Documentation, and Config. Software

What is still needed to fulfill the Whole Product Concept for Digital Bus? More power supply components Repeaters, Isolators, and Barriers Connectors and Cabling Configuration Management Software A Standalone SAM (Sensor Actuator Manager) for non-GC
analyzer applications with HMI
What is needed for overall NeSSi system success? End users must “change behavior” in order to adopt a
discontinuous technology innovation At a certain point, innovation must cease to allow customer to
digest what is currently being offered. Otherwise, they are waiting on the next revision

Examples of what to expect Digital bus system maintenance will require software and hardware
interaction between analyzer and sample system Could get stuck in information overload mode if streaming data is
provided rather than mission critical decision making information Sample system purge systems go away, potentially exposing the
digital devices to concentrated chemical vapors continuously Compromises may have to be made to make digital bus sensors cost
effective in these extreme environments IP65 ratings a necessity, corrosive resistance a must, 85 deg C operation Hot Swap, Plug and play, C1D1, Zone 1 (possibly Zone 0) certifications
become necessary Digital devices must be field addressable rather than “software
addressable” which means that windows, access ports, must be available Some sort of visual indication of system health would be desirable rather
than going back and forth between SHS and analyzer CAN IT ALL BE ACHIEVED COST EFFECTIVELY???

Examples of what to expect, cont. Energy budgets will become important due to the relatively high cost
per milliwatt of special IS power supplies Terms like “average cost per node”, and “average power per node”,
will used to as a technical selling advantages for smart digitally controlled sample systems
Multi-function, multi-variable devices will be leveraged to gather multiple pieces of information with a single bus node, minimizing connection cost
Digital bus node functionality and failure modes (FMEA) will have to be taken into account when performing system design and safety reviews of smart sample systems
Will integrators adopt this responsibility quickly?

CIRCOR Tech has developed, and is continuing to develop, solutions for this emerging technology
Things are starting to get exciting, but require complete follow through by multiple parties to bring whole product concept to market
Will need a complete change in mentality of how systems are designed, built, integrated, and maintained
