in-the-knowWith 3D printing becoming more commonplace, Australian researchers predict we are very close to producing printable ‘paper-thin’ solar panels capable enough to power “entire skyscrapers”.

As part of the Victorian Organic Solar Cell Consortium (made up of CSIRO, Melbourne and Monash universities members), a group of 50 scientists have been working to make this technology a reality.

At a consumer level we should see iPad covers, laptop bags, phone covers and more, collecting energy to charge these devices. With paper-thin technology (also made semi-transparent), it will allow printing directly onto materials such as roofing or windows, opening up endless design opportunities. Find out more by checking out the consortium’s website. The future looks bright.

web-enablingremotereducesprocesses

As the need to remotely control processes increases, so does the need for a convenient management solution. Web-enabling remote processes simplifies management and reduces downtime, lowering maintenance and operation costs.

“equipment with moving parts must be checked

often and all data carefully monitored to prevent

malfunctions and recognise potentially costly problems.”

History

Remotely operated applications such as wastewater treatment, wind energy generation and pumping stations must be regularly monitored and controlled to ensure optimal performance. Wastewater facilities must consistently meet government regulations for efficiency and are regularly monitored to ensure environmentally friendly operation. Wind energy companies must control fields of turbines located many miles away, and pumping stations require constant surveillance that, without remote access, involves costly on-site monitoring.

The alternative solution—entirely automating remote processes—can be just as inconvenient and expensive. Automation requires frequent maintenance visits, either to prevent failures in critical systems or to fix failures once they occur. Both

these scenarios can result in significant downtime and often require external service providers, costing businesses substantial time and money.

Remote process operation has also become a concern for smaller companies or self-employed individuals. In order to

stay competitive with larger corporations, many smaller businesses must rent

expensive processing equipment—which may be installed and operated many kilometres from the renter.

In addition, equipment is consistently becoming more complex to accommodate new production and quality regulations, making the management of such equipment more complicated. The distance between where the equipment is located and where it must be managed, combined with constantly changing technology, makes solving remote process applications increasingly challenging.

Challenge

Preventative maintenance, determined by system and equipment status data gathered during equipment operation, is critical to ensuring that remote processes maintain optimal performance. When wastewater

managementcosts

is treated, for example, filters must be regularly checked and maintenance is scheduled when filter changes are needed. Car wash applications often require daily liquid level surveillance, and pump and system status feedback is needed in order to avoid controller crashes. These and many more applications involving equipment with moving parts must be checked often and all data carefully monitored to prevent malfunctions and recognise potentially costly problems.

If the equipment cannot be sufficiently monitored and controlled from a remote location, on-site visits multiply, since maintenance workers are needed to perform simple system checks as well. The additional trips quickly add up in cost and often result in production downtime. Also, if an external service provider is hired, the task becomes additionally time consuming which causes significant concern when monitoring is crucial to preventing critical system failures.

Monitoring and controlling processes remotely and in real time helps identify future problems before they occur, increasing the efficiency of preventative maintenance and decreasing the number of on-site visits required, thereby reducing expenses. For this task, a time-efficient, cost-effective monitoring and control solution is necessary.

A problematic solution

Securing a robust, reliable method for remote equipment surveillance has proven problematic for many businesses. When external service companies are employed for such purposes, they will often install a control system comprised of PLCs, drives, and additional controllers—a variety of products often of different brands. Gathering complex machinery data in real time from all these sources at once can be challenging, as data usually can be acquired from only one PLC or critical controller at a time. This system is also inconvenient because the devices are virtually incompatible with one another, making communications among PLCs and other controllers either complex or very limited.

Other methods require computers and specialised operating systems, as well as complicated and often expensive software, to help organise and log collected data. This requires further external sources to provide the knowledge and support needed to program, maintain and troubleshoot the system. Plus, this complex solution is often unstable and system crashes are common.

A solution that works

system monitoring and control and provides a comprehensive, cost-efficient solution. When a web-enabled product is used to gather critical system data from all equipment simultaneously, the information can be simply concentrated then monitored or logged for future availability online. This solution ensures all data concerning machine input/output, status and faults is easily referenced and addressed, and it can be accessed easily from an Internet-enabled PC.Another method of web-enabling remote processes involves on-demand or automatic synchronisation. Using this solution, data can be automatically transferred from multiple remote sites to one central server, where engineers or service managers can monitor information directly. This avoids unnecessary connections to the remote controllers. Instead, remote devices can synchronise with the server, or the server can pull data from remote sites using FTP. This solution also allows operators to easily visualise the status of remote processes, providing central data for SCADA packages.

In addition, web-enabled systems can be configured with alarm capabilities, ensuring notifications of equipment failure or other critical system events are delivered promptly to a set destination: a control panel, a PC or even a cell phone. With this system in place, any faults in a remote process are communicated as they occur, enabling engineers and plant managers to address

manufacturing and production problems immediately.

A comprehensive solution: Red Lion’s Data Station Plus

In order to facilitate communications among equipment produced by many different manufacturers, the Data Station Plus by Red Lion Controls can communicate with multiple devices at once—simplifying the monitoring and control of an intricate remote system. Also, the Data Station Plus comes standard with an embedded protocol converter, enabling all connected serial or Ethernet devices to communicate with one another. This data exchange is set-up using a simple drag-and-drop mapping interface, reducing programming time.All data collected by the Data Station Plus can quickly be logged in an IT-ready, comma separated variable (CSV) format that concentrates all information for easy reference. These comprehensive data logging capabilities provide an easily accessible record of the remote processes’ status history, allowing companies to

perform preventive maintenance in a timely and cost-effective manner. Plus, current system quality can be monitored from a PC or other interface, and the Data Station Plus’ excellent data collection abilities ensure traceability for diagnosis and troubleshooting of system faults.The Data Station Plus allows users to reliably control remote processes via its embedded web server. It features a sophisticated array of remote tools and acts as a virtual HMI, enabling operators to view data and make decisions accordingly in real time. When an alarm sounds or production quality issues arise, operators can launch a backup system, open a value or adjust PID gain from an office web browser. In addition, the Data Station Plus allows operators to alter their process’ parameters to adapt to changing weather or additional environmental concerns.

This product’s advanced remote monitoring and control abilities have proven invaluable in a number of applications. The filters critical to wastewater treatment can be easily checked to determine when they must be changed. Liquid level data, as well as pump and valve status in car washes or

pumping stations can be easily monitored, logged and referenced. Wind energy generation and concrete plant operations can be placed under constant surveillance, ensuring system errors or abnormalities are readily identified and addressed. In addition, since logs collected by the Data Station Plus can be easily downloaded online via FTP services, this monitoring and control can be performed from virtually any location with Internet access.

Web-enabling remote processes allows both small and large companies to save time and money by making the managing of these applications more efficient, reducing downtime and lowering maintenance costs. The Data Station Plus provides a reliable, robust solution for

web-enabling processes, concentrating data from a host of devices made by a variety of manufacturers and located in a remote location. With its embedded protocol facilities and exceptional data logging capabilities, the Data Station Plus ensures all system data can be monitored and managed from virtually any location. This tool enables manufacturers to easily and efficiently identify potential problems, thereby minimizing interventions and reducing costs.

“The Data Station Plus allows users to reliably control

remote processes via its embedded web server.”

programmable

seriesFP7New from Panasonic, the top-of-the-range FP7 series of programmable logic controllers incorporates the functionality and performance of a modular PLC in a very compact size.

logiccontroller

Panasonic’s new FP7 series programmable logic controller has created a lot of hype since its release to the Australian market. One of the smallest available in regards to size, it features a 32 bit processor platform with adjustable memory capacity for program or data including a very fast 11ns per step processor speed. Panasonic claims it is able to replace a traditional modular PLC twice even 3 times its size.

Size & precision

The first thing you will notice about the FP7 is its size measuring just 90mm high and 83mm wide as the base form. Its direct connection of 24VDC to the processor eliminates the need for a dedicated power supply, and additional units can be simply clipped-on to suit the application at hand – no need for backplanes!

It lends itself to a larger machine or plant control where I/O counts are high and there is more process-oriented control taking place. Precise control is also possible with an accuracy rate of 0.05% using the systems new 16bit analogue architecture with a 25us per channel conversion rate.

Ethernet capabilities are achievable through its standard CPU boards allowing remote programming, monitoring and data logging to FTP servers or via Modbus TCP. Data can be additionally loaded onto a SD card

for remote access which saves costs on logger units.

Security

All programs utilising the FP7 are able to be password protected and the ability to assign different security levels is relatively simple. The CPU unit can store two programs to protect itself from a potential fault avoiding the need for a SD memory card to return to a previously saved backup program.

You may decide to use a SD card instead for storing log data for traceability or program operation testing when developing or updating a new program. This can be quite the time saver as it bypassed having to first download to the PLC run memory.

Result?

The FP7 is Panasonic’s flagship model of PLCs and it shows. It is obvious they have thought a lot about how it will be used for current as well as future applications. In addition to obviously being a space saver, you get up to 10,000 steps free using the demo version of FPWIN Pro 7, Panasonic’s IEC61131-3 compliant programming software. Weigh up all its features and the FP7 starts to look like great value for money in comparison.

Product ManagerBrisbane officeMy speciality:

PanasonicRelpolMountain bikes

KlemsanJay Electronique& awesome advice

Call me:07 3623 1212

Paul Davies our Product Manager in Brisbane answers some questions about his role, his specialities and his journey so far.

Each edition we will introduce you to a member of our team. Local interaction and easy-to-deal with service is what we’re about here at Control Logic, so we hope to hear from you soon.

Paul Davies

“Don’t look where you don’t want to go...”

[email protected]

So Paul, in a nutshell, what exactly does a Product Manager at Control Logic do?

As a group we are responsible for product promotion, inventory management, staff training, technical support, principal liaison and most of all, the sales of our product groups. In my case, I look after Panasonic, Jay Electronique, Klemsan and Relpol.

With the number of brands you look after, do you find your role varies a lot?

One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is supporting what we sell, whether that is something simple like a wiring diagram or assisting with the programming of a PLC, nothing gives the same satisfaction of making that product work as part of an overall solution.

Tell me one of the weirdest requests you’ve received?

I once had a request from a customer for some timers for use in a licensed Brothel (you figure it out!)

So never a dull day then? Haha! What made you decide to work at Control Logic?

They are a family owned business that appreciate and look after their staff. After working for a couple of global companies, it is nice to feel as though you are really contributing to something rather than feeling like a number.

Thanks for your time Paul!

Energy suppliers are changing how network tariffs are calculated. Large business customers with annual consumption greater than 100MWh but less than 4GWh will be impacted by the changes.

What are the changes? The demand charge component of the network tariff – a charge that reflects a customer’s usage and impact on the network will now be charged in kilovolt ampere (kVA). A customer’s impact on the network is measured by their overall demand and the efficiency with which they use their electricity (a measurement called power factor). Overall, this change means that customers with a good power factor will pay less than those with a poor power factor.

More froth than actual beer? Not ideal. The same can be said about power.

Froth is wasted energy.

SECTION EXTRAK-Mac NMI approved DIN mount meter

i www.control-logic.com.au/contact-us/contact-formSo what is Power Factor? There are two types of power; ‘Real’ and ‘Reactive’. When combined this creates ‘Apparent’ power. Power Factor is the relationship between real and apparent power (kVA). Any site with poor power factor will often experience higher than average energy bills due to wasted (reactive) power.

How can we help? Control Logic and ABB are Power Factor correction specialists that can assist your business with supplying, installing, designing and servicing Power Factor correction equipment. Ask us how.

CETA has added yet another quality product to compliment their existing range. The K-Mac KMP1-50 DIN mount meter with NMI approval can be used for all forms of sub metering to 50A.

Featuring a single phase, 2 wire KWh meter with pulse outputs and class 1 accuracy.

Jeep have recently unveiled their highly an-ticipated update to the Cherokee, for what could be described as confronting love it or hate it quirky looks. Priced from $33,500 plus on-road costs, this mid-sized SUV of-fers a new 9-speed auto transmission, and the idea of capable off-road motoring.

Unfortunately the 9-speed was slow to shift down/up at the best of times. Fuel con-sumption was a disappointing 12L/100klms on test, which is some way from their claimed 8.3L/100klm. The Cherokee rides firmly, but is more than capable in corners and does surprise with decent performance from its 2.4 litre petrol engine.

Inside you will find plenty of head/knee and leg room in the rear, as well as comfortable driving seats. There is little in regards to standard kit with no auto headlights, no guidelines in its reversing camera, no steering wheel control for the audio system and no temperature display for your climate control. The infotainment screen is tiny but does feature Bluetooth, and USB music connections.

While the Cherokee struggles with its rivals in the value for money stakes, it does provide distinctive looks and driveability. Too bad it’s let down by its auto transmission - definitely room for improvement.

Apple Watch will be available in three collections. Apple Watch, with a polished or space black stainless steel case and a choice of straps; Apple Watch Sport, with a space grey or silver anodised aluminum case and Sport Band; and Apple Watch Edition, with an 18-karat rose or yellow gold case and a choice of straps exclusive to this collection.

Reservations are still out how useful the Apple watch will be considering battery life with similar products have been less than desirable. You will also need to own an iPhone 5 or up to benefit from its features. Apple do seem to lack innovation lately, but no doubt it will still sell like hotcakes. Expect it in stores early 2015.

“With Apple Watch, we’ve developed multiple technologies and an entirely new user interface specifically for a device that’s designed to be worn. It blurs the boundary between physical object and user interface,” said Jony Ive, Apple’s senior vice president of Design. “We’ve created an entire range of products that enable unparalleled personalisation.” apple “watch” | due early 2015

This might look like a simple block of wood, but the w2 q1 wireless charger can charge your phone, play music, tell you the time, display the temperature, and even let you answer a call via a built-in microphone. In essence, this is a wireless docking station, but it has been streamlined so there aren’t any buttons sticking out or cables you would need to worry about.

w2 q1 wireless chargerA pulse-pounding thriller set in the nocturnal

underbelly of contemporary Los Angeles. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Lou Bloom, a driven young man desperate for work who discovers the high-speed world of L.A. crime journalism. Finding a group of freelance camera crews who film crashes, fires, murder and other mayhem, Lou muscles into the cut-throat, dangerous realm of nightcrawling - where police siren wails equals a possible windfall and victims are converted into dollars and cents.

“Restless, visually sleek, and powered by a lithe star performance from Jake Gyllenhaal, Nightcrawler offers dark, thought-provoking thrills.”
