Hydrogen-Fuel Cell

On the previous article, I have explain how to configure Ifix 5.0 SCADA/HMI to perform the modbus communication with VersaMax40. So then on these chapter, I just explain how to configure Modbus Driver v7.42 Ifix 5.0 SCADA/HMI to collect several data from modbus register on OMNI 6000. OMNI 6000 is the latest Gas Flow Computer product from OMNIFLOW Inc. OMNI 6000 capable to perform the correction of metering measurement of crude oils, refined products, NGLs, LPGs, ethylene, propylene, natural gas, and specialty gases, such as Oxygen, Nytrogen, Hydrogen, Water, and Carbon Dioxide. OMNI 6000 could be used for Orifice Plate or Turbin Meter metering system. Continue Reading »

The fundamental concept of PID (Proportional, Integrative, Derivative) function that embedded on most controller is how the controller could adjust the Measurement Value (MV) for actuator  (control valve, inverter/motor speed drive, boiler, etc) so that difference between actual Process Value (PV) and Set Point (SP) could small enough close to zero.  When the difference between PV and SP very high, the PID will adjust the actuator with few second so that PV could reach the SP value quickly. But when the difference is small, the PID will give smooth respons so that the changing PV on around SP value slowly.

On these articles, you will find two water pumps that working together and alternately so that the actual pressure could reach the Set Point pressure on all of process running. There are two methods  how to control the rotational speed of water pump, which are manual and auto. Manual method will give direct control of rotational speed of water pump by inserting a rpm value. Auto method is PID controller that will give MV to speed control drive when there is difference between PV and SP. Continue Reading »

I would like share with you how to perform the modbus TCP/IP communication between Micro PLC VersaMax and HMI Ifix 5.0 from GE Fanuc Automation.  VersaMax are nano or micro PLC from GE Fanuc Automation. There are several type of VersaMax :

1. VersaMax Nano 10 (6 in/4 out built-in discrete I/O)
2. VersaMax Micro 14 (8 in/6 out built-in discrete I/O)
3. VersaMax Micro 23 (13 in/10 out built-in discrete I/O and 2 in/1 out built-in analog I/O)
4. VersaMax Micro 28 (16 in/12 out built-in discrete I/O)
5. VersaMax Micro 20 (12 in/8 out built-in discrete I/O)
6. VersaMax Micro 40 (24 in/16 out built-in discrete I/O)
7. VersaMax Micro 64 (40 in/24 out built-in discrete I/O) Continue Reading »

Did you have dream to powering up your own vehicles by hydrogen power? These clean power will give you the best fuel for your own vehicles and environment. By using hydrogen to perform your daily activities, you have contribute to make this world become confortable for your next generation. On these article I will provide model list, price, and short explanation for several brands hydrogen generator that very suitable for your applications.

PH Series

These series employ a platinum catalyst in the anode electrode area which recombines any stray oxygen before it can contaminate the hydrogen stream. The involving of platinum catalyst is the best method to get high purity of hydrogen production (>99.9995% consistent purity). The generators require only distilled water (example : sea-water destilation) or de-mineralized water and electricity to operate, making these systems safe and easy to maintain. The Hydrogen Generators feature sophisticated control and dual redundancy safety systems, with LED status indicators and audible alarms with automatic shutdown. Complies with all current OSHA and European regulations. Please contact QUADREX CORPORATION for more detail information. Continue Reading »
