VersaMax40 is one kind of VersaMax Micro Plus Controllers from GE Intelligent Platforms that have more enhanced features like : more memory (for boolean, integer, floating data), real time clock (RTC),  optional port for industrial protocol communication, high speed counter (HSC) up to 4 at 100kHz, pulse width modulation (PWM) up to 4 at 65kHz, motion commands, PID function and subroutines. VersaMax40 limited to 152  maximum physical I/O with up to 4 I/O expansion units.

VersaMax40 have 1 RS-232 and second port option for RS-232/RS-485/USB/Ethernet. Usually, 1 RS-232 port defined as  SNP port mode for PLC programming with Proficy Machine Edition. On This application we will use second port option to add ethernet communication module – IC200UEM001. With this communication module we could self-defined VersaMax40 as Server device that communicate with HMI Ifix5.0 as Client device via Modbus TCP protocol. With ethernet communication module, VersaMax40 could handle up to 8 Clients device simultaneous on Modbus TCP network. Please following GFK-2436B for detail instruction. 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 »

Base on my short experiences when execute several automation project, I would like share how to make the instrumentation wiring diagram. The main concept that needed to be understand when make instrumentation wiring diagram is we should ensure there is no noise that disturb the signal from field transmitter and to field actuator. Control loop’s actual performance of automation system will affected when signal transmission from/to actual field instruments are disturbed by noises. Several sources of noise that needed to be considering are:

1. High AC Voltage Cable → when instrument cables adjacent to strong AC fields which are present near large motors, generators, electric furnaces, and transformers, then instrument cables will act as an antenna that picking up the magnetically noise that generated by that devices.
2. Radio Frequency (RF) radiation → these noise generate by walkie-talkie signal interference near to instrument cables.
3. Electrostatic or capacitive coupling with other circuits system.
4. Direct coupling with other circuits system, like leakage current paths, ground current loops, or a common return lead for more than one circuit system. Continue Reading »

ADAM-5510KW/TCP is PAC (Programmable Automation Controller) base on IEC-61131-3 standard package. IEC-61131-3 is the third part of open international standard IEC 61131 for graphical and textual PAC programming languages. Base on IEC-61131-3, PAC should support these programming languages :

• Ladder Diagram (LD)
• Function Block Diagram (FBD)
• Structured Text (ST)
• Instruction List (IL)
• Sequential Function Chart (SFC)
