New telemetry opportunities with OpenNET
OpenNET modules allow a small cell of wireless sensors, suitable perhaps for a sewage treatment works, with intelligent logic at the hub creating alarm messages, sent over any standard comms link
"Pacscom has designed a monitor which lets water treatment plant operators know if the filter arms in the circular treatment beds are rotating properly", says Sales and Marketing Manager Mike Knights.
"This means that operators at Yorkshire Water do not have to visit remote sites as regularly as before, because they know exactly how the filters are performing at any time, day or night." The Pacscom monitor sits on the filter arm and sends out a message via radio every time the filter rotates.
The local telemetry outstation sends an alarm to the Yorkshire Water Regional Operational Control Centre when the filter stops rotating.
"Conventional filter rotation monitors have failed in the past and this new technology is seen as the next generation for rotation monitoring.
Not only will it monitor filter rotation but it has the potential to be used on a range of applications - in fact anything that rotates can be monitored," comments Mike Knights.
