Real-time Integration

Seamless Integration with PI

Harness the power of the Q4 interface with simple instructions to activate an activity using plant DCS to help the engineer solve an out of tolerance reading or symptom on vital equipment or a preventive maintenance activity. The system is currently interfaced to a number of leading condition-monitoring systems with EOH calculations for optimised maintenance.

A few features below ......... for more details see Datasheet

  • No of operations
  • No of starts
  • Over speed
  • Over load
  • Over heating
  • High vibration
  • Failed to start
  • Sequence fault
  • Inspection Due
  • Calibrate
  • and others …

Easy to Instruct: The event monitor and specified task triggers a work order by using an object call that can be called by most modern DCS, SCADA and PLC software with a simple network message call.

Network: The system can be set up on the plants network system or even across the web. Use it for an effective maintenance telemetry system just by calling a browser that will execute the needed processes.

Fast Repair: Done in real time to give you the maximum time to investigate and repair the alarm or reading with no computer (paper work) to do other than to complete the job. And if you need some technical assistance the created job can be automatically loaded with applicable documents, drawings and diagnostics to help.

Monitored Maintenance: Or for general maintenance an automatic timed scan run will check value triggers to create a program of work on machines due or overdue an inspection or check.

Bottom Line: Setting up the system can be done in a reasonable time frame.
