Fast analysis of pollution May 1st 2005 Measurement Systems of Austria has automated the complex, time consuming task of measuring industrial emissions for dioxins using simple control components from Mitsubishi Electric
The modular measuring system can be customised to individual applications. There are three main elements: filter, sampler unit and controller. The system runs a sampling cycle automatically under the full control of the Mitsubishi controller. When the cycle is complete, the operator replaces the filter cartridge and sends the sample to a laboratory for analysis
At the heart of the control module is a Mitsubishi Electric FX2N PLC with a four channel FX2N-4AD-PT temperature data input module and associated thermal sensors and an FX2N-2ND output module with two analogue outputs. The output feeds through to a Mitsubishi E700 HMI. Sixteen dedicated function keys and a high resolution display panel give instant access to data. More articles from Mitsubishi Electric Europe: |
