 ABB’s smart sensing product can reduce downtimes of low-voltage motors by upto 70%
1. Cost efficient
The sensor technology offers plant operators huge potential savings on maintenance and repair. It also makes it easy to utilise the Internet of Things, Services and People (IoTSP) for millions of motors. Small and mid-sized firms can also benefit from the advantages of the IoTSP.
2. Analyses data
The smart sensor provides information on parameters such as vibration, temperature or overload and calculates power consumption. The data are analysed by a special software and provided to the plant operator, thereby enabling downtime reductions of up to 70%.
3. Cyber security
Cyber security is guaranteed at all times. The sensor is not electrically connected to the motor, so unauthorised parties cannot access the motor via this route. The sensors offer wireless transmittion of data via encryption protocols to a secure server.
New controller from Rockwell Automation
GuardLogix 5370 controller provides integrated safety and motion
With the new Allen-Bradley Compact GuardLogix 5370 controller from Rockwell Automation, users no longer need separate networks and controllers for safety and motion in applications with up to 16 axes. This makes it easier to design safety into a wide range of standard and custom machines, and results in simpler system architectures. The Compact GuardLogix 5370 controller also helps users meet global safety standards.
Seatronics SDM system
Intertek offers cost savings through sample cylinder service
Seatronics and Norwegian associates RTS have achieved 100 successful global installations with the Subsea Deflection Monitoring system (SDM). The SDM is a time-saving monitoring system used for the deployment and installation of subsea structures. Time-stamped data from pressure and attitude sensors are transmitted through an ROV hot stab connection or an acoustic modem. When installing the structure, the operator has full online feedback of its heading and deflection.

Honeywell’s enhanced RTU2020 process controller simplifies management of distributed oil and gas assets
• Process control: The RTU2020, enhanced with native redundancy, expanded input/output (I/O) modules, and wireless I/O, is a modular process controller that provides complete visibility into the most efficient utilisation of distributed assets through expanded remote monitoring, diagnostic and asset management. The unit is designed to withstand harsh environments and can be deployed at remote sites with very low power consumption (1.8 watts), which is ideal for use with solar power. It also allows for remote maintenance and cuts equipment monitoring and diagnostic time from hours to minutes.
• I/O communications: The RTU2020 now increases availability through native controller redundancy – no switch is required for I/O communications. A new integrated onboard solution provides wireless I/O integration of ISA100 instruments, with no specialised module needed. ISA100 instruments appear as ‘native’ I/O to the controller. The RTU2020 controller’s 28 channels of onboard I/O can now be extended by adding one or more of the new 28 channel mixed I/O modules. Like the onboard I/O, the new mixed I/O module is HART-enabled. This approach contrasts with process controllers requiring separate dedicated HART modules or external multiplexers.
• Design: RTU2020’s innovative design meets multi-well operational requirements in the oil and gas field, including electronic flow metering for gas per API 21.1 with per meter run licensing. Additionally, RTU2020’s flow calculations have been independently validated against Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) Directive 17. ISO equations have been added to the flow calculation library alongside the existing AGA and API based calculations.
• Features: Honeywell’s RTU2020 offers numerous best-in-class features, including removable and plug-in terminal blocks to simplify wiring and reduce time for cabinet assembly. Integrated with Honeywell’s Experion supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, it eases configuration over thousands of assets and enables operational efficiency with an advanced human-machine interface (HMI). Users gain perfect ‘20/20 vision’ into realising the production potential of their distributed assets. Honeywell’s distributed system architecture (DSA) allows multiple Experion SCADA servers to operate as one within a single asset or across the enterprise.
