Data acquisition for Rockwell Software's RSBizWare
The Historian module extends the reporting, analysis and management capabilities of the RSBizWare foundation by providing a powerful set of tools to analyse a wide variety of time-series data.
Enpac is a family of Windows CE-based, high-performance, two-channel data collectors and signal analysers.
The units are designed to help ensure safe and efficient condition monitoring of equipment found in many process industries with large rotating equipment, including marine, power generation, water/wastewater, and petrochemical.
"The need for intrinsically safe components has become increasingly important in the refining and petrochemical processing industry", explains Ralph DeLisio, Business Manager, Integrated Condition Monitoring, Rockwell Automation.
"The Enpac Ex effectively meets this demand with a data collector that combines high-performance processing capabilities with a design that meets the intrinsic safety requirements for operation in hazardous locations".
The Enpac Ex data collector uses the latest advances in analogue and digital electronics, including digital signal processing (DSP) and a powerful sigma-delta A/D convertor to provide both speed and accuracy in the data collection process.
