Maturing Drum Temperature Monitoring

Maturing Drum Temperature Monitoring

Application

Maturing drum temperature monitoring

  • Replacement of gauge temperature sensor
  • 150 seconds per revolution
  • Each batch process takes about four hours

Challenges

  • Temperature is monitored to maintain consistency of the viscous fiber entering the drum.
  • Existing system requires manual temperature readings.
  • Wired temperature measurement is not available because the tank is rotating.

Solutions

Wireless temperature measurement

  • Gateway x1, transmitter (YTA) x1 at measuring point on the maturing drum
  • Repeater x2 at fixed locations pointing in different directions (for redundancy)
  • High quality wireless communication was confirmed.The PER (packet error rate) was 0%.
  • The installation locations of the repeaters must be carefully chosen because the radio signal path changes dynamically as the transmitter rotates.

Benefits

  • On-line temperature measurement.
  • Stable measurement of rotating tank.
  • Robust communication with lower packet error rates.

  • YTA510 Transmetteurs de Température Sans Fil

    Le transmetteur de température haute performance YTA510 accepte les entrées thermocouple, RTD, ohms ou DC volts. Les émetteurs transmettent non seulement les variables de processus, mais également les paramètres de réglage à l'aide d'un signal sans fil. Les transmetteurs fonctionnent avec des piles et le coût d’installation peut être réduit car le câblage est inutile. La communication est basée sur les spécifications du protocole ISA100.11a.
