The SMART 4.0® system is an integrated system designed for the control and supervision of industrial suction and filtering systems.
It allows you to constantly monitor the performance of the system and to automatically clean the filter bags by piloting in sequence pneumatic valves that shoot compressed air inside the bags themselves.
The touch screen monitor is present on the door of the electrical panel, allowing operators to view the operating status of the system. It also shows the alarm messages and those relating to maintenance, sending via e-mail, to the recipients concerned, all the anomalies detected.
It consists of an electronic device that can be installed in the electrical panel of the filtering system or in a separate box applied directly to the filter. It collects data from the various sensors and uses their values to make the necessary adjustments.
The connection to the company network allows to have the screens of the touch screen directly on a PC monitor or on a tablet via web browser. Finally, by equipping the touch screen with a GSM module, this, combined with a data SIM, will connect via the mobile network to a cloud service center.
There is also the possibility of adopting a SMARTBOARD Ecotech GTS card, designed to be inserted inside the electrical control panel of the filtration system or in a dedicated box applied on the filter edge.
Its function is to detect the signals from the various sensors that can be applied to the system and which inform about its correct operation, as well as to control the pneumatic cleaning valves by means of air
tablet.
See what we can monitor
Cockpit
The main screen shown here allows you to have the main operating parameters of the filter under control, such as the pressure in the suction duct or the Δp of the filter. The latter is very important for the proper functioning of the system. Furthermore, it is possible to monitor in real time the emissions into the atmosphere, the temperature of the filter, the number of cleaning cycles performed, the consumption of compressed air, etc.
System configuration
What can we act on
Cleaning parameters
It allows you to customize the number of cleaning valves and the opening times during firing as well as the minimum and maximum optimal working pressures.
Dedusting interval
The correct setting of the pressure Δp at which to start the cleaning cycle and the one at which the cycle must end is essential.
Inverter parameters
It allows you to set the minimum and maximum limits to which the action of
suction motor adjustment
suction motor adjustment
Pressure stabilizer
The pressure stabilizer setting allows you to correctly adjust the suction fan so that it maintains a constant suction flow.
Flow meter
It allows to evaluate the consumption of compressed air used for cleaning the filter elements to optimize costs in relation to yield.
Tribo Probe Parameterization
The Triboelectric probe detects the quantity of dust particles present in the ejection duct into the atmosphere and is an index of the efficiency of the filtration process.
Valve Shooting Sequence
It is possible to customize the firing sequence of the various valves in order to optimize and improve the cleaning system.
Rotary valve parameterization
It allows to discharge the dusty residues collected in the filtering section during the cleaning of the system in the special container for the collection of filtration materials.
Scheduled maintenance
They represent a fundamental operation to keep the filtering system in efficiency. It is therefore important in order to subsequently be able to have notices informing about the expiration of the various maintenance.
Alert by email
The company's IT network manager must provide the data requested in order to set up the messaging function via E-Mail that the system is able to manage.
Spare parts
They will make it possible to receive requests for spare parts via E-Mail, thus facilitating the management of codes to improve the management of the distribution chain.
Data export
It is possible to export databases containing, for example, the alarm history or the screens of the monitoring system in a .csv format file.
Air efficiency
A total control system of the efficiency of the cleaning system that displays a series of data in favor of the management of the compressed air consumption of the system.
Energy Efficiency
IOT4-EcoSmart® is a tool designed and studied ad-hoc for the figure of the Energy Manager that oversees the effectiveness and energy efficiency of systems.
Drawing up of graphs
It is possible to view the emissions graph, analyze it on the screen or generate individual graphs of the monitored plant variables.
Data logger
One of the purposes of Industry 4.0 is also to provide a history of the progress of the various quantities relating to the plant or machine in question.
The IOT4-EcoSmart® system, consisting of the SMARTBOARD® + HMI Touch board, allows you to graph the values detected by probes or meters and display them on the screen or export the data in .csv format to consult or analyze them on a PC in table format.
