Description

CIP-Check Analog

 

Cip-Check analog is a stand-alone analog unit for detection of the impact force and the frequency of the rotation for the monitored cleaning heads. A single unit can monitor up to 6 channels (heads) concurrently. Major benefits include:

  • No penetrations into the tank required for sensor mounting.
  • Monitors and validates multiple spray heads in a single CIP tank.
  • Audio output for charting via PC.
  • Compact DIN-rail mount package.
  • Removable terminal blocks will accept up to 14awg conductors.
  • Detects loss of rotation.
  • Detects loss of spray

CIP-Monitor

A portable system designed for technology evaluation and field use. The system is composed of a:
  • Cip-Monitor PC based software.
  • Desktop or a notebook computer.
  • Cip-Check analog unit and sensors.

Cip-Monitor can monitor/record up to two channels at the same time and provide both rotation and impact force information for each channel. The signal can also be recorded to disk and stored for subsequent analysis and comparison. Cip-Monitor adds the following additional features to those of Cip-Check analog:

  • Clogged nozzle detection
  • Cycle to cycle comparison
  • Histogram analysis
  • High quality digital filtering for improved signal-to-noise ratio
  • Friendly user interface for signal browsing with zoom in/out and paning on the charts
  • Export and printing of charts

CIP-Control

Plant-wide stand alone permanent monitoring system. The system is composed of:
  • Cip-Control PC based software
  • Single central PC server with Ethernet network interface
  • Distributed I/O data acquisition network

The modularity of the distributed I/O is from 4 to 16 channels and requires a 10MBit Ethernet network. The maximum number of channels (monitored cleaning heads) per one server is over 200. The distributed I/O is weather proof. The Cip-Control software allows long term tracking of the performance of each single cleaning head and can be configured for several different alarm types. Major software features include:

  • Stand alone operator free monitoring system.
  • Number of channels limited only by selected hardware.
  • Handles up to 10 cleaning cycles per a cleaning job.
  • Automatically stores cleaning jobs for future reference.
  • Tracks the following cleaning head parameters: pressure per nozzle, average spray intensity and rotation frequency of the head.
  • Reliably detects the rotation of the head.
  • Detects clogged nozzles.
  • Quick fault detection triggers an alarm in 20 seconds.
  • Spray presence detection can be manual, software based or hardware based.
  • Maintains a list of active (unconfirmed) and confirmed alarms.
  • Optional alarm notification with email via its own email client.
  • Embedded SQL server allows remote intranet or internet access, browsing through the database of recorded cleaning jobs and remote system reconfiguration.
  • Can stream the incoming signal to a local file for every channel.
  • Each channel can optionally stream the raw signal from a file.
  • Charts for each cycle: Average spray pressure against time, Rotation frequency against time, pressure per nozzle comparison, raw signal and processed signal. Histograms for spray energy and rotation frequency.
  • User rights management system with log-on/log-off.
  • Live signal view of the incoming signal.
  • Live system reconfiguration locally or remotely.
  • The signals can be streamed from multiple soundcards, multiple files or dedicated hardware.
  • User configurable alarm limits.
  • An alarm can be configured to be raised when: histogram difference of spray intensity between the learned and compared cycle exceeds threshold, frequency of rotation changes, Min/Max ratio of spray energy per nozzle exceeds threshold.
