Sample Applications / Hardware Overview

Sample Application 1

A cereal manufacturer is producing a new breakfast product for their market. They request from IACD a temperature control package for the process. This will require the monitoring of 75 RTD’s with 15 active PID control loops varying steam and cooling water systems for temperature control. These loops are then network connected to a control room Human Machine Interface (HMI) package for process supervisory features to include recipe management and data acquisition.

Sample Application 2

A pharmaceutical company requests from IACD a design for a wash control system to sterilize vials prior to filling on a high speed bottling line. System will be required to monitor temperature, pressure, and speed of the line. Then based upon these readings control the temperature and the pressure to guarantee sterilization based upon rate of the line. The faster the movement of the line the higher the temperature and pressure must be to guarantee sterility of the vials. System must be designed with both automatic and manual modes of operation as well as monitoring alarm signals from the other process stages.

Sample Application 3

A metal foundry requests from IACD a control system for their tempering furnaces. System must control conveyor rates, and 12 temperature control zones in the process to assure gradual increase and decrease of product temperature during production. System will require the development of an Operator Interface as well as an audible safety alarm system on the furnace gas supplies.

(Note: The previous three examples are all based upon actual projects that have already been implemented by the talented personnel here at IACD.)
