Write Logic One Last Time: A Closer Look at IEC 61499 and Universal Automation

Presenter: Sheldon Reiss, Business Development, EcoStruxure Automation Expert, Schneider Electric

Synopsis

Years ago, you wrote, tested, and commissioned your logic. It’s been working for years with few modifications, but now you’re upgrading hardware and forced to re-write it. This is only one example where IEC 61499 and Universal Automation are changing the automation industry. This standard is setting the stage for a more open automation environment, where the industry revolutions we hear about, but aren’t prepared for, become commonplace. This includes automatic communication setup, logic that is easily moved between hardware, having automation hardware directly query IT devices… and the list goes on.
Please join me as we delve into IEC 61499 and Universal Automation to discover what it can do for us today.

Utilizing an acoustic pulse to determine the amount of oil present in the water

Presenter: Steve Stodulski, Applications Specialist, Liquid Analysis Measurement, Galvanic Applied Sciences.

Synopsis

The measurement of oil particles held in a suspension of water is a critical measurement for the re-use of water in down hole oil field production or for the environmental discharge of the produced water. Often this is done using an optical method, however, in many circumstances fouling of the optical windows occurs, rendering an optical method impractical. In these cases, an ultrasonic measurement is a preferred approach. The presentation will discuss how an acoustic pulse can be utilized to determine the amount of oil present in the water.
