BENEFITS OF IMPLEMENTING AN SAU AGNKS
- Reduces expenses for routine automation maintenance and automation repair in case of failures
- Increases AGFCS operation safety due to opportune maintenance and repair
- Decreases the probability of false stops.
- Reduces personnel expenses in case of use of workstations for cashier-filler and compressor machinist on a single PC.
- Automates AGFCS reporting.
MAIN SAU AGNKS FUNCTIONS
- Controls compressor installations and their auxiliary mechanisms, AGFCS operating mechanisms, gas-drying unit and fire automation systems according to specified metrics.
- Automatic AGFCS protection by technological parameter values, including fire-prevention measures and excessive gas pollution elimination measures.
- Provides a graphical or tabular interface for the visualization of desired metrics and emergency notifications on a PC-based workstation.
- Continuous diagnostic monitoring all channels of ACS measurement and control.
- Maintaining archives of historical data, including gas flow rate on “input” and when fuelling.
- Allows the granting of system access rights subject to user category.
- Formation of both electronic and printed reports.
SAU AGNKS CONSTITUTION
- ACS is intended for the control of AGFCS devices common to all gas stations (slides, pumps, ventilators, fireextinguishing system) and operating mechanisms of gas-drying unit.
- Compressor ACS is intended for the control of compressors used for gas compression on AGFCS.
The SAU AGNKS complex is built with use both of own firmware facilities and equipment of leading world firms. Controllers being firmware basis for each SAU AGNKS subsystem are based on devices produced by ICP DAS, Atmel, Advantech companies, as well as modules of own development.
The division of the AGFCS subsystem control functions between control units allows the user to:
- Increase the safety of the ACS system as a whole.
- Simplifies system implementation and provides the ability to update AGFCS with less than twenty-four hour down times
