INDUSTRY UPDATE Two know more than one
provides the glass industry with more information on high-value applications like float glass manufacturing, glass tempering, and windshield forming and laminating. Temperature profiling runs with a data logger enable operators to quickly optimize furnace settings for new products and to identify problems with burners or airflow. They are complemented by a thermal imager installed at the furnace exit for 100 % production monitoring and traceability.

T
he new wienet Managed Switches from Wieland Electric allow full control and diagnosis of industrial
Ethernet networks. By means of standard ring topology, the switches allow redundant topologies and thereby boost network availability. These switches offer protection against unauthorised access/data traffic, greater resilience and prioritisation of data with real- time requirements. wienet Managed Switches
T Datapaq Furnace Tracker profiling systems travel
through heat-treatment and quench processes. They record the product temperature curves via up to 20 thermocouples cemented to the glass pane. These industry-specific profiling systems consist of a data logger, a thermal barrier, and software with advanced analysis, reporting, and archiving functions.

he FMT- 400 modular expandable programmable controller, designed and manufactured in Great
Britain, gives the user a choice of rack sizes and power options allowing it to be configured to the application requirements.
The FMT-400 provides 300k bytes of user RAM, caters
for 1024 digital inputs and 1024 digital outputs. It will also accept 256, 12 bit analogue inputs and set 256, 12 bit analogue outputs and caters for up to 8 communication ports RS 485 and RS232.
The process power of the system is augmented by the
provision of user functions such as 16 and 32 bit registers, timers, counters and programmable text strings.

support processes including ERPS, RSTP, STP and MRP for Profinet networks (certified up to Conformance Class B) and are adapted for Ethernet IPs. Different port variants from 10/100 Base-T(X) RJ45 ports to variable SFP ports and even Gigabit Combo ports allow for optimal adaptation to the application environment. The full PoE+ performance of 30 W can be tapped with a 51 VDC power supply up to a maximum of 8 ports. The switches meet the highest requirements with their operating temperature range of -20°C to 75°C as well as their excellent MV properties.
