Today: Low energy costs & low emissions are a must

Customers are investing in more and more energy saving equipment. Customers are investing in more and more energy saving equipment.

Facts aprox 70% of electrical energy is used in Industry

According to Industry figures 10% of all energy used in industry is used to produce compressed air.

By using a controller to run the system more efficiently it is estimated that most systems can reduce there energy consumption on compressed air plants by around 25 %.

Why do we make

more energy efficient compressor and controllers?

Option: Webserver Module / Visualisation

gdcompressors.eu@gardnerdenver.com29

Visualisation via web server module

Benefits of visualisation SAM visualisation allows the

user to connect to the SAM via a dedicated web server

The user via a PC can visualise selected data for a compressor system which can be viewed on the screen of the SAM

No actual compressor settings can be adjusted or controlled via the visualisation package

Visualisation: How it works

•

To view the visualisation on your internet browser you will need to download adobe flash player http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer

1. The web server module connects direct to the SAM via a RS485 port with a maximum cable length of 1200 mtrs

2. The web server module is then given an IP address and can be accessed by anyone with permission on the network using a standard internet browser

3. Users connect into the company’s LAN network via a standard network cable Remote access is available via a VPN connection
