Beverage keg cleaning process control

Voltage & current measurement

A wireless datalogger with current loop inputs has been developed for CHEOPS spol. s.r.o. which specializes in the beverage industry. To ensure barrel cleaning process quality, internal temperature, pressure and liquid levels need to be measured.

The Wireless Datalogger Current Loop Module (WDL-CL) is capable of logging inputs as well as powering four current loop sensors through standard M12 connectors. The WDL-CL module with integrated accumulator is designed to withstand high temperatures and humid environments (IP67 rated). The user software provides easy and intuitive way of starting the logging process, to show the measured values, adjust the measurement units. The WDL-CL is also able to operate without user software control.

Permanent installation of thermocouple measurement

Temperature measurement

For testing laboratory Federal Mogul in Brno, which perform tests of braking systems, a four channel unit was developed. Unit transmits signals from thermocouples which are installed directly into the brake discs. Existing solution based on slip rings was replaced with wireless telemetry, which is continuously powered via induction power coupling.

Replacement of mechanical contacts has increased reliability of the system and has reduced number of service checks. System was installed into the chassis of original slip ring machine without the need to make mechanical modification.

Air-flow measurement in cooling channels of el. machine

Flow measurement

Siemens Electric Machines s.r.o. in Drasov deals with the development and production of large electric machines. To verify the efficiency and uniformity of electric machine ventilation, an instrument for airflow measurement, custom made by ADWITECH system s.r.o., was used.

These small wireless modules can be placed in the locations that are not accessible using standard measuring systems. Easy installation without a need to perform any modifications in the   machine has made it possible to quickly assemble and disassemble the entire system directly in the testing room. With an internal battery and wireless communication, the system can be used without cabling, which allows you to carry out measurements on a hermetically sealed machine. The module can also be mounted on the moving parts of the machine to determine the flow of air, e.g. in rotor cooling

Strain measurement on rotor of el. machine

Strain measurement

The company TES Vsetín is one of the leading manufacturers of electric machines, drives and components. The development and production of electric machines is based on complex computational modelling. However, in computational models, it is very difficult to capture the effect of centrifugal acceleration on the impregnated winding while the machine rotates.

Due to its minimal dimensions and ability to work under very demanding conditions, the WSM-2 wireless strain gauge system, produced by ADWITECH system s.r.o, enabled to obtain actual strain waveforms at critical points during the operation of an electrical machine and thereby to correct computational models.

Continuous torque measurement on pinion gear

Strain measurement

For company Projekt HTL s.r.o was wireless telemetry installed on a gearbox pinion, which turns electric arc ferroalloy furnace. WSM-2 measurement unit was installed on a rotational part and wirelessly powered via induction power coupling to continuously monitor the drive torque. Signal is wirelessly transmitted to nearby distribution box and converted to an analog signal for the control room.

Usage of strain gauge measurement enables user to determine torque without the need to make any mechanical modification.

Temperature measurement of a linear synchronous motor

Temperature measurement

Wireless measurement from ADWITECH system s.r.o. was conveniently used to gain knowledge about the thermal processes on the slider of the linear synchronous motor. A total of 4 PT100 sensors were placed on the slider. Temperatures were recorded on the upper mounting plate, which also serves as the main cooler for heat dissipation from the motor windings.

The results of the measurements were used for more detailed description and modelling of virtual twins of linear motors.

Concrete sample storage controller

Temperature measurement

The device developed for Labtechnic - CEM s.r.o. was designed to replace an obsolete control system for the control of humidity cabinets and basins used to store concrete samples.

The new system with touch screen display allows control of status, process variables and parameter setting of two independent PID controllers. An integrated web-server is used for remote access with full control of the system, and user account management is implemented for advanced security. Variable records are double backed up and can also be automatically backed up to remote storage. All power electronics and sensor elements of the previous system have also been replaced.

Formula Student Brno University of Technology

Strain measurement

A student team of TU Brno racing, which has been participating in the Formula Student International competition since 2010, has been provided with WSM-2 modules that allowed for the torque to be measured on two half-shafts of the formula's rear axle during test drives.

The objective of the test was to check the effectiveness of the differential and uniformity of rear axle traction.

Mini Cooper

Temperature measurement

A WTM-4 module was used to verify the operating conditions of the Mini Cooper combustion engine to accurately and instantly measure the temperature of oil and coolant for different driving styles.

The module transmitted the values directly to the driver's cab in without the use of cabling, making it easier to install.

The measurement results were used to set the thermostat so that the oil temperature is within the optimum range. Subsequently, a small display with a receiver for permanent monitoring of values was installed in the cabin.

Chamber for concrete samples storage

For Labtechnic - CEM s.r.o. a control unit with a graphic touchscreen was developed and manufactured. It replaced the original obsolete control system, including the power electronics. The programmable display made it possible to create an application precisely according to the customer’s requirements, and also offered space for future expansion of functionality without the need for intervention into the hardware.

The new control system has increased the precision and speed of regulation of inner environmental conditions and, thanks to a modern control panel, made it easier for users to operate it.
