OPSIS - Monitoring Emissions and Processes for Interface to Sensors
When monitoring emissions and processes, it is almost always also of interest to collect process parameters such as flue gas temperature, process pressure, and flue gas flow. Signals from such sensors are easily integrated into the OPSIS monitoring systems, both in analysers and stand-alone data loggers. In simple cases, the sensors have analog outputs for measured value and perhaps a contact output to signal status. The signals are then connected to the monitoring system via the OPSIS module-based IOMan interface. IOMan can handle, among other things, voltage and current signals (active and passive), and closing and opening switches. More advanced sensors can have communication protocols to deliver information and OPSIS data loggers support about twenty different protocols. OPSIS can supply several types of sensors, but it is also perfectly possible to connect sensors from other suppliers.
OPSIS gas and particle analysers, IOMan interfaces, and internet-connected data loggers make it possible to create complete monitoring stations for collecting and transmitting all types of monitoring data related to air quality. The illustration opposite gives an example of what it can look like with an AR500 DOAS gas analyser, an SM200 particle analyser, additional sensors connected to IOMan modules, and a WT256 as an interface to the internet. A monitoring station can be simpler, but OPSIS has also supplied, installed, and commissioned much larger and more complex systems than this.
By establishing several monitoring stations of this type, it is possible to create measurement networks for complete air quality monitoring at local, regional, or even national level. In combination with OPSIS cloud services ODS or OPSIS measurement services OMS, a well-structured and reliable total solution is achieved for all monitoring and reporting needs.
