The CEMView DB-PPC is a Panel PC based Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC) with 15" or 17" TFT LCD and Touchscreen designed to provide local data acquisition, storage and control for the CEMView Continuous Emissions Monitoring (CEM) Data Acquisition System (DAS).
DB-PPC
The Windows XP Embedded operating system is optimized for the hardware and installed on industrial solid state Compact Flash media.
The DB-PPC can communicate directly to gas analysis instruments using onboard RS-232 serial ports or Ethernet ports. Serial RS-422/485 ports can be added with Ethernet Serial device servers. The DB-PAC is designed for typical deployment in a CEM shelter.
For CEMView CEM DAS applications, the CEMView Data Buffer application software is typically installed on the DB-PPC. It supports the OPC Data Access and OPC Alarms & Events specification interfaces. The CEMView DB-PPC is responsible for real-time control and sequencing activities such as probe blowback and calibration valve control sequencing. It can acquire measurand data from the gas analysis instrumentation using an instrument specific OPC Server. Automatic data reduction capabilities are built into the system's CEMView DB application software. The data reduction algorithms can be customized to meet the automatic data reduction requirement of regulatory compliance authorities and jurisdictions. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is used for historical data storage.
The CEMView Client application component of the CEMView system connects to the CEMView DB OPC Server to acquire the real-time data. An OLE-DB provider connection to the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition database is used to acquire the historical data.
