OCTOBER 2020 “for private circulation only” Design | Measurement | Control | Protection | Calibration From the Director’s Desk Dear Stakeholders, H1 of FY 2020-2021 is now behind us. It was indeed the most unusual half year, which taught us various lessons. Let us put aside the lessons we learnt on Health, Family Relations, Social Behaviour etc. and focus on the business front. Masibus has always been on the forefront of technology. Having started the SCADA division in 1995 and having progressed into Remote Data Acquisition & Control, Wireless Data Transfer & Control, Asset Performance Management APM 4.0 and into the latest IIoT systems, we could put our learning into action during the past six months to monitor and conduct our own business. Other than the Corona Virus, we all also faced a problem on the Indo-Chinese border during this period. Our Prime Minister declared the slogan of “Atmanirbhar”. All Masibus products are designed by our in-house Government approved R&D and manufactured in our factories in Gujarat and Goa. For our procurements, we always give priority to good Indian vendors, ensuring un-interrupted and high quality products to our customers. Masibus has believed and practised “Atmanirbhar” from the very beginning in 1975. Clean Energy: We offer the most cost effective Wired & Wireless solutions for monitoring of PV Strings in Solar farms for Greenfield and Retrofit jobs. IIoT & Industry-4: Products: Sensors, I/Os, IIOT Gateways, Remote Monitoring and Access, Cloud Connectors, OT-IT Secure integration, Middleware, Asset Predictive Analytics on premise & cloud solution. Wireless Data Transfer & Control: Wireless Transmitter having internal storage: Used in Clean Rooms of Pharmaceuticals & Food, Building Automation, HVAC, Cold Storage warehouses, Energy management, Hospitals, data Centres and Research Labs. GPS Clocks: We manufacture India’s best satellite based Time Synchronization Clocks and slave clocks extensively used in Power, Pharma, data Centres etc. Vibration Condition Monitoring: Plant wide monitoring and collection of data over wireless transmission. Calibration: Test Benches and calibration Instruments. As on date all four of our factories are fully functional. All required procedures for safe operation are put in place and the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are strictly followed. Products manufacturing has almost reached the pre-covid levels and dispatches are taking place regularly. The projects which were under execution have also come back on track with Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) being conducted over video. Once again I end with my favourite saying: “When the going gets tough….the tough get going”. Sohrab B. Daver Executive Director www.masibus.com New Product Launches Masibus Multifunction Transducer MFT20 Masibus MFT20 is a cost effective with versatile capabilities for electrical parameter monitoring and communication. It measures all sorts of electrical parameters including voltage, current, PF, power and energy. MFT20 can be further connected to SCADA network, PLC, other indicating instruments and monitoring systems via RS485 modbus RTU port. True RMS, Microcontroller based transducer Auto Scaling from Kilo to Mega to Giga watt Favourites page and storing feature even after power on/off Stores energy register efficiently during power failure Auto Scrolling feature for easy readability Analog o/p accuracy as per IEC60688 Stores last day energy, old energy and hours Din Rail mount Vibration Monitoring Rack VMS-R Masibus’ Vibration Monitoring Rack comprising of electronic modules–monitors, power supply, relay, data acquisition unit in 19” Rack accepts Proximity Vibration input and provides continuous operational supervision of rotating machinery such as turbosets, compressors, multistage pumps, gear boxes etc. VMS-R comes with dual RS485 port & an Ethernet Port to enhance the communication capabilities of the unit and for direct interface with PLC, DCS or SCADA. Compatible with most sensors and probes Programmable Proximity input range Inbuilt Flash memory for Datalogging Dual RS485 port (Modbus RTU protocol) USB port for logged data retrieval Accepts Proximity input Windows based utility software for configuration Buffered output for analysis Diagnostics and status LEDs Relay/Open collector output modules GPS Network Time Server NTS20 NTS20 Network Time Server is an accurate, low cost, extremely compact Din Rail mount GPS for network time synchronisation. Network Time Server takes the time from GPS satellites and provide accurate time output over NTP protocol, to synchronize slave devices with 1milliseconds accuracy or better with respect to universal UTC time. NTS20 is a compact Network Time Server having time signal output like NTP, 1PPS and Serial used for various time synch applications. NTS20 Network Time server can be powered up over the network byPoE or by a 5V DCpower supply. Accurate, Compact Network Time Server USB port for Configuration Remote Alarm notification by SNMP Supporting Timing Protocols: NTP/SNTP & NMEA (GPRMC) IPv4, UDP, TCP, SNMP, HTTP, Telnet networking protocols 12 Satellite parallel tracking NTP v2/v3 With MD5/SHA Authentication PoEoption www.masibus.com Asset Monitoring and Skkynet Middleware Improving reliability, performance and safety are among the top priorities of industrial plants and other asset-intensive organizations, and businesses today are focusing their efforts and resources on controlling costs and maximizing value from investments already made. AVEVA Predictive Analytics helps organizations gain the highest return on critical assets by supporting predictive maintenance (PdM) programs with early warning detection of equipment issues ahead of existing operational alarms. AVEVA Predictive Analytics learns an asset’s unique operating profile during all loading, Strategic, Reliability Requires a comprehensive -Centered Proactive, maintenance infrastructure ambient and operational process conditions. Maintenance Optimized Existing machinery sensor data is input into Predictive APR and diagnostics the software’s advanced modeling process Maintenance predict impending failure and compared to real-time operating data to Condition-Based Maintenance Rules-based logic using determine and alert upon subtle deviations sensor data from expected equipment behavior. Once an Preventive Maintenance Planned based on time or usage statistics issue has been identified, the software can assist in root cause analysis and provide fault Reactive Maintenance Run to failure diagnostics to help the user understand the reason and significance of the problem. Equipment agnostic, the software can be configured to monitor assets regardless of equipment type, vendor, or asset age without the need for manufacturer specific asset information. Predictive Analytics Advantages Reduce Unscheduled Downtime Prevent Equipment Failures Reduce Maintenance Costs Increase Asset Utilization Extend Equipment Life Identify Underperforming Assets Improve Safety Skkynet Skkynet is a global leader in real-time middleware products that allow companies to securely acquire, monitor, control, visualize, network and consolidate live process data in-plant or over insecure networks. In plant, Skkynet offers the The Cogent DataHub®, an industrial middleware solution that connects to virtually any industrial system using standard protocols such as OPC, Modbus, TCP, MQTT, and ODBC to support OPC networking, server-server bridging, aggregation, data logging, redundancy, and web-based HMI.
