ROUND UP
A
highly advanced, yet easy-to-use controller, that uses intuitive technology
similar to today’s mobile-phone apps to help ensure more efficient and
safer petrochemical handling operations, has been launched by
Honeywell
.
The Fusion4 MSC-A’s ground-breaking interface makes it simple to use.The
controller is operated using intuitive, on-screen icons, which reduces training
time and improves accuracy.
The interface delivers detailed process data, resulting in superior opera-
tional monitoring.
“The Fusion4 MSC-A puts control of the operation back in the hands of the
user,” said Richard Thompson, general manager, Honeywell Enraf. “We’ve
used a smart interface to give rich, clear information on the transfer operation.
"This new controller is more precise, secure and safe, and provides superior
traceability.”
The Fusion4 MSC-A offers the most advanced functionality of any additive
controller available. Key features include:
• It is the only device in the world capable of live data transfer in hazard-
ous areas. Safe, secure two-way data communication with the handheld
Fusion4 Local Access Device allows rapid transfer of transaction data,
configuration files and calibration records
• Advanced process monitoring and control for up to 12 streams simultane-
ously at the load rack
• Detailed transactional data, alarms, diagnostics and calibration event log-
ging for a secure audit trail for business and regulatory auditing
• Fast, efficient management of multiple systems and sites
• Compatibility with Honeywell Enraf’s safe area device monitoring soft-
ware package Fusion4 Portal for remote monitoring and configuration of
hazardous area devices, as well as MID-approved bill of lading printing,
scheduled summary printing, alarm management and transaction audit
trails to boost efficiency and compliance.

Precise blending of petrochemical
products in hazardous areas
T
he new Rifline complete industrial relay system from
Phoenix Contact
ranges from a slim 6,2 mm coupling
relay to a relay as a small contactor replacement.The most
powerful relay can switch voltages up to 400 V.The univer-
sally pluggable relay system ensures high machine and
system availability. The relay system is based on Phoenix
Contact’s push-in technology, with which wiring is done by
inserting the wire directly into the clamping sleeve, which
significantly shortens the installation time.This technology is
already in use in several products, such as the PLC-Interface
relay series and the Clipline complete terminal block system.
The usage of bridging material from the existing terminal
block product range enables simple current distribution. A
few of the relay modules in the series can be upgraded to
a timer relay with the pluggable timer module. The multi-
functional plug-in module offers four time ranges and three
timer functions.The relays are offered as a complete module
for conventional input voltages. This modular component
system enables the implementation of custom solutions.
