Background • Swagelok committed to analytical instrumentation for over 50 years • Our response to NeSSi and subsequent work have helped define 1st generation miniature modular sample systems • We are continually developing “fit-for-purpose” 1st generation components • We are ready to move on to defining and developing 2nd generation components
Evolution of Modular Sample Systems • 1st Generation NeSSi – miniature modular achieved • ISA SP76 interface standard • Commercially available control solutions • Functional downmount components • Systems successfully installed • Benefits are being realized • 2nd Generation NeSSi – Smart is next • Plug-n-play devices, integrated with S.A.M. • Multi-drop sensor bus communications • Self-diagnosing sample systems • Configurable device personalities • Multi-variable transducers
Smart Device Example • Switching Valve • Hot-swap plug-n-play • Electric Actuator
