NetVuze Precision Network Meter standalone, easy to use, networked with data logging
Challenges with Stand-Alone Pumping Systems • Are Warranty Repairs Justified? • Has the customer run the pump out of spec? • When to do Preventative Maintenance? • Currently its done to a time schedule, but might be too late and who was notified? • How to get Process information from the pump? • If only I could see the flow rate of this pump…
Today’s Solutions • Is a Repair under Warranty? • Use the condition of the pump • Ask customer how they’re using the pump • Guess? • When to do Preventative Maintenance? • Keep track of running hours manually • Guess? • How to get Process information from pump? • Get Maintenance to add a PLC to the pump and do custom programming • Guess?
Preferred Solution • A Precision Meter Solution that has been designed from the beginning to be easy setup and use. • Standalone and always connected with the ability to send emails when abnormal conditions occur • Able to keep track of running pump hours and email when it reaches an hourly maintenance schedule • Able to be viewed from a smart phone or web browser from anywhere in the world. • Does not require any changes to your PLC control process which might introduce risk or downtime

NetVuze Application Features • Up to eight Analog or Time Based Meters can be created to monitor pump status. • Each meter can monitor critical process parameters then generate alarms based on user directed input. • Individual meters can be set to control relay outputs used for external signaling or control. • Alarms can be configured to turn on a Relay, send an Email alert or be recorded into the Alarm log. • Network Connection provides Email alerts, Emailing Log files, Browser-based status and reports, even remote front panel control. • Three separate password permission levels provide separate levels of access and track changes and acknowledgment down to a specific user. • Secure web browser access with login authentication required for viewing or updating all functionality. • Easy to use setup Wizards for all configuration functionality and parameter input. • Dynamic Email Alarms are customizable including real time sensor values, running state status, running time or other important information.
NetVuze Meter Types • Up to Eight individual Analog/Digital Meter displays. • Four Analog Meters/Card using 4-20 mAmp sensors • Connects to industry standard temperature, pressure, flow sensors • Input combinations to create Analog Differential Meters • Can be used to track temperature difference to monitor heat transferred from pump used to determine wear • High Precision digital signal flow monitor • Measures signals up to 20 KHz in fractions of Hz • Digital signal pulse summarizer monitor • Summarized counts stored in non-volatile memory for retention during power out conditions. • Low Precision digital signal flow monitor • Measures signals up to 20 KHz in 1Hz increments • Duty Cycle monitor of digital signal • Measure duty cycle rate of input signal
NetVuze Logging Features • Optional Logging Function: • Saves all pump information based on user selectable time based to a 4Gbyte storage system • Download log information as CSV file that can be directly imported into Excel • User selectable Automatic Email of CSV log files on a nightly basis.
NetVuze Custom Branding • All web pages can have custom logo’s and branding. • Front panel bezel can have custom logo’s and naming on silkscreened keyboard overlay. • Application Specific Meter types can be created to monitor your specific applications • Custom graphics can be displayed in browser or LCD • Custom process logic can be added • Custom configuration wizards can be created to minimize end user setup and control. • Standard configurations can be saved and reused for embedded applications to keep setup time to a minimum
NetVuze Additional Features • Modbus/TCP Slave functionality to transfer all data generated by NetVuze to a PLC • Software upgrades are performed by removable SD card • Configuration data can be backed up and restored to/from removable SD card • Configuration wizards are customized to each meter type and use graphics display which connection is in use
