Searching for Higher Ground: Unveiling NeSSI* Gen. II

1. Searching for Higher Ground: Unveiling NeSSI* Gen. II *New Sampling/Sensor Initiative IFPAC - San Diego, CA, USA - Jan. 23, 2002 Rob Dubois - Peter van Vuuren - Jim Tatera . Tatera and Associates “the best way to predict the future is to create it”

2. What is NeSSI? - Activities in 2001... • An ad hoc global industry initiative, formed June, 2000 to drive permanent change in how we do Process Analytical. • Sponsored by theCenter for Process Analytical Chemistry(CPAC) • 2001 Activities… • Focus Groups: Pittcon, ISA, IFPAC, CPAC • Tutorials: ISA-Houston, INTERMAC-Tokyo • Special Teams: X-Team

3. NeSSI Objectives • Facilitate the acceptance/implementation of... • modular, miniature & smart sample system technology • based on ISA SP76 standard substrate (aka footprint) • Promote the concept of... • field-mounted smart sampling/analytical systems • sample system integration with miniature physical sensors • Lay the groundwork for... • open connectivity architecture for sensor communications (e.g. CANbus, Ethernet, etc.) • industry standard communication protocols (e.g. OPC, etc.) • Provide a technology bridge to the process for... • “sensor/lab-on-a-chip” micro-analytical devices

4. The drivers for change... • Reduce Cost to Build • Design and Engineering • Manufacturing and Installation • Reduce Cost of Ownership • Design Standardization • Simpler, less expensive maintenance • Enhance Reliability • Validate sample, data, communication

5. So Where In the World Are We? Market Acceptance Lower Cost Ease of Design System Reliability • What’s going on in the world? • Fast networks; robust electronics • Lab-on-a-chip; lasers; wireless • What does the Market Need? • Reliable, rugged, fast analysis • What are the Critical Issues? • Acceptability by Process Analy. • Technical challenges • Reasonable Cost NeSSI Analyzer House On the Post Time

6. NeSSI Generation I • mechanical, passive components on an ISA SP76 standard substrate (SEMI roots) • Manufacturers… • Parker-Hannifin • Autoflow • CIRCOR • Kinetics • Swagelok Courtesy of Swagelok

7. NeSSI Generation I • Generation I - Industry Trends… • End Users desire the conversion of today’s proprietary stand-alone modules into a SP76 compliant configuration. (e.g. G.C. block & bleed, bypass loop & filtration, vent control, validation modules, etc.) • There will be a continual introduction of more components as End Users and Manufacturers embrace SP76.

9. NeSSI Generation II • “Electrified” with diagnostic sensors • Integral substrate heating & temp. control • Sensor & actuator serial communication • Electrical components integrated with the SAM (Sensor Analytical Manager) • Smart (self-diagnostic)

10. Gen II - A Global, Hazardous Package Div/Zone 1 GP. A-D, T4 Heaters: - Substrate & Enclosure - IEC Ex d by Design NEMA 4 & IP56 Rated Enclosure - insulated AC Power Sensors - Flow, Pressure, Temp. Encapsulated (IEC Ex m) Intrinsically Safe Bus (IEC Ex i) Under review by multi-functional X-team AC Power

11. Gen. II “The Future is Friendly” - Intrinsically Safe electrical sensors and bus allow “hot” Plug & Play capabilities - NO GAS “SNIFF” PERMIT REQ. FOR MAINTENANCE - Typ. No Purge or Pressurization - Low utility req. - No need to S/D for maintenance (X-purge) General Enclosure; no costly X-proof bolting or flame-proof enclosure AC Power AC Power Flexible All-Climate Operation

12. V T P A Gen. II - Serial Bus - “Au Revoir 4-20 mA?” • Flashable CANbus • DeviceNet, SDS, etc. • Engineering units on board sensors • Reduces wiring load • Eliminates I/O • Rugged, low cost (tiny) chip

13. A Comm. µP Memory A/D A Comm. D/A Vent Solenoid Actuator Vent Valve Gen. II“Get on the substrate (bus)!” Flow Sensor Pneu-trinsic “combi” valve

14. V P Substrate Gen. II“Flexible PID control” PID Control Pressure Regulator - spring & diaphragm - also temperature and flow control

15. Gen. II - SAM* does the repetitive jobs • PDA Field Interface • - Graphical • - Wireless • -Bluetooth™ • - 802.11 Wi-Fi Gateway to an Ethernet LAN - OPC Host to a… Sensor/Actuator Bus Software Applets for Sample System Repetitive Tasks (Appl-I) SAM Provides “Open” Development Space for Custom Software *SAM = Sensor Analytical Mgr.
