Historical data

The NGC8106 is designed to retain historical data. This data

can be used for audit trails, maintenance, and troubleshooting

to verify transmitter operation over time and provide a limited

data backup for communication link reliability.

The user is allowed to configure the period of the data

retained by the NGC8106 via the Operator Interface. The

default1 memory configuration provides the most recent 480

analysis cycles containing:

Stream averages for the (default1) 840 last hours, 35 last

days and the most recent last month analyses. Operational

parameters for the (default1) last 480 cycles (Diagnostics

Report): Audit logs (default1); Data retained by the NGC8106

can be collected via a remote communication link or by the laptop

PC local operator interface PCCU.

Chromatograph.

Course type and methods

This is an instructor led course with approximately

one third consisting of hands-on activities.

Student Profile

This training is intended for end user analyzer

technicians, operators or engineers responsible for

the operation of the PGC2000 Process Gas

Chromatograph.

Prerequisites

This is an entry level course designed for personnel

new to this analyzer system or those needing

refresher training.

Course objectives

Upon completion of this course, student will have a

basic understanding of the operation of the PGC2000

Process Gas Chromatograph.

Main Topics

• Basic Sample Systems

• Basic Gas Chromatography

• Analyzer Operation

• Controller Section

• Oven Section

Duration

The duration is 4 days.

The ABB 3ASC25H204 DAPU100 Control Module is an essential component for industrial automation

systems.

It integrates advanced control logic and communication capabilities,

ensuring seamless integration with other components in your system.

Designed with precision engineering, this module delivers consistent and reliable

performance even under demanding industrial conditions.

Its robust design ensures longevity and minimal downtime,

making it a cost-effective solution for your automation needs.

The DAPU100 module supports a wide range of operating voltages,

including 220V, and has an output frequency of 3ASC25H204 kHz,

making it suitable for various industrial applications.

Its lightweight design (0.08 kg) ensures easy installation and maintenance.

This module is part of the ABB 3ASC25H204 series, known for its high-quality standards and reliability.

It is certified and tested to meet international quality standards, providing peace of mind for users.

With custom processing options available, the ABB 3ASC25H204 DAPU100 can be

tailored to specific project requirements, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility with existing

systems.

This self-documenting

concept greatly improves serviceability

and upgrade ability. It also improves

quality and reliability by eliminating

loose wiring connections and allowing

components and modules to be tested

before system installation.

Superior VistaNET2.0 Connectivity

Integration of the PGC2000 into

the process control loop is readily

achieved with the ABB VistaNET2.0

Integrated Process Analyzer Network

Architecture. VistaNET2.0 is an economical single-wire solution that enables

seamless connectivity to existing

Ethernet-based systems.

With VistaNET2.0 all process analytical

equipment can share the same network for data exchange, with control

systems and higher-level processes, in

a true distributed network architecture.

VistaNET2.0 provides plant engineers,

maintenance engineers and other data

users with a common platform for data

collection, presentation and analysis.

A More Compact Design

For Greater Space Savings

The PGC2000 has a significantly

smaller footprint than competitive

designs. The analyzer is only 19.5

inches (496 mm) wide. For most

configurations, there are no components, tubing or wiring on the left

side. That saves even more space in

installation. Analyzer-to-analyzer spacing has been reduced by over 19

inches (482 mm), significantly reducing the required shelter space for

multi-analyzer systems.

Improved Serviceability

The PGC2000 uses an integrated backplane that eliminates wiring harnesses

and terminal strips. All subsystems

such as temperature controllers, detector amplifiers, sensors, and options

are assigned specific, clearly labeled

plug locations. This self-documenting

concept greatly improves serviceability

and upgrade ability. It also improves

quality and reliability by eliminating

loose wiring connections and allowing

components and modules to be tested

before system installation.

A Gas Chromatograph – Built On

A Foundation Of Leadership

ABB manufactured and sold the first

on-line process gas chromatograph in

1957. In the decades since, ABB has

continually advanced its process GC

technology leadership. Now, ABB is

leading the way into the 21st Century

with the PGC2000 series of process

gas chromatographs.

The PGC2000 is the second generation

of Vista on-line process GC’s. ABB PGC

analyzers have set a new standard for

ease of use, quality and reliability. The

PGC2000 has also raised process GC

technical standards, with more compact

size, improved serviceability, superior

connectivity and digital analytical

control.

In line with the duties required by

UK health and safety law and in particular the

Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres

Regulations (2002) Regulation 6 and the Provision

and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (1998)

Regulation 12, HSE is stating that Users of GC’s

produced by other manufacturers should discuss

the suitability of their current operating

arrangements for other manufacturers’ GC’s.

The specific intent of this communication is to

formally respond to users of ABB’s GC equipment

manufactured in Lewisburg, WV regarding the

suitability of said equipment relative to the specific

issue that is the subject of the HSE Safety Alert

Bulletin Number CE MHD 1 2017. The document

attached to this communication represents ABB’s

relevant response to its end users.
