Electro-Sentry Hazard Monitoring

The Electro-Sentry™ is commonly used on grain elevator legs to monitor critical points for shaft slowdown, belt alignment and bearing temperature as part of a predictive maintenance program to protect against catastrophic breakdowns and machinery failure resulting in product waste, machinery damage and process downtime. All Electro-Sentry™ components provide a standard 4-20mA signal compatible with I.S. Barriers, PLCs, Meters and Data Acquisition Systems and are available as an integrated system or as individual sensors.

The Command Center™ is a touch screen display (HMI) and PLC for use with the Electro-Sentry™ Hazard Monitoring System. The Command Center can accept sensor inputs from up to 10 elevator legs combining shaft speed, belt alignment and bearing temperature measurement all into a single solution. Featuring a powerful Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1500 PLC and Panel View Plus 1000 Interface (HMI), the Command Center is a state of the art system customized to meet the demands of each unique application. The system is straightforward and simple to use, allowing even an inexperienced operator to diagnose an alarm condition and location in under 10 seconds. Real time trending and data feedback to the PLC ensures no delay in diagnosing and remedying any fault conditions as they occur. The Command Center can be scaled up or down very easily and utilizes standard 4-20mA sensors making it immune to electrical noise and straightforward to set up, calibrate, and troubleshoot.

  The Electro-Sentry is available as a completely integrated system incorporating the Command Center and individual point monitoring sensors, or as individual components for belt alignment, bearing temperature measurement and shaft speed feedback. The Electro-Sentry is an easy to use, dependable way to safeguard conveyed material operations of all sizes.
  

PLC and Touch Screen (HMI) - Command Center™
The Command Center™ is installed in a NEMA 12 enclosure and includes the following hardware: MicroLogix 1500 PLC, and Panel View Plus 1000 Interface (HMI).

Shaft Speed - FB420
The FB420 is a shaft speed feedback sensor that mounts onto the elevator tail pulley to measure shaft speed. The FB420 outputs a 4-20mA signal across the RPM range of the shaft, and also has 2 programmable relay functions. Housed in a rugged, XP housing, the FB420 is ready to use – requiring minimal end-user calibration.

• Bearing Temperature - TT420Z
  The TT420Z is a 2-wire loop powered 4-20mA temperature transmitter that mounts into standard 1/8” or 1/4” grease fitting (Zerk) taps for bearing temperature measurement. The TT420Z is ready to use – requiring no end-user calibration. The TT420Z probe is 6” long allowing it to be used on a variety of bearing sizes.

• Belt Alignment - TT420F & TT420S
  The TT420F is a 2-wire loop powered 4-20mA temperature transmitter that mounts onto the rear surface of a brass rub-block for belt alignment temperature measurement. The TT420F is ready to use – requiring no end-user calibration. Also available, the TT420S offers identical functionality but screws into the rear of any brass rub-block with a 1/4”-28 tap.
