Se­cure and Cost-Ef­fec­tive Pro­tec­tion

SmartPro­tect: The pro­tec­tive func­tion for your ma­chin­ery

The IFTA SmartPro­tect sys­tem is de­signed for pure pro­tec­tion func­tions, but with­out the data record­ing and di­ag­nos­tics of the IFTA Ar­gusOMDS sys­tem. It is ideal for cost-ef­fec­tive pro­tec­tion of in­stal­la­tions where ex­ten­sive data anal­y­sis and long-term data record­ing are not re­quired.

If nec­es­sary, di­ag­nos­tics and data record­ing for short- and long-term use can be eas­i­ly retro­fit­ted to an IFTA Ar­gusOMDS sys­tem at any time.

SmartPro­tect
  • Mea­sure­ment
  • Anal­y­sis
  • Mon­i­tor­ing
  • Pro­tec­tion
  • Sim­ple in­te­gra­tion into ex­ist­ing con­trol sys­tems (field­bus, ana­log, dig­i­tal)
  • Crit­i­cal op­er­at­ing states are avoid­ed and im­por­tant pa­ram­e­ters are sig­nalled to the con­trol room
  • Pure pro­tec­tion - with­out data record­ing and di­ag­nos­tics
  • Field of ap­pli­ca­tion: Small plants and gas tur­bines; the focus is on pro­tec­tive func­tions
  • Up­grade­able with anal­y­sis and record­ing func­tion for short- or long-term use
  • Op­tion­al with ther­mo-acous­tic early warn­ing sys­tem IFTA PreCur­sor

What Makes SmartPro­tect Unique?

Ad­van­tages of the Pro­tec­tion Sys­tem

  • Cost-ef­fec­tive pro­tec­tion so­lu­tion for ap­pli­ca­tions that do not re­quire data record­ing
  • FFT-based sig­nal pro­cess­ing pro­vides max­i­mum flex­i­bil­i­ty
  • Mon­i­tor up to 25 fre­quen­cy bands per chan­nel
  • Early warn­ing sys­tem IFTA PreCur­sor for com­bus­tion os­cil­la­tions op­tion­al­ly avail­able
  • Data serv­er is up­grade­able to full IFTA Ar­gusOMDS sys­tem for long-term stor­age and data anal­y­sis with IFTA TrendView­er. This up­grade can be tem­po­rary or per­ma­nent as re­quired
  • Risk min­i­miza­tion through rapid reg­u­la­tion and in­ter­ven­tion be­fore dam­age oc­curs
  • Au­tonomous long-term mon­i­tor­ing: In the event of a power fail­ure, the sys­tem au­to­mat­i­cal­ly restarts and con­tin­ues its pro­tec­tive func­tion
  • High­ly flex­i­ble in­puts such as in AD4Pro
  • SmartPro­tect is based on a dig­i­tal sig­nal pro­ces­sor (DSP) and thus en­sures 24/7 undis­turbed op­er­a­tion, which is a pre­req­ui­site for real-time ca­pa­ble pro­tec­tion sys­tems

The Cost-Ef­fec­tive So­lu­tion for Dy­nam­ic Phenom­e­na

The IFTA SmartPro­tect sys­tem is de­signed for the con­trol or pro­tec­tion shut­down of the fol­low­ing com­po­nents:

 

  • Com­bus­tion cham­bers
  • Ro­tors
  • Com­pres­sors
  • Blades
  • Gear­box/Bear­ings
  • Engines

The cost-ef­fec­tive IFTA SmartPro­tect sys­tem is used when no data record­ing func­tion­al­i­ty is re­quired.

A typ­i­cal sce­nario: Our cus­tomer has sev­er­al iden­ti­cal sys­tems in use. One of the sys­tems is mon­i­tored and an­a­lyzed 24/7 by an IFTA Ar­gusOMDS sys­tem. If cer­tain limit val­ues are ex­ceed­ed, the ma­chine/plant is au­to­mat­i­cal­ly in­ter­fered with. If an­oth­er ma­chine of the same de­sign is used, it is there­fore not ab­so­lute­ly nec­es­sary to equip it with data record­ing as well. A pro­tec­tive switch-off when the limit value is ex­ceed­ed is suf­fi­cient and no­tice­ably more cost-ef­fec­tive.
