Proline ZENSE - Fibre Optic

"ZENSE"  Intelligent Distributed Linear Heat Sensing

Introduction

PROLINE  "ZENSE" Line Type Temperature Detection System is a fast measurement, high performance, cost effective linear heat sensing system based on Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) technology. In conjunction with standard multi-mode optical fibre probes,"ZENSE"provides the most reliable temperature measurement system currently available in the Industry. Offering accurate temperature measuring points at every 1m along multi-kms lengths of  fibre.
These intelligent systems have an integral Ethernet-ready computer and pre-loaded software providing effective networking and open communication capabilities.

Optical Fibers/Fibres

Configuration

The Zense system software allows for configuration of  each of associated  standard multi-mode optical fibres (50.0m or 62.5m core diameters) into an unrestricted number of "zones". With each zone determined by referencing a defined start and end point along the fibre. Dedicated sections independently monitored for any of the different alarm signals possible from the system.
Standard system specification allows for connection of the fibres as single or double ended (loop)operation, for each of the 2 or 4 integral  channels. (see Figure.1). With channel capacity extended via an external multiplexer unit.
Where double ended configuration is adopted, the system will continue to monitor changes in temperature up to 10m either side of any break in the fibre.

Controllers   
                                                           

A typical system schematic for a "Zense" system using the F-M04B controller - designed for incorporation within a customer central control panel - is illustrated in figure.3 below. This system is able to support a wide variety of  ancillary input/output and communication devices as shown.
Additional controller options are illustrated under Figure.4:-
F-M04R ....With 2U design 19" rack mounting kit    
F-M04S......Self contained controller within NEMA4X / IP66 rated enclosure with 15" (380mms) LCD display and separate IP66 keyboard  complete with enhanced visual graphic display option
All Zense Controllers are supplied -as standard- complete with multi-language software (English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish and Russian) to allow configuration, calibration, communication and autonomous operation. It also provides for a simple temperature trace to be viewed. For enhanced visual graphic display software option see Figure.5

Enhanced Graphic Display Option (EGDO)

A multi-language optional enhanced graphic display software option of temperature data can be automatically configured  requiring no additional set-up. In addition to displaying multiple temperature profiles, the EGDO shows summary temperature and alarm status information for each configured zone. Recorded data can be replayed using its powerful Data Control facility to view historical events at different speeds.
