The measurement and control system BlueBox is a modular and scalable basis to implement projects of all sizes. It allows to manage hundreds of sensors and actuators, to perform most complex instrumentation, control and automation functions and it provides reliable monitoring.
Data and event messages can be transmitted via networks and mobile telephone systems, with the software products providing visualization and control up to complete SCADA systems all layers of data acquisition and control for water processing are implemented.
In addition to the stand-alone operation using the build-in color touch screen, all components of the BlueBox family are designed to be connected based on TCP/IP and signaling by a wide range of transmission technologies including landline, mobile and satellite systems. The range of functions includes visualization and control in control centers, alert messaging via short message service (SMS), fax and email and the secure transfer of data in external databases.
Even the most innovative and modern control and monitoring system stands and falls with data quality. GO Systemelektronik provides not only current communication and information technology but also long-term experience in reliable and precise measurement engineering together with appropriate control and analysis methods. With this unbroken competence across the entire spectrum from the sensor to a web portal the reliability of data and function is ensured.
With BlueBox you decide upon a system of perfectly matched products including a comprehensive service. The A3 & GO Systemelektronik team will advise you about appropriate components and methods during the planning stage and provides active support during implementation. After commissioning we are available at all times to provide maintenance, support and expert advice - from a sensor to a web portal.
Everything starts with accurate measurement. Without precise, long-term, stable measurements using appropriate methods it is impossible to generate reliable information.
We provide a wide range of high-quality sensors and sensor combinations for physical, chemical and biological parameters in water and environment.
Both analog sensors to be used on transducers and sensors with digital interfaces to be integrated in field busses, as well as optical multi-parameter sensors like the UV/Vis Insitu Spectral Analysator ISA are available.
The different designs and implementation options enable the application in most diverse operating sites and conditions - industrial settings, in the field and mobile applications.
The signal generated by a sensor always requires a suitable conditioning; the importance of this step is no less than the sensor precision. For all sensors we provide appropriate transducers (Smart Modules) to generate accurate measurements from the sensor signals or values deduced from multiple sensors like salinity.
These transducers are designed to form an open system, as is the whole BlueBox system. They allow the integration of sensors and actuators from any supplier, preventing getting locked in a single-vendor solution. In this way, the data acquisition and control is not limited to water-related parameters.
The intelligent transducer BlueSense also provides a flexible and comprehensive controller function and the feature to log the measured data to a SD-Card as long-term time series in a simple way - and is suitable for stand-alone operation.
| The BlueBox performs user-definable data analysis on the basis of current and historical data, which can be comprised of complex mathematical and statistical algorithms. Control systems can be implemented covering simple PID strategies up to adaptive model-based technologies to respond to difficult control variables and time-variable dynamic processes. With these features the BlueBox constitutes a modular and scalable platform for monitoring, control, and management functions. The integrated networking capability renders this system a complete solution for the implementation of large and diverse projects. All relevant transmission technologies are supported including field busses, networks, landline and mobile telephone systems and satellite links together with a wide range of protocols and services. This also allows a seamless integration with existing IT systems without additional investments. |
| With the help of the flexible communication possibilities of the BlueBox-System it is possible to transmit events locally or via telephone, network, mobile network and satellite (and if required, through redundant paths), in a swift and reliable manner. All usual services like SMS, email, fax and network protocols are available for the transmission. Response times can thereby be minimized and the reliability of operation can be optimized. In addition to the transmission of status and event notifications the support of traditional and most current technologies allows for an uncomplicated and secure remote control, as well as monitoring, including user management and secure encryption. BlueBox systems can seamlessly be integrated into modern IT infrastructures and visualizations. As a result the administrative processes in areas of the process and quality monitoring of hydro technical installations are significantly improved in terms of efficiency, time and reliability. |
Finally, it is important to maintain a constant overview and to take advantage of the information availability.
Our data service "BlueGate" achieves a secure aggregation and provision of current and historical measurement data of remote installations.
The service combines a data bank and gateway service to provide an additional level of data backup and visualization, as well as monitoring and control via a uniform portal – even with current mobile devices.
