Untitled riff 3

Untitled riff 3 Tube. Duration : 0.83 Mins.

This is one of my original riff compositions. This is recorded via my iPod so pardon the video and audio quality. You might have to turn the volume up a bit Sorry if some areas are off a bit. I really didn't rehearse for this. I was just playing random stuff with my guitar and it hit me that I already have a couple of decent riffs so I decided to shoot it on that day. Distortion used is from my 15 watt Marshall Amp. I'm using an S-470B Ibanez with stock pickups BTW.

Libelium To Attend Three Wireless Events In 2010

Libelium has announced it will exhibit at the Cebit 2010, Sensor and Test 2010 and Sensors Expo and Conference 2010 wireless technology industry events. Cebit 2010 will take place in Hannover, Germany from 2-6 March; Sensor and Test 2010 will take place in Nuremberg, Germany from 18-20 May; and Sensors Expo and Conference 2010 will take place in Rosemont, Illinois from 7-9 June.

At these events, Libelium will demonstrate the Waspmote wireless sensor platform and the Meshlium wireless, Linux-based, multiprotocol mesh router. The Waspmote wireless sensing platform is used for environmental monitoring, fire and flood detection and logistics. The platform includes a range of radio Zigbee modules with a choice of protocol versions, radio frequency and range (up to 40km) as well as a module for GPRS that can connect a sensor network to the outside world.

The Waspmote main board contains an in-built accelerometer and when combined with the GPS module, the device can be used to measure speed, direction and location of vehicles or containers. The platform has outstanding power management, allowing it to be deployed in remote locations and adverse conditions; an optional solar panel allows almost indefinite operation. Complementing Waspmote, the Meshlium multi-protocol Linux-based outdoor router enables mesh networks to be deployed in buildings, arenas, transport hubs (such as railway stations and airports), open spaces and by emergency services.

The router is extremely modular with a wide choice of radio modules and a choice of disk capacity. Meshlium supports five wireless standards - Wi-Fi, Zigbee, GPRS, Bluetooth and GPS - as well as wireline Ethernet. The wide choice of modules and disks enables the router to be configured into 177 possible variants, allowing it to be tailored to meet the needs of a specific network. With its sturdy IP65 briefcase and optional solar panel, car battery and car lighter adaptors, it can be deployed almost anywhere.

Wireless Technologies Can Improve Productivity

Apprion offers guidance on how to achieve success with wireless technologies, which could help improve productivity and plant efficiencies. There are already many implementations of wireless applications at process manufacturing facilities. Companies can benefit from the experience of others by reading case studies and getting involved in industrial wireless groups such as the Wireless Industrial Networking Alliance.

Many other facilities have implemented wireless applications and solutions that may be similar to a another company's objectives. From these experiences, many wireless 'best practices' have already been established. There is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to wireless technologies. The application that needs to be deployed, the bandwidth that application demands, an existing infrastructure, available budget, future extensions, additional applications, even the physical environment at a plant, all of these variables and many others will impact the decision on what wireless technology should be used.

There are many educational resources that provide free, accessible online industrial wireless courses for various levels of wireless knowledge. The unique wireless performance characteristics of a particular plant must also be gauged. While there is no 'one size fits all' wireless technology, no two manufacturing facilities are alike either. Wireless experts can provide a wireless analysis that includes RF site assessment reports, vendor neutral recommendations, wireless application road maps, integrated architecture plans for both wired and wireless systems at a facility and much more.

A wireless site plan will provide a strategic application road map that is unique to the requirements of a particular plant, one that will optimise an investment in wireless and provide a scalable infrastructure for future applications and systems. The ability to see how a process will unfold, anticipate market shifts and mapping out future plans proactively is a key approach in the successful design, deployment, management and maintenance of wireless systems. It is essential to think past the first application. Survey peers in other departments, jointly identify current and future wireless projects and prioritise them.

Map this list with the information from the wireless site plan and the road map will come into clear focus. A good start to paying for the wireless application is to review a wireless planning and budgeting checklist that can help build budgetary business case for high-priority wireless applications and help evaluate the technologies, devices and infrastructure for a successful implementation. As with wireless technologies and implementation best practices, there is now sufficient data and Wireless Application ROI calculators available that can help determine projected cost savings, efficiency improvements and the overall return on a wireless investment. Calculating the potential ROI for future projects will help with project proposals, cost justification and facilitate the approval process.

Stretch Wrapping Offered With Wireless Remote

Lantech's Simple Automation stretch-wrapping systems are being offered with the new Click-n-Go wireless remote control, exhibited at the Las Vegas Pack Expo in booth C1823. Click-n-Go enables fork-truck drivers to place a pallet load on the stretch wrapper, back away a few feet and press a button. It also gives the operator more flexibility by eliminating the need to stop within reach of a lanyard.

Using line-of-sight transmission and a two-step activation process, the Click-n-Go system is immune to interference or accidental activation from stray radio frequency interference in a typical plant environment. Safety is maximised by requiring two buttons to be depressed in sequence for each machine activation: the arm button initiates visual and audible alarms at the machine, followed by pressing the start button.

Click-n-Go maximises the utilisation of drivers and material-handling equipment by fully exploiting the advantages of Lantech's Simple Automation stretch wrappers equipped with the patented XT cut and clamp that automatically starts the film on each load and cuts/holds the tail of the film after wrapping. The Simple Automation machines Q300XT, Q300XT Plus, Q-400XT and S300XT. The Click-n-Go remote control is available for shipment on new machines, as well as for retrofit to existing Lantech Simple Automation machines.

IDC Wireless Interface Mounts Switch Enclosures

Intelligent Distributed Controls (IDC) has extended its range of Zigbee wireless-communication products with the introduction of the ZB111 Wireless Switch Interface. Designed to mount directly onto standard push buttons and pull switch enclosures in place of the normal cable-gland entry, the unit will accommodate up to 16 inputs. The ZB111 requires just two AA internal batteries and is designed to act as a wireless end node in Zigbee wireless networks.

These operate at 2.4GHz on a licence-free IEEE 802.15.4 international standard, providing secure and robust two-way communications up to 100m, with network extension via routing over multiple nodes for longer distances. Typical applications for the ZB 111 include push-button stations, pull-cord operation for Andon call and progress monitoring in manufacturing operations, level monitoring in bunkers and tanks, traffic-light control and mobile-plant interlocking.

The ZB range of modules includes Ethernet and serial gateways, routers, micro-controller and handheld devices, providing a comprehensive single source for complete wireless solutions. These range from simple cable elimination to large-scale, site-wide telemetry systems in a distributed control-system architecture.

All of the modules offer a 64-bit MAC identifier, embedded intelligence, battery management and extremely low power consumption. To support the development and integration of the product range, IDC has also developed client-server applications, which include the ZBServer for web-services integration, over-the-air programming, data logging and OPC connectivity for Scada integration.

Redundancy Approach Protects Smart Wireless

Emerson has announced an approach to redundancy for Smart Wireless monitoring and control solutions. Available with the DeltaV S-series digital automation system, full redundancy protects the wireless network from any single point of failure by allowing primary failover to ensure that data is always delivered, even if there is a malfunction. The enhancements include redundant Wireless I/O, power and communications and a redundant Smart Wireless Remote Link.

The Remote Link can be mounted in class 1/Div 1/zone 0 and easily links the wireless field network into a DeltaV system, which makes an optimised PID available for wireless control. The full redundancy increases the strength of Smart Wireless technology as a complement to wired and bus approaches on capital projects. Smart Wireless is based on the Wirelesshart standard, which is designed for control and monitoring applications. Smart Wireless devices based on the Wirelesshart standard deliver 99.9 per cent reliability because of the self-organising nature of the network.

Devices that conform to the Wirelesshart specification can sense measurements at update rates up to once per second. Wirelesshart also allows exception reporting for network efficiency and devices only communicate a measurement value if it has changed significantly since the last communication or if the time since the last communication has exceeded a required reporting time, optimising battery life.

Smart Wireless Monitors Temperatures In Plant

Emerson's Smart Wireless network using the Wirelesshart communications standard is contributing to process improvements at the Calgon Carbon plant in Blue Lake, California. The network provides continuous temperature measurements from a rotating catalyst kiln, where spent carbon particles are reactivated. Six Rosemount wireless temperature transmitters were installed to monitor temperatures in the kiln and transmit a steady stream of data, giving operators more information for controlling heat levels in each zone.

The wireless transmitters mounted on raised platforms on the surface of the kiln were connected to the existing thermocouples and the Wirelesshart self-organising mesh network was set up with a single Smart Wireless gateway. The six transmitters monitor temperatures in five zones of the kiln and at the outlet, communicating data reliably from the rotating kiln to the gateway, which then integrates the measurements in a host PLC.

Emerson offers a range of wireless field-instrumentation and plant-operations equipment, including Fisher position monitors, Rosemount Analytical and Machinery Health Management devices, and native wireless interfaces to AMS Suite predictive maintenance software, DeltaV digital-automation systems and Smartstart services.

Ismosys Gets LS Wireless Module Additions

The portfolio of module includes Pro-Flex, 2.4GHz Zigbee Pro modules; Si-Flex, sub 1GHz modules for long-range applications; and Wi-Flex wi-fi modules.

LS Research's Modflex design approach enables users to select the module that best suits their application, and then own the design files for complete control. LS Research will certify the design and the customer is free to choose from a selection of licensing options, including royalty-free. The Modflex gateway has dual module support for Zigbee to wi-fi bridging.

All modules have a common footprint and I/O to give developers freedom in their designs. Furthermore the modules are all open-source hardware platforms, so developers have the option to create their own application code on the hardware.

Concern Over Wireless Incompatibility

Syed Tauseef Ahmad, research analyst for industrial automation and process control, Frost & Sullivan, describes why lack of interoperability in wireless is a concern.
While there is potential for wireless deployment in factory automation, concerns about lack of operability plague this technology. People used to build their own systems or buy them from a single supplier. More plant automation has spurred the demand for wireless devices and systems for applications such as monitoring, alarm and telemetry.

They are often customised on proprietary protocols but not based on a common standard or architecture. As a result, these devices offered from multiple suppliers are often not compatible with one another. End users are wary of becoming locked into a proprietary system that may hinder their future advancement. They are also cautious of investing in wireless when they are not confident of the benefits. Given that the end users will not be keen to replace the existing fieldbus installation, suppliers should look to integrate wireless devices to existing wired fieldbus.

Currently, plant IT network assumes significance over automation network. The existence of several open and proprietary communication protocols results in confusion among the wireless devices end users, many of who would rather wait until a uniform standard is established. Around 83 per cent of the end users across process and factory automation rated interoperability as a medium to high concern. The refining and pharmaceutical industries expressed a greater concern over interoperability among end users.

They believe integration with the existing network is important and the presence of numerous controls, fieldbus and automation devices implies that the wireless devices need to integrate seamlessly into the existing network. In the oil and gas and the water and waste water industry, where one of the preferred application areas for wireless devices is telemetry, end users were convinced that the wireless devices must be compatible with each other to ensure a smooth data flow. True interoperability requires an open architecture such as software-based systems, in which various standards can be applied.

Software such as National Instrument Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench (NILabview is capable of communicating with both standards-based and proprietary wireless networks. End users also said the lack of universal standard is a concern. There is a need for a uniform standard and open architecture to enable the integration of wireless devices with existing plant infrastructure such as fieldbus or other control systems. End users must also be convinced about interoperability through product trials or demos, which should be offered by suppliers.

Although the end-user concern is expected to hamper the adoption of wireless in the near future, upcoming standards such as SP100.11a and wireless HART will address this issue. Numerous suppliers are supporting the initiatives that aim to establish a common standard. Success stories about smooth wireless integration and functioning are likely to reduce end-user conservatism and raise the level of adoption of wireless devices.
