Senscape allows users to remotely view monitoring equipment status and in a simple tabular format, which is more cost-effective and easier than the graphic mimic displays and logic functions found within more costly SCADA packages.

Parameters for a specific plant, including set-point and relay states, can be adjusted by users as needed, and an alarm summary display pops up over other displays when one of the indicators are activated.

Onscreen trends are easily viewed when recent data displays are needed, and data and events can also be logged within the system for later analysis offline.

Senscape is connected via the Modbus protocol on an RS485 serial link network or using an Ethernet TCP/IP. Operations can also set up multiple networks that combine RS485 and TCP/IP infrastructures.

Trolex says that, with its extensive background in systems design and compiling appropriate packages for specific applications, its team can integrate all facets of a project to ensure functional compatibility, safety and system integrity.

The company also provides fully configured SCADA packages to work alongside its designed sensors and controllers to support a “whole system” philosophy.

Globally focused Trolex said late last year that it had taken on a new brand image across all areas of the company, including a newly formed industrial division to expand into that area parallel with mining.

Established in 1960, the company provides gas detection and environmental monitoring systems and equipment to the mining, tunneling, gas recovery and rail sectors.
