TraceNet TCM18 CONTROL AND MONITORING SYSTEM


Control and monitoring systems play an essential role in heat tracing applications which
range from freeze protecting water lines to maintaining critical process temperatures.
Advancements in Thermon’s TCM18 microprocessor have made electronic
control and monitoring units both cost effective and reliable. Electronic control and
monitoring systems ensure accurate temperature measurements, conserve energy
and extend system life.
A versatile electric heat
tracing control and
monitoring network
is key to reducing
operating cost in plants.
The TCM18 functions
as the user interface
for a TraceNet TCM18
control panel network of heat tracing control modules. The TCM18 allows the
operator to access operating control parameters and operating conditions throughout
the heat tracing system network.
THERMON SOLUTIONS
The new TraceNet TCM18 is an extension of Thermon’s proven
control and monitoring systems (TraceNet, TC1818, TC202, TC201,
TC101, and ECM). Each of these systems offer design simplicity and
versatility. The components have been designed for easy installation,
maintenance, and system expansion over the life of each system.
The controller can be located
in the field, reducing field wiring
while providing efficient energy
management and lower operating
costs. Communications to each
of these controllers can interface
through serial, Ethernet, fiber
optic, or wireless connection
back to the plant centralized
control center and/or TraceView
Network Explorer (TVNE) which
is specifically developed for
use with electrical trace heating
systems.
TVNE is a Supervisory Control
and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
package developed specifically for interfacing with Thermon
controllers. TraceView Network Explorer can be operated on a PC for
Ethernet connections and can communicate with up to 4096 controllers
over 32 channels, providing up to 15,000 heat trace circuits to be
monitored within the same network.
LOWER OPERATAING COST
TCM18 controllers sense ambient
temperature and pulse power to the
heat trace circuits proportionally. 100%
power is applied at the minimum ambient
temperature, and each heater is fully “off”
at the desired maintain temperature.
Ambient Proportional Control (APC) saves
energy compared to conventional ambient
proportional control.
