ABB: User conference, exhibition, flow, SCADA, wireless
Users and specifiers of process, plant and utility automation equipment, software and services gather here April 29-May 1 to discuss successes, business challenges, and technologies with ABB representatives and others at the ABB Automation World 2008 Users’ Conference and Exhibition. SCADA, wireless, flow, and analyzer technologies are among recent ABB product introductions. (See photos below.)
In separate developments, ABB provided good news about its financial performance: ABB net income up 87% on energy efficiency and infrastructure demand.
Don’t call this a flowmeter: G4 series, this new, fourth generation of ABB Totalflow XSeries flow computers (XFCG4) and remote controllers (XRCG4) is designed to monitor, measure, and control oil and natural gas facilities significantly faster and more efficiently than its predecessor, the G3 series.
Brent Barry ABB market & product planning manager shows off the new ABB Totalflow XSeries flow computers (XFCG4) earlier this month in Houston.
The XFCG4 series consists of low-power, microprocessor-based units that can meet a wide range of measurement, automation, monitor, control and alarming applications for a variety of remote oil and gas systems. Compatible XRCG4 series of remote controllers enables customers in the oil and gas industry to monitor, measure and control their facilities from anywhere and at any time with the aid of sophisticated, proprietary software and wireless technology.
