EFA Technologies








A major part of any leak detection project is ensuring a steady stream of reliable data. Often, the required measurements exist in various kinds of equipment spread over a large area. LEAKNET™has the tools to connect to almost anything.

LEAKNETis network focused, allowing tremendous versatility in communication path layout.

DataGate facilitates multiple-protocol – multiple-source data acquisition. It manages all EFA I/O interfaces and integrates all data from all connected devices for LEAKNET™.

LEAKNET™ Auxiliary systems extend operational reach by providing the ability to observe, operate, and even reconfigure LEAKNET™from a remote operator station. Full access security is provided.

 Interface tools

 

• The Allen Bradley PLC Interface exchanges data bi-directionally with PLC-5 and SLC-500 systems.

 

• Direct Connect I/O allows digital communication with 4-20 milliamp instrument loops. Modems extend the range. RTU packaging provides a rugged, versatile, and maintainable remote data acquisition capability.

 

• The Network Datafile Interface provides LAN connectivity to a DCS, SCADA system, or host computer. The connection can be Class 5 LAN cable, optical fiber, or serial. The TCP/IP protocol facilitates linking to Unix systems.

 

• The PlantScape Application Program Interface (API) facilitates connection to Honeywell PlantScape and Scan 3000 systems.

 

• The Fox IA Application Program Interface facilitates connection to the Foxboro IA.

 

• The Bristol-Babcock Modbus Interface provides a high speed serial Modbus interface to Bristol-Babcock RTUs.

 

• The Serial Modbus Interface moves data to and from Modbus-compatible devices.

 

• The DDE–Link Interface provides bidirectional data transfer with DDE-aware devices and applications, including Microsoft Excel.

 

• The OPC–Link Interface provides bidirectional data transfer with OPC servers.

 

• LEAKNET Remote I/O provides a local interface point which can be located anywhere within a system. A typical use is operating Direct
