Preface System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 vii Definition of terms used in this guide The following conventions are used in this guide: Cell Monitor The CellView voltage sensing element Mesh Router The CellView networking and routing device for the Cell Monitor. The access point radio (AP Radio) is a separate device to the Mesh Router but in this manual the devices may be referred to as a single device for ease of understanding. OPC tags 7DJGHILQLWLRQVLQ&HOO9LHZ¶VOLE for Process Control compliant communications server. These tags are the single point of communication between the CellView Cell Monitors and either a separate control system or a Human Machine Interface (HMI) CellView Channel These are the channels which the Cell Monitors use for communication with the Mesh Router IEEE 802.11 A set of standards defining wireless local area network (WLAN) computer communication in the 2.4, 3.6 and 5 GHz frequency bands IP Address Internet Protocol address, the address using the following form AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD where each letter represents a number. This is an address used by Ethernet network routing equipment to determine where IP packets need to go IP Subnet An IP Subnet is a reference to set of addresses which are accessible to devices without requiring routing. For example if a subnet is 192.168.1.0 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 any device which has an address between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254 will be able to communicate with any other device which has an address between 192,168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 . However it will not be able to communicate with a device on the 192.168.2.0 network unless a router is present. IP Subnet mask The IP Subnet mask is a number which represent what subnet ranges are available to an IP networking device without contacting a router. For example a 192.168.1.1 device with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 will be able to contact any device with an IP of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (254 possible addresses). However if the subnet mask was 255.255.0.0 then the device could contact any device from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.254.254 (~64000 devices). For further information refer to a more detailed reference
Chapter 1 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 1 Introduction to CellView The CellView® system provides a method of monitoring the operating conditions in the electrolytic cells used for metal electro-refining and electro-winning. The system consists of a wireless, battery-powered Cell Monitor connected to each individual electrolytic cell. The Cell Monitor communicates with one or more Mesh Routers which route the Cell Monitor messages to the server and provide the wireless data network. If communication between a Mesh Router and Cell Monitor is interrupted after some time the Cell Monitor will attempt to communicate with another Mesh Router. The Mesh Routers form a fault tolerant network which will automatically heal / organise and re-route communications if Mesh Router failures occur or communication pathways are interrupted. The Mesh Routers communicate with a central Server via Ethernet. The Server has an OPC interface to communicate with the end users control system. Figure 1 Typical CellView System This manual contains instructions for all stages of engineering and implementation. Generally the end user engineer will use only those portions dealing with using and maintaining the system ± Chapters 5, 6, 7 and 8.
Chapter 2 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 2 Network Planning Introduction The CellView wireless cell voltage monitoring system requires planning before the CellView server, Mesh Routers and Cell Monitors can be configured correctly to communicate with each other. This chapter covers the planning of the network and the following chapters cover the setup and configuration of the Mesh Routers and CellView server. This manual assumes that the quantities of the following components are already known: x Number of Cell Monitors x Number of Mesh Routers If these are not known a simple guideline is that the network ratio is roughly x One Mesh Router to 50 Cell Monitors This number can be higher however it is based on the scan rates of the Cell Monitors. So in a typical 1000 cell refinery you would need at least 20 Mesh Routers. Minimum network planning requirements to get the routers and server configured: x Ethernet addresses for the Mesh Routers x Mesh Router OPC tags These items are the minimum requirements for router and server configuration. Further setup will be required using either the provisioning interface ³&HOO9LHZ6HWXS´RUthe CellView OPC interface before the Cell Monitors may be powered on. Network Setup A typical CellView Ethernet network topology is depicted in Figure 2. Before addresses may be finalised the following questions should be considered; x What Site network IP Address is required for the CellView server x Which Mesh Routers will be physically connected to the CellView server x Which Mesh Routers will be completely wireless x What IP Subnet will the Ethernet Mesh Routers operate on x What IP Subnet will the Wireless Mesh Routers operate on x What IP Subnet will be used for clients connected to the Wireless Mesh Routers x What other devices will use the CellView wireless or Ethernet network and what are their particular network requirements
Chapter 2 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 3 As there are many possible options it is recommended that sequential IP Subnet numbering is used. For example; 192.168.1.0 for Ethernet Mesh Routers - (where in Figure 2) 1 corresponds to A) 192.168.2.0 for Wireless Mesh Routers - (where in Figure 2) 2 corresponds to B) 192.168.3.0 for Wireless Mesh Router clients - (where in Figure 2) 3 corresponds to C) Site requirements may preclude this method. For example, on a site network where the 192.168.2.0 subnet was visible and accessible by the CellView server from the Site network port the CellView server would not be able to communicate with the Wireless Mesh Routers. The choice of subnets can not conflict with any existing site subnet, if the 192.168.3.0 subnet is used onsite you can not use that particular subnet for the CellView network. To avoid subnet conflicts: Ensure all subnets used on the CellView network do not exist on the site network (to which the CellView server is connected)
Chapter 2 4 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 Default network setup Figure 2 CellView Network Figure 2 shows the default CellView network layout where A,B and C are the user selected subnets. Notice that Mesh Router IP addresses begin at 10 for Ethernet Mesh Routers and 50 for wireless Mesh Routers. This reasons for this are:  To enable some fixed IP addresses to be available on the Ethernet network  To ensure that the maintenance engineer can quickly determine whether a fault has occurred with a wireless or Ethernet Mesh Router Notes:  Traffic on the site network will not be able to contact the CellView network.  At least two Ethernet connected Mesh Routers must be used if a redundant communication pathway is to be provided for the CellView network.  The Mesh Router uses the WIFI 802.11 standard for communication only with other Mesh Routers. It is connected to an Access Point radio (serial connection) which communicates with the Cell Monitors using a one MHz wide GFSK modulated VLJQDO7KLVFKDQQHOLVWKHµ&HO9LHZ&KDQQHO¶
Chapter 2 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 5 Example Network Setup Consider a small system consisting of four Mesh Routers and 60 sensors connected to a site network. The required site network IP address for the CellView server is as follows: Site Network Card: Site IP 192.168.45.16 Subnet 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway 192.168.45.254 There are no existing site subnets for 192.68.1.0, 192.168.2.0 and 192.168.3.0 networks. The CellView network can therefore be setup as follows: x Server Configuration: o Site Network Configuration  Site network IP 192.168.45.16  Subnet 255.255.255.0  Deafult Gateway 192.168.45.254 o CellView Network Configuration  CellView network IP 192.168.1.1  Subnet 255.255.255.0  Deafult Gateway (Assigned by software) x Ethernet Mesh Router configuration. o Ethernet Mesh Router 1  LAN IP : 192.168.1.10  WLAN IP: 192.168.2.10 o Ethernet Mesh Router 2  LAN IP : 192.168.1.11  WLAN IP: 192.168.2.11
Chapter 2 6 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 x Wireless Mesh Router configuration Note - Wireless Mesh Routers must have DHCP server components enabled o Wireless Mesh Router 3  LAN IP : 192.168.3.50  WLAN IP: 192.168.2.50 o Wireless Mesh Router 4  LAN IP : 192.168.3.51  WLAN IP: 192.168.2.51 x The PDA has a dynamically allocated IP address. After determining these settings a network diagram as shown in Figure 2 should be produced following which the setup and configuration of both Server and Mesh Routers may be completed. Network Cautions Do not encourage the use of the CellView wireless network to carry data unnecessarily unless it is carefully planned. If the CellView wireless network does support additional devices it has an associated risk of adversely affecting the Cell Monitor communication. Only select non standard IP addressing schemes if competent.
Chapter 2 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 7 Planning the Mesh Router Wireless channels The Wireless and Wired Mesh Routers communicate with each other using the IEEE 802.11 g wireless standard. The Mesh Routers make use of high power antennas and as a result if they overlap existing site wireless networks they may impact on the site wireless network performance. It is therefore important to avoid overlapping the Mesh Router wireless channels with site wireless channels. The table below indicates what channels are available given that some network channels are already used. The Tables below are not related to the CellView Channel for sensor communication and only relate to the Mesh Router 802.11b/g communication. Channel Used Channel Option 1 Channel Option 2 1 6 11 2 7 12* 3 8 13* 4 9 5 10 6 1 11 7 2 12* 8 3 13* 9 4 10 5 11 6 1 Table 1 IEEE 802.11 b and g Channel Options Channel Number Lower Frequency MHz Centre Frequency MHz Upper Frequency MHz 1 2401 2412 2423 2 2406 2417 2428 3 2411 2422 2433 4 2416 2427 2438 5 2421 2432 2443 6 2426 2437 2448 7 2431 2442 2453 8 2436 2447 2458 9 2441 2452 2463 10 2446 2457 2468 11 2451 2462 2473 *12 2456 2.467 2478 *13 2461 2.472 2483 Table 2 ± IEEE 802.11 b and g bandwidth usage
Chapter 2 8 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 *These channels are not available in North America (governed by FCC) Selecting the best channel for the Mesh Routers is by reference to Table 1. For example if channel 1 is used within the refinery, channel 6 or channel 11 should be used. Where more than one channel is used select a channel with the most separation from the used channels or close to a used channel having a weak signal strength. For example if channels 1 and 8 are used and channel 8 has a very weak signal, use channel 11. The Mesh Routers also have the ability to detect other wireless networks. During installation it is important to check that other undocumented networks do not exist. To check for other visible access points open the mesh router web interface and then select the wireless tab and confirm that no undocumented networks exist. Figure 3 Detecting Wireless Networks Planning CellView Channels CellView channels are the communication channels that the Cell Monitors use to communicate to the Mesh Routers and in turn, the Mesh Routers to the Server. The Cell Monitors communicate wirelessly using GFSK modulation and the bandwidth of each channel is ~1 MHz. As the system operates in the international 2.4GHz band the Cell Monitors can operate on any channel in the 2.401GHz to 2.482GHz range. Because the channel bandwidth is 1 MHz this leaves 82 available channels. In CellView terminology channel one corresponds to 2.401GHz and channel 82 corresponds with 2.482GHz.
Chapter 2 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 9 Planning the CellView Channel(s) It is very important to select appropriate channels for the CellView Cell Monitor network to operate on (CellView Channels). The selection of the CellView channel(s) requires a brief understanding of the 2.4GHz wireless spectrum and how different devices can adversely affect the available bandwidth. It also requires the use of a 2.4GHz spectrum analyser so that channels with the least noise are selected. The CellView channels are in the same spectrum as the Mesh Router 802.11 b/g communication so ensuring that the Mesh Routers do not overlap the CellView Channels is also important (see Mesh Router network planning above). The discussion below relates only to planning CellView Channels not 802.11b/g channels for Mes Router communication. Figure 4 IEEE 802.11 g transmission on channel 6 Figure 4 shows an IEEE 802.11 g transmission on channel 6. Signal power is indicated on the Y axis (left hand side) and frequency indicated on the X axis (bottom). The image demonstrates that a considerable amount of the 2.401GHz to 2.483GHz spectrum is consumed by one single IEEE 802.11 network. Note: To take a similar survey a wireless spectrum analyser (eg: Wi-Spy) may be purchased online which will provide enough information to plan the CellView channels. IEEE 802.11 (b or g) wireless networks are the most common consumer of 2.4GHz bandwidth. For a general guide consider that all IEEE networks use 22MHz of bandwidth, therefore for IEEE 802 channels: Comparing the plot in Figure 4 to the data in Table 2 it can be assumed a wireless network is present in the refinery on channel 6 and that CellView channels 26 ± 48 are not usable. While it is possible to use CellView channels immediately around the wireless network (25 and 49 in this example) it is not advisable. It is better to leave as many spare channels between the CellView network and the wireless network as possible so that optimum signal qualities can be achieved. If Figure 4 was the radio noise plot in a refinery the best channels to use would be above channel 65 or below channel 15. When planning the CellView channels its also important not to forget that the Mesh Router network also uses part of the 2.4GHz spectrum. For example if the Mesh Router network used IEEE 802.11 g channel 6 then CellView channels 25 through 49 would not be recommended for use.
Chapter 2 10 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 Important points: x Avoid using areas of the spectrum used by other wireless networks x Avoid using areas of the spectrum with excessive radio noise x Do not use the same part of the 2.4GHz spectrum which the Mesh Routers use for their IEEE 802.11 g network x In a situation where all available channels are used it may be easier to determine the appropriate wireless channels by surveying the implementation area first. Once the area is surveyed select the CellView channels by locating areas on the spectrum plots with the least radio noise. x Try to keep the CellView channels together in a small group < 22 channels wide (unless more than 22 channels are required) so that the CellView network is as spectrum efficient as possible. x The CellView channels which are selected should be included in the network plan and the particular region which they use should always be free of wireless networks. While the Cell Monitors are tolerant of wireless traffic it is best to record their channels so that other networks are not inadvertently placed over the CellView network. x It is also good practice (though not necessary) to set the CellView channels lower in the frequency range rather than higher. For example if channel 1 and channel 82 were available use channel 1. The reason for this is in the way that the sensors scan the network for Mesh Routers, if the Cell Monitors are on channel 82 it will take longer and FRQVXPHPRUHSRZHUWKDQLIWKH\¶UHVHWWRFKDQQHO
Chapter 2 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 11 Design Example for the CellView Network Example 1) A site requires 1000 Cell Monitors and currently has a wireless network operating on IEEE 802.11 b channel 7. The wireless survey from onsite indicates that network on IEEE 802.11 b channel 7 creates a low level of radio noise. Setup would therefore be: x Set the Mesh Router IEEE 802.11 g network to channel 11 x 20 CellView channels required (1000/50) use the lower channels 1 to 20 x MIPAC would request that the site does not setup another wireless network on channel 1 or else they may interfere with the CellView network Example 2) A site required 2000 Cell Monitors and they operate a wireless network on Channel 11. From a spectrum plot from the site it appears that there is noise in the lower region 2.401 to 2.410 GHz but apart from this there is little noise generated by the network on channel 11: x Set the Mesh Router network set to channel 11 (2.451GHz to 2.473GHz) ± Confirm that this is ok and the network on channel 11 is not adversely affected x 40 CellView Channels are required (2000/50) use channels 11 to 51 x If the site is in the European Union then use channel 13 for the Mesh Routers For this particular installation because of the very tight margins used for the CellView network is would be very important to closely monitor the system before and after installation ensuring that no sensors achieve less that 70 % RF qualities. Example 30 A site has networks which exist on IEEE 802.11 g channels 1, 6 and 11. Because of this a site survey was requested and the following radio plot was obtained. The site requires 1000 Cell Monitors. x Set the Mesh Router IEEE 802.11 g network to channel 6 x 20 CellView Channels required (1000/50) use channels 1 to 20
Chapter 3 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 12 System Software Installation Operating System Installation Install Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 on the CellView server as per hardware vendor and Microsoft instructions. DHCP Server Setup IMPORTANT: This section provides instructions for DHCP setup for the CellView server assuming it is not part of a domain. If the CellView server is part of a domain please ensure that, once joined, the domain controller has allowed the CellView server to serve DHCP leases (contact the necessary IT administrator), if this is not enabled correctly the CellView server will not be able to serve DHCP leases. Setup Network Interfaces Disconnect the server from any networks until this setup is complete. Ensure server has two distinct network cards that can operate independently. Configure the network card which will connect to the CellView wireless network to have an IP which matches the CellView network IP address (i.e. 192.168.1.1) Do not specify a default gateway for the CellView network card.

Chapter 6 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 51 OPC Server Configuration Introduction This chapter will describe how to setup the following elements of the provisioning file: x The Cell Monitor tag names in the OPC server x The transmission speed of the network x The default RF timing values x The default online/ offline timing values x The sensor groups (if required) In order to minimise commissioning time the CellView provisioning system allows the engineer to predefine many parameters. Once provisioned the engineer may then proceed to allocate Cell Monitors to their respective OPC tags. To do this the engineer must first consider the following items: x Customer tag name requirements x Customer network requirements x CellView server network setup x Wired Mesh Router setup x Wireless Mesh Router setup
Chapter 6 52 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 Provisioning the Network To provision the CellView network the engineer must build a CSV (comma separated value) file containing the appropriate information about the system, this includes: Provisioning File Setup Objects: x Mesh Router IP Addresses and settings including CellView network channel x AP radio ID and settings (each AP radio has to be setup for each Mesh Router) x Group configuration x Cell Monitor names x Application settings Examples of typical CSV file requirements: Example 1) Small system, temporary installation, tag names determined onsite and setup anticipated to be completed through PDA: x Mesh Router IP Addresses and settings x AP Radio settings specifically CellView Monitor network channel Example 2) Large system, where commissioning time is important, tag names known: x Mesh Router IP Addresses and settings x AP Radio settings specifically CellView Monitor network channel x Cell Monitor names Example 3) Large system, where commissioning time is important, sections of the plant run at different sample rates, the CellView server is on a site network and the default application port is blocked: x Mesh Router IP Addresses and settings x AP Radio settings specifically CellView Monitor network channel x Group configuration x Cell Monitor names x Application settings
Chapter 6 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 53 Provisioning File Settings and Considerations It is important to realise that the provisioning file also contains important parameters which control the wireless communication information flow. Avoid changing the parameters as the defaults will work in most typical settings. There are some scenarios listed below that, if they occur, will indicate that the settings need to be changed. Before the installation commences a site radio survey is required which will indicate the amount of 5)µQRLVH¶present in the environment. Once installed the CellView system will be set in a Site Acceptance Test (SAT) mode for a short period of time, the SAT software should highlight any problems generic to the system or specific to certain sensors. The following situations flag possible problems with the default system settings: x A wireless survey indicated that the CellView network could not be placed in a section of the wireless spectrum which was relatively free of noise x The site survey did not indicate high traffic but the site operates several wireless networks across the entire 2.4GHz spectrum and as a result the CellView network must operate in the same frequency bands as the site networks x During site SAT the SAT software reports that all the sensors deviated from an RF Quality minimum set point of 80 more than 10 times during the commissioning period x During a site SAT the SAT software reports that a large number of the sensors performed more than 4 associations x Some areas of sensors suffer from low RF quality. If any of these scenarios occur it is possible that the radio performance of CellView wireless system could be improved by modifying some of the transmission properties. However before modifying the default communication parameters confirm that the poor communication is unrelated to the placement of the Mesh Routers or the channels that particular routers are using. If the network performance is still not acceptable follow the procedures below before modifying the default communication parameters: x Contact MIPAC and describe the problem x Request MIPAC review possible parameter changes to ensure there is no impact on Cell Monitor battery life If parameter changes do not work successfully revert to defaults, this should automatically update the Cell Monitors when they next communicate. If parameter changes prohibit the Cell Monitors from communicating with the Mesh Routers: x Change parameters back to defaults x Wait 24 hours for Cell Monitors to reset to defaults and reconnect with the Mesh Routers x If a faster approach is required removal and reinsertion of the Cell Monitor batteries will force an automatic reset to defaults and connection with the Mesh Routers
Chapter 6 54 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 Modifying System Settings for an Existing System Certain setting changes may require a system restart in some situations. Backup the system before changing configuration settings. All settings except for Mesh Router IP addresses may be modified via the OPC interface. If modification of Mesh Router IP addresses is required they will need to be deleted and then re-provisioned. Provisioning Mesh Routers Before provisioning the Mesh Routers in the CellView system the Engineer must: x Setup the Mesh Routers correctly following the instructions in the chapters on Network Planning and Mesh Router Configuration. x Determine the Mesh Routers AP Radio ID, either from the delivery information for each Mesh Router or from on the front decal of the Mesh router. Alternatively, if this information is not accessible follow the AP Radio identification information in the Mesh Router manual. x Build the provisioning file string x Run the CellView application and upload the provisioning information. This can be completed in one pass rather than provisioning each individual router.
Chapter 6 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 55 The following parameters must be defined in the provisioning file for error free provisioning:
Chapter 6 56 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 Example provisioning file CSV lines: AP Radio apRadio,512,3,600,1 MeshRouter AccessPoint,192.168.1.80,1,MeshRouter-180,1800,2,100,5,10,100,600,44444 Provisioning Considerations Particular attention should be paid to the following fields as they can not be modified in OPC or the CellView setup application once the Mesh Router and its associated Access Point radio have been provisioned. Access Point Radio ID Mesh Router IP Address The following fields may be modified in the CellView Setup application after the Mesh Router and Access Point radio have been provisioned Mesh Router OPC Name

If more than 5 groups are required then they must be set up in the provisioning file using the format specified. If Cell Monitors are provisioned but a Cell Monitor group is not provisioned then all sensors will be allocated to the default Cell Monitor group with default configuration values. The following fields can be modified in the CellView Setup application after the Mesh Router and Access Point radio have been provisioned Cell Monitor OPC Name Cell Monitor ID

Chapter 7 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 62 CellView Setup Application Apart from the OPC client interface, it is possible to interact with the CVM server using an application called CellView Setup. This application runs under Windows XP and on Windows CE PDA devices. The PDA configuration chapter made reference to this application. There are functionality differences between the CellView setup application for the CellView server and the CellView PDA. Common The application requires a number of configuration parameters. These are supplied by a configuration file called ³cvm.conf´, found in the same directory as the application. This configuration file does not need to be manually edited as all configuration settings can be applied via the application. When the application starts, it attempts to connect to the CVM server. The details for doing this are contained in the configuration file. If the configuration file does not contain the necessary information for accessing the server, the user will be prompted to enter them.

Chapter 9 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 74 Cell Monitor Installation DISCLAIMER CellView is a product which is under continual development and, as such, the product and all documentation referring to the product is subject to change without notice. The mounting method described in this document has been based on mounting to typical vinyl ester resin based polymer concrete cells. Notwithstanding the information provided in this document MIPAC does not accept any responsibility Selecting Cell Monitor Locations The Cell Monitors have been robustly designed and built to withstand chemical and mechanical damage however, in the interests of maximising their working life and minimising maintenance issues, Cell Monitors should be positioned to meet the following requirements: x WRDFKLHYHµOLQHRIVLWH¶FRQWDFWZLWK0HVK5RXWHUV x to avoid high traffic areas x to avoid clashing with plant equipment such as the crane bale x to ensure that the battery lid is accessible and battery can be removed x to ensure that CellLink connection leads can be installed and removed without difficulty Mounting Procedures The Cell Monitor Base Plate must be securely mounted on the cell in the chosen location. This can be achieved by using bolts or adhesives. In either case do not install the Cell Monitor in its Base Plate until the Base Plate is securely fitted to the cell. Adhesive Mounting :KHUHDGKHVLYHPRXQWLQJLVFKRVHQWKHµERQGLQJVXUIDFHV¶UHIHUUHGWREHORZDUH x The Cell Monitor Base Plate - flat underside x The Designated Cell Monitor mounting area on polymer concrete cell Do not install Cell Monitor on its Base Plate until adhesives are fully cured in accordance with local conditions and materials used. x Lightly sand bonding surfaces with 100 grit sand paper to remove any wax, dirt or glossy surface that would make adhesion difficult x Paint a thin layer of chemical resistant grade PVC cleaner on both bonding surfaces. Allow PVC cleaner to evaporate.
Chapter 9 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 75 x Apply a thin but complete layer of adhesive to both bonding surfaces and press together. x Support Cell Monitor Base Plate with tape for at least 30 minutes ensuring that the arrangement does not allow the Base Plate to shift during the adhesive curing time. x Leave for 24 hours before assembling Cell Monitor Bolt Mounting Where bolt mounting is the chosen method of securing the Cell Monitor Base Plate to the cell the following requirements must be met: x Procure suitable 316SS self-tapping non-counter sunk mounting screws with a head not larger than a standard metric M5 bolt x Procure polypropylene rawl plugs which suit both masonry drill size and intended hole depth Note - It is advisable to test the mounting setup before installation to ensure that screw heads do not come into contact with the underside of the Cell Monitor in such a way that may prevent the Monitor from properly locating in the Base Plate. x Mark the position using the most suitable four screw holes in the Cell Monitor Base Plate. Keep all mounting holes a minimum of 50mm from any edge of the polymer concrete cell. x Use a 5mm masonry drill bit to drill the holes to a maximum depth of 20mm. x After holes are drilled and cleaned of grit, prepare a small quantity of Gel Coat and apply to the drilled holes, ensuring that the entire exposed internal surface is thoroughly coated. x Immediately install a polypropylene rawl plugs to suit 5mm masonry drill into mounting holes. x Immediately bolt the Base Plate into position by screwing the 4 self-tapping screws into the rawl plugs x Leave for 24 hours before mounting the Cell Monitor in the Base plate Material Considerations Both the Adhesive and the Coating Resin technologies have been designed to bond the Cell Monitor Base Plate cPVC material to the vinyl ester resin-based polymer concrete cells . Similarly the mounting techniques covered in this document are suitable for an electrolyte solution having the following chemical makeup: Typical Electrolyte Composition, conc (g/L) Cu 42 to 52 H2SO4 160 to 200 Cl- 0.035 to 0.045 Ni 12 As 12 Fe 2 Sb 0.2 Bi 0.2 If the chemical makeup of the electrolyte differs from the above or the process involves exposure to other chemicals the mounting methods covered in this document may not be suitable.
Chapter 9 76 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 Where the Cell Monitor and its Base Plate may be exposed to chemicals other than as listed above it is the responsibility of the installation contractor to determine whether the mounting method described within this document is suitable. Adhesive The adhesive for bonding the Cell Monitor Base Plate to the Cells is a three-part mixture: Component Chemical / Brand Quantities Laminating Resin Hetron 922 or equivalent 19% Thixotropic Agent Fumed Silica 79% Catalyst Methylethylketoneperoxide (MEKP) 2% To create the adhesive: x Mix thoroughly one part Laminating Resin to four parts Thixotropic Agent to make a putty. x Mix thoroughly one part Catalyst to fifty parts Putty to make the adhesive. Putty can be made several days prior to application and kept sealed in a cool area ~25°C. Once putty is mixed with catalyst to make the adhesive it must be applied to bonding surfaces within 10 minutes. It is recommended that small wax coated drinking cups are used to mix small quantities of the putty and catalyst. Gel Coat The Gel Coat is used as an additional protective coating on the polymer concrete cells. The polymer concrete cell is made of a mix of silica and vinyl ester resin which is resistant to sulphuric acid chemical attack. The gel coat layer creates a non porous sealing barrier and stops the electrolyte from weakening the cell structure over time. The specific components of the Gell Coat are as follows: Component Chemical/ Brand Quantities Laminating Resin Hetron 922 or equivalent 98% Catalyst Methylethylketoneperoxide (MEKP) 2% To mix the gel coat: x Mix thouroughly one part catalyst to fifty parts laminating resin. Gel Coat must be applied to rawl plugs and surfaces within 10 minutes. cPVC Cleaner Prior to application of adhesive to the cPVC Cell Monitor base plate it must be cleaned with a suitable cPVC (PVC) cleaner (priming or etching agent). The cleaner cleans the cPVC surface of any impurities and leaves it in an optimal state to bond with the adhesive.
Chapter 9 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 77 Purchasing Considerations Laminating Resin, Catalyst and PVC Cleaner DUHFODVVHGDVµ)ODPPDEOH*RRGV´DQGLWLVrecommended that these be purchased locally from a Fibre Reinforced Polymer supplier. The Thixotropic Agent can be bought directly from CTI-Unicell. The shelf life for all components is less 3 months. It is the responsibility of the persons responsible for the installation to ensure that all components are identical to those shown in the tables above. If alternatives are used the persons responsible should ensure that they meet all chemical requirements.
Chapter 10 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 78 Mesh Router Installation General The Mesh Routers are devices which communicate between the Cell Monitors in the refinery and the CellView Server and the operator interface in the control room. For further information see the Nexis documentation. Mesh Router Installation requirements Ensure that Mesh Router installation locations provide good wireless coverage of the refinery. Also ensure that the locations are evenly spaced and Cell Monitors have two Mesh Routers within 50 meters of their location. Refinery Mesh Router Layout The Mesh Routers are typically mounted upright so that the power and Ethernet leads trail vertically, however horizontal or other mounting angles are acceptable. Try to avoid obstructing the antennas as this may reduce the range of the Mesh Routers. For optimal operation it is best to have clear line of site between the Mesh Router and the Cell Monitors.
Chapter 10 System Engineering Manual for CellView© V1.00 79 Mesh Router Power Cable Installation The Mesh Router requires a single 24VDC power connection that is capable of supplying 6 watts. Ensure that the cables are shielded and that the cable runs are not excessively long. It is best to install an inline 1 Amp fuse and circuit breaker to protect the Mesh Router. The circuit breaker will also enable the power-down of routers for maintenance if required. Terminate the 24 V DC power cables to the Mesh Routers using the supplied Harting power Plugs observing the correct polarity ± Positive to terminal 1 and Negative to terminal 2 Harting connector showing correct installation Red cable is Positive Black cable is Negative Mesh Router Network Cable Installation Install a shielded Cat 5e data cable from the CellView switch to a Mesh Router setup as an Ethernet router. Ensure that the Cat 5e data cable shield is only terminated at one end of the cable. Follow the instructions overleaf to properly assemble the RJ field connector to ensure that the router is sufficiently protected from the environment. When mating the RJ field connector to the male connector on the Mesh Router ensure that the collar positively clicks into place and that the connector is secure.
