Remote control of single recycling and incineration plants

Remote control of single recycling and incineration plants

The conditions in the immediate vicinity of plants for waste incineration or raw material recovery often pose serious health risks. Nevertheless, the systems need to be monitored and controlled, but at a safe distance for the plant operator.

Black Box can assist you with the planning and implementation of a control for remote plants. Benefit from our extensive experience and comprehensive portfolio including special requirements for device integration and environmental conditions.

Solution approach:

KVM extenders giving full remote control to plant operators

KVM extenders facilitate the control of recycling and incineration plants over long distances. Plant operators receive an ergonomic workplace in a quiet, focused working atmosphere. To control and monitor remote systems, multiple HD video channels can be extended in real time together with the required peripheral signals. Depending on the distance between the system and the operator various technologies are available:

Short range KVM extensions over CATx cabling

• Suitable for in-house connections up to 100 metres
• Digital HD video for applications that demand high-quality graphics
• Analog VGA video to access computers with older EGA and VGA interfaces

Long range KVM extension over fibre cabling

• Immune to EMI/RFI interference emitted by machines
• Campus-wide extensions over one multimode or single-mode cable up to 10 kilometres
• Digital HD video for applications that demand high-quality graphics
• Analog video for computers with VGA-interfaces

KVM extension over TCP/IP

• Virtually unlimited distances within a Gigabit network
• Advanced compression technologies provide real-time control with an unaltered user experience.
• Scalable into a matrix switching system

Integrated KVM switching for the control of multiple plants

• Control multiple systems from a single operator console
• Desktop KVM switches operate seamless with KVM extenders
• 4Site flex KVM switches allow switching as well as simultaneous monitoring of four sources on a single screen.
• EC KVM extenders feature a software upgrade for the integration of matrix switching capabilities
