The Quality Solution

ARC Vital: Simplicity and Quality



4 – 20 mA current loop

ARC Vital. Whether you’re in search of a breakthrough pharmaceutical

treatment or producing a world-famous beer, the pressure to make it all

happen reliably and cost-effectively rests squarely on your shoulders.

You know what works and you’re not interested in fixing a system that isn’t

broken. You need cost-effective solutions for your analog PLC that

provide superior data integrity, increased productivity and longer life

cycles.

The Quality SolutionMore than simply sensors, ARC Sensors are the complete solution: innovative, premium quality sensors with a robust, direct, and standard interface to the PLC.


ARC sensors make transmitters redundant

Classic sensors produce weak, temperamental

signals that require an expensive transmitter to amplify

the signal before connecting to the Process Control

System.

With ARC Vital, no transmitter is required. You can

connect the robust 4-20mA signal directly from the sensor

head to the process control system. This mean you’ll

never have to buy another expensive transmitter, it also

eliminates critical points of failure by doing away with the

environmentally-sensitive signal typically output by classic

sensors and minimizing compatibility issues.

What makes ARC Sensors more than simply sensors is their built-in direct connectivity.

ARC Vital delivers cost-savings today and optimizes your analog system by providing superior data integrity and delivering a robust, direct communication interface.

The true power of the HAMILTON ARC family is that each ARC solution is built from the same powerful product line, including the ARC Sensors and the ARC View monitor. This means the HAMILTON ARC solution you choose can be customized to fit your needs perfectly.


The Power of Multiple Connectivity

ARC Versa: Multiple Connectivity


ARC Versa: Sensor with two InterFaces

As with all HAMILTON ARC solutions, ARC

Vision has been designed with the clear understanding that the

integrity of your process depends on the integrity of the sensor

data delivered from the line.

From the SINGLE PORE, “never clog” diaphragm of our pH

sensors, to the robust, easy-to-replace, solid Sensor Cap of

our optical dissolved oxygen sensors, to the patented

conductivity standards used to calibrate our conductivity

sensors, HAMILTON innovations are designed optimize

operations by delivering superior data integrity and streamlined

maintenance.

ARC Sensors are the premium sensor

solution that connects directly to your analog

PLC while delivering the power of digital

sensor management.

ARC Versa: Striking the Balance

ARC Versa. Your goal is to optimize your process control systems to

consistently and cost-effectively deliver the highest quality results.

You’re challenged with striking the balance between getting the most from

older analog systems while leveraging the advantages of the latest online

wireless sensor management technology.

The Power of Multiple ConnectivityARC Sensors include multiple

connectivity options, both

analog and digital, for robust

and efficient integration.



Direct analog connectivity means you’ll never again have to buy another

expensive transmitter or struggle with a weak, temperamental signal from a sensor.

With ARC Sensors, no transmitter is required. You can simplify and boost your

system by connecting the robust, 4‑20mA signal directly from the sensor head to the

process control system.

And that’s just the beginning – direct

digital connectivity from the sensor

head opens up a new and powerful

world of digital sensor management

that will propel your operation to new

levels of efficiency and profitability.


As with all HAMILTON ARC solutions, with the wireless version

of the ARC View communicator onsite personnel have the ability to stay

mobile as they monitor and manage sensors.

This allows them to stay on top of

sensor management no matter where

they are in the plant.

ARC Versa: Mobile Sensor Management


ARC Versa: System Components

The ARC View Handheld brings digital sensor

management to your system as it optimizes online calibration

and maintenance.

The ability to store calibration data is just one of the many

advantages of digital sensor management. The intelligence built

into every ARC Sensor means:

• Each sensor has a unique digital identity.• Sensor history is downloadable for off-line analysis.• Sensors continuously communicate clear status info

regarding errors, sensing quality, alarms, calibration requests, etc., resulting in more precise formulations.

• Sensors’ true “health” clearly communicated at all times, resulting in less maintenance, increased process accuracy, and longer sensor lifetimes.

• Process downtime minimized because non-specialized team members can replace sensors.

ARC Vision: Cutting-edge Technology

ARC Vision. You appreciate how state-of-the-art technology can energize and empower

employees to deliver top performances.

However, you’re responsible for the bottom line, so you must get the most out of existing

technology as you integrate the latest innovations to optimize operations.


ARC Vision: Power of Networking

The robust digital technology in ARC Vision allows the creation of

both wired and wireless sensor networks. Sensor networks hold many of the

same advantages of computer networks. Sensors may be configured and

managed in groups.

Additionally, with ARC Sensors’ plug-

and-play ability, each sensor is an active

element in the network… when one

sensor is exchanged, the system will

immediately recognize the new sensor’s

different ID. This reduces human error

and increases safety.
