Prosperous Business
Opportunities

Today: Low energy costs & low emissions are a must


Why do we make
more energy efficient compressor and controllers?
Facts aprox 70% of electrical energy is used in Industry
According to Industry figures 10% of all energy used in
industry is used to produce compressed air.
By using a controller to run the system more efficiently it is
estimated that most systems can reduce there energy
consumption on compressed air plants by around 25 %.

Visualisation via web server module


Benefits of visualisation
SAM visualisation allows the
user to connect to the SAM via a
dedicated web server
The user via a PC can visualise
selected data for a compressor
system which can be viewed on
the screen of the SAM
No actual compressor settings
can be adjusted or controlled via
the visualisation package

Visualisation via web server module


Scope of supply
1 x Web server module
1 x RS485 connection cable 1 mtr
1 x Ethernet cable 3 mtr
Set of cable glands
SD Card 2 GB
Web server module available in
230 V/50-60Hz or 110 V/50-60Hz

30

gdcompressors.eu@gardnerdenver.com

Visualisation: How it works


1. The web server module connects direct to the
SAM via a RS485 port with a maximum cable
length of 1200 mtrs
2. The web server module is then given an IP
address and can be accessed by anyone with
permission on the network using a standard
internet browser
3. Users connect into the companys LAN network
via a standard network cable Remote
access is available via a VPN connection
