  1. Searching for Higher Ground: Unveiling NeSSI* Gen. II *New Sampling/Sensor Initiative IFPAC - San Diego, CA, USA - Jan. 23, 2002 Rob Dubois - Peter van Vuuren - Jim Tatera . Tatera and Associates “the best way to predict the future is to create it”

  2. What is NeSSI? - Activities in 2001... • An ad hoc global industry initiative, formed June, 2000 to drive permanent change in how we do Process Analytical. • Sponsored by theCenter for Process Analytical Chemistry(CPAC) • 2001 Activities… • Focus Groups: Pittcon, ISA, IFPAC, CPAC • Tutorials: ISA-Houston, INTERMAC-Tokyo • Special Teams: X-Team

  3. NeSSI Objectives • Facilitate the acceptance/implementation of... • modular, miniature & smart sample system technology • based on ISA SP76 standard substrate (aka footprint) • Promote the concept of... • field-mounted smart sampling/analytical systems • sample system integration with miniature physical sensors • Lay the groundwork for... • open connectivity architecture for sensor communications (e.g. CANbus, Ethernet, etc.) • industry standard communication protocols (e.g. OPC, etc.) • Provide a technology bridge to the process for... • “sensor/lab-on-a-chip” micro-analytical devices

  4. The drivers for change... • Reduce Cost to Build • Design and Engineering • Manufacturing and Installation • Reduce Cost of Ownership • Design Standardization • Simpler, less expensive maintenance • Enhance Reliability • Validate sample, data, communication

  5. So Where In the World Are We? Market Acceptance Lower Cost Ease of Design System Reliability • What’s going on in the world? • Fast networks; robust electronics • Lab-on-a-chip; lasers; wireless • What does the Market Need? • Reliable, rugged, fast analysis • What are the Critical Issues? • Acceptability by Process Analy. • Technical challenges • Reasonable Cost NeSSI Analyzer House On the Post Time

  6. NeSSI Generation I • mechanical, passive components on an ISA SP76 standard substrate (SEMI roots) • Manufacturers… • Parker-Hannifin • Autoflow • CIRCOR • Kinetics • Swagelok Courtesy of Swagelok

  7. NeSSI Generation I • Generation I - Industry Trends… • End Users desire the conversion of today’s proprietary stand-alone modules into a SP76 compliant configuration. (e.g. G.C. block & bleed, bypass loop & filtration, vent control, validation modules, etc.) • There will be a continual introduction of more components as End Users and Manufacturers embrace SP76.

  8. Introducing the NeSSI Gen. II Specification "When men got structural steel, they did not use it to build steel copies of wooden bridges." Ayn Rand. Atlas Shrugged. 1957.

  9. NeSSI Generation II • “Electrified” with diagnostic sensors • Integral substrate heating & temp. control • Sensor & actuator serial communication • Electrical components integrated with the SAM (Sensor Analytical Manager) • Smart (self-diagnostic)

  10. Gen II - A Global, Hazardous Package Div/Zone 1 GP. A-D, T4 Heaters: - Substrate & Enclosure - IEC Ex d by Design NEMA 4 & IP56 Rated Enclosure - insulated AC Power Sensors - Flow, Pressure, Temp. Encapsulated (IEC Ex m) Intrinsically Safe Bus (IEC Ex i) Under review by multi-functional X-team AC Power

  11. Gen. II “The Future is Friendly” - Intrinsically Safe electrical sensors and bus allow “hot” Plug & Play capabilities - NO GAS “SNIFF” PERMIT REQ. FOR MAINTENANCE - Typ. No Purge or Pressurization - Low utility req. - No need to S/D for maintenance (X-purge) General Enclosure; no costly X-proof bolting or flame-proof enclosure AC Power AC Power Flexible All-Climate Operation

  12. V T P A Gen. II - Serial Bus - “Au Revoir 4-20 mA?” • Flashable CANbus • DeviceNet, SDS, etc. • Engineering units on board sensors • Reduces wiring load • Eliminates I/O • Rugged, low cost (tiny) chip
