1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
FacilityPro is a centralized vacuum system that allow a parallel and/or sequential sampling
over pneumatic lines that are connected to every BioCapt or particle counter AirNet /
AirNet II / MicroCapt / IsoAirPlus located in the chosen points for the biologic and/or particle
monitoring. The configurability of FacilityPro allows to program any series/parallel
sampling sequence making the acquisition system very flexible to meet sampling needs.
The main features of 'FacilityPro are:
Allow the configuration of the monitoring system, through the use of the touch screen,
saving the configuration settings.
Communicating with a serial communication versus the devices using the Modbus RTU
protocol.
Develop the core logic of the system
Communicate with one or more SCADA stations through Ethernet port using the OPC
(OLE for Process Control).
2 SYSTEM START
At Start-up FacilityPro shows a window similar to the following:
Upper part of the windows shows date, time, logo and software version.
Under these information you can find:
Last calibration date:
System Serial number
System ID that encodes univocally the system hardware.
Scada n life beat alarm : indicates communication status with SCADA Server
(max 2)
System State:

TRS and RCV: indicates the communication activity through RS485 between
Electronic Module and acquisition peripheral modules.
In central part of the window, during start-up, is created an information panel related to each
pneumatic module installed with the FacilityPro (from 1 to 4). This information pane
summarizes information relative to the referenced module.

From Service menu touching the button Sampling management the following page will be
shown:
In the frame Available recipes select the desired recipe and touch the button Start new
sampling.
The FacilityPro will perform automatically the following steps:
Starting Tests for initial system control
Start sampling
2.4.2 ABORT OF A RUNNING RECIPE
In the frame Running samplings select a recipe to stop and touch the button Abort selected
sampling.
Il system will stop the selected sampling recipe.
In the frame Running samplings select the recipe you want to delete and touch the button
Delete selected sampling.
The system will delete the selected recipe from the list of programmed (delayed) recipe list.
From menu Service touch the button Channel configuration. The panel will show the
following page (settings may be different depending on module type)
2.4.1 Configuration Particle Channels (ETH)
The module includes the installation of sensors AirNet
Checking the box Installed referred to a sensor, is possible to configure the system with the
installed sensors.
Class
The system allows to give the working class to every single sensor. This is done by
selecting the class in the checklist beside the checkbox Installed.

From menu Service touch the button Modbus configuration. The following page will open:
This window shows a user interface for the control of the Modbus RTU communication (to any
module).
Statistics of communication errors are shown for every module on the top of the page. The big
box in the centre allow to have a complete log of the serial communication in order to have a
debug tool capable of logging data in case of module problems.
In order to optimize the serial communication is it possible a fine set of low level
communication parameters such as:
Silent interval: is the minimum interval time (measured in characters transmission time)
required between the transmission of a request and the reception of an answer.
Max Retry: is the total number of consecutive transmissions done for a frame in case of fail of
transmission.
Delay: is the minimum time (measured in ms) that is required between two frame transmissions.
Interval: is the minimum interval time (measured in ms) between two consecutive requests on a
single module.
Timeout: is the maximum time that should be waited for an answer on the bus before marking a
communication error for the slave.
If a direct RS485 port is used on the touch panel, additional settings are required:
TRS Hold: is the time (expressed in ms) for data transmission enable holding after the last byte
of the frame is transmitted.
RTS Enable: is the enable for Ready To Send pin used to switch the three state lines on a two
wire RS485 communication.
From menu Service touch the button System parameters. The following page will open:
Class A 5,0 m
Alarm limits are recalculated every minute, when a new cubic foot particle
concentration is acquired.
Limits calculus is based on the principle of attended particles (AP). This data can be
easily find as:
ClassLimit
AP = ActualMinute 0 Minute36
36
This formula is valid only for first 36 minutes of sampling that is the necessary time to
acquire a cubic meter. After this time fixed limits are assumed that can be set in the
SCADA in Particle limit editor tool.
Considering as 20 the class limit in case of Class A sensor, to obtain the limits of alarm
and alert following formulas are used.
Alarm Limit = 3,96 + 1,03 * AP (Alarm Limit must be <= 20)
Alert Limit = - 3,96 + 1,03 * AP (Alert Limit must be >= 0)
Class A 0,5 m
For the particle size of 0,5m for a class A sensor, alarm and alert limits are calculated
in the first 36 minutes of sampling with the following formula:
The additional factor Weight is intended to have more or less restriction on prediction.
All top limits of course remains fixed and cant be exceeded. After 36 minutes these
fixed limits are assumed that can be set in the SCADA in Particle limit editor tool.
From menu Service touch the button Hardware Test, the following window will appear:
Selecting a tab in the window you will be able to control any single module directly.
Here you can find the explanation of every label shown in the Biological module test window.
Channel n:
With ON/OFF buttons in the frame SME Coils its possible to Open/Close the
corresponding Line Valve.
With ON/OFF buttons in the frame SMP Coils its possible to Open/Close and put
in scan the corresponding Flow Valve.
Outlet Valve (VRb):
With ON/OFF buttons in the frame SME Coils its possible to drive the valve for the
re-establishment of atmospheric pressure in the manifold.
Inlet Valve (VE):
With ON/OFF buttons in the frame SME Coils its possible to drive the valve that
separates the manifold from the pump.
Pump n:
With ON/OFF buttons in the frame SME Coils its possible to turn on the pump
associated to the module.
Note:
In case of configuration of One central pump or Two central pumps the pump switch command
will be present only on Module 1 page.
In case of configuration of One pump for each module or Two pumps for each module the
pump switch command will be visible on every module page relative to its own pump.
In every tab a number of information related to selected sensor are given. Particular attention
should be paid on frame Commands. Here is possible to set data for sensor starting.
Clean Time (min): during this time the sensor is not sampling. Only pump is
driven in order to clean the vacuum line. All particle alarms are disabled during
this period.
Mode: is the sampling mode that can be choose for the sampling of sensor.
Available options are Continuous/Time/Volume.

Digital Outputs :
With ON/OFF buttons in the frame Digital Outputs its possible to switch on or off
every digital output associated to the Analog module.
Digital Inputs:
In the frame Digital Input are visualized the digital inputs associated to the Analog
module.
From Service menu touch the button Sealing Test. Following page will appear:
In this page its possible to activate a test to verify the sealing of vacuum system and of the
lines. A log will be shown in the central window.
Before starting lines test its necessary to verify that every line is closed on the acquisition
point. After that following operation can be performed:
Check the Lines Test box.
Check the box related to the channel you want to test.
Touch the button Start Tests.
The system start with a series of automatic tests to verify the sealing of lines in test.
