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).

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.

2.4.10 SETTING OF PREDICTIVE ALGORITHM FOR PARTICLE COUNTING

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:

ActualMinute Weigth (% ) 0Minute36


ClassLimit
AP =
36

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.

Class B 0,5 e 5,0 m


For class B sensors is employed the algorithm described for class A sensors.
