Control your compressed air costs!
GD – Your Smart Partner to Save Energy and Money
CO2 Reduction
Efficient Controller Systems
Prosperous Business OpportunitiesGD Air Compressors –
The Perfect Fit!
Today: Low energy costs & low emissions are a must
Customers are investing in more and more energy saving equipment. Customers are investing in more and more energy saving equipment.
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 %.
Why do we make
more energy efficient compressor and controllers?

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
Visualisation: How it works
•
To view the visualisation on your internet browser you will need to download adobe flash player http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer
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 company’s LAN network via a standard network cable Remote access is available via a VPN connection
