[labnetwork] LonWorks hardware availalbility

[Dennis Schweiger]

Good afternoon all,

with the replacement of our LonWorks based gas detection system, we have a
variety of Lon devices that we no longer have a use for, but they're too
good to just toss into the trash can.  Since I don't want to turn this into
a For Sale message, if you're interested, please contact me directly, and
I'll be happy to provide a list of devices we have.  All of them are based
on the MST technology.

Just as an FYI, our reason for replacement was that our facility had gotten
too complex for the way we were using the Lon system, and we were looking
for something with a more seamless integration at the GUI interface.  Our
upgrade also allowed us to change out some of the electrochemical
technology we were using to something more user friendly.  The upgrade also
provided a way for us to "clean up" the legacy issues in regard to manual
pushbutton placement, naming conventions, and overall removal of old
technology.  We only have about a month on the new system, but so far, it's
been quite impressive.  Currently, we're at about 165 points of gas
detection for just the LNF fab.  In addition, we're looking at about two
dozen analog signals where we're monitoring pH, liquid levels, or flow
rates.  Our long term goal is to use this new system as a campus wide
monitoring system for a variety of other labs, all integrated into one gas
detection, and monitoring, umbrella.

Thank you,
