Matrikon Launches Control Performance Monitor 5.1

Edmonton, AB (PRWEB) October 20, 2007 -- Matrikon?, the world's leader in managing plant data for operational excellence in the process industries, is pleased to announce the release of Matrikon Control Performance Monitor (previously known as ProcessDoctor) version 5.1, a software tool to analyze control asset performance in a real time fashion. Control assets such as PID loops, advanced control applications and analyzers can be continuously monitored and diagnosed with Matrikon's CPM technology.

Matrikon Control Performance Monitor 5.1 takes control monitoring technology to the next level allowing users to easily configure metrics and reports. These reports clearly pinpoint the automation and process controls that are not operating to their potential as well as providing detailed drill down analysis on the root cause of the performance degradation. The ability to do this all from historical data ensures that plants can easily be benchmarked against their own goals or other facilities, without any need for plant testing. The flexible plant hierarchy views, treemap visualization technology and plant composite rollups ensures that all automation performance metrics can be easily tracked for a single operating unit, a plant or an entire organization.

Matrikon Control Performance Monitor 5.1 enables operations, engineering, and maintenance personnel to manage the performance of plant control assets in an effective way, by integrating the tool into their daily workflow, often reducing the maintenance time for the support of automation assets by up to 90%.

Motion Sensor Home Security Cameras
Many security cameras do not record well in the dark. This implies that a slinky presence can get away with any deed as long as the dark provides a shield. This is where a security camera with motion sensor comes in. The motion sensor triggers an automatic response as soon as it picks up a movement in its vicinity. Some of these cameras come equipped with floodlights that power up as soon as a motion is registered, flooding the area with light and catching the culprit in the act. This is further enhanced by the fact that a security camera with motion sensor often offers a connection to a TV or computer monitor. As soon as the sensor is triggered, images of the perimeter can be captured immediately.
