Point-Specific Concentration Data in FacilityNet via OPC for an AirSentry® II Monitor
Integrating Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC) data into a facility monitoring system improves visibility, accessibility, and response to contamination events. This paper explains how to configure point-specific AMC concentration data from the AirSentry® II AMC Multipoint Monitoring System for use within FacilityNet, enabling enhanced visualization, automated notifications, and broader access to contamination data across manufacturing networks.
Extending AMC Data Beyond SCADA
Poin
t-specific AMC concentration data is a valuable source of information for contamination control programs. While this data is available within the AirSentry II system, integrating it into FacilityNet software enables operators to take advantage of additional monitoring, visualization, and notification capabilities.
Centralizing Monitoring and Notifications
Once configured within FacilityNet, AMC concentration tags can be incorporated into dashboards, status indicators, graphical displays, and automated alert workflows. User-defined notification limits help ensure that contamination events are identified quickly and routed to the appropriate personnel for action.
Supporting Enterprise-Wide Data Access
The configured tags can also be made available through the FacilityNet OPC Server, allowing AMC data to be accessed by other OPC-compatible software throughout the manufacturing network. This creates new opportunities for centralized monitoring, data sharing, and system integration across contamination control and facility management platforms.
