“Everyone needs a vision of success…”

NeSSI Vision of Success We are able to… –Design... –Assemble... –Configure......an analytical system on our workbench. Lego  Like Assembly –No special skills to assemble –plug and play/self-documenting Fully Automated

Some Activities Modular Substrate Orientation –4 systems being evaluated –Substrate Attribute List Generated Surface Mount Component Evaluation/Gap –(Plan is to identify and secure missing comp.) The NeSSI-box Gen III activities in Europe

Substrate Attributes (Gen I) Spec, Function, Cost, Design Config. Flexibility Parts count Unit price Materials of const. Weight Heating capability Configurator tool Integration capability Passivation Internet ordering Size constraints P, T specifications ANSI/ISA SP76 Orientation Backplate mounting Assembly tools Flow path marking Tagging/traceability Supplier attributes

Surface Mount Component Evaluation (Gen I) List of surface mount components tabulated Gaps identified & plan to fill Experimental test plan developed –Certain lab tests required –NeSSI-box platform for field tests Dow has a platform to evaluate components

Introducing POCA2 An extension of POCA1 (still alpha) Collect the weaknesses of POCA1 - correct Add the remaining Gen II features Minisensors –Miniaturize, make more robust, lower power Industrial X-proof SAM, add heat control Add PDA, node count

Gen II Commercialization and POCA John Mosher

DOE Submitted April 16 by Honeywell/U. Bonne on behalf of a user/supplier team assembled at CPAC If contract is awarded this will infuse considerable capital into the purchase of modular, miniature systems An omnibus “design” has been generated Covers NeSSI Gen II/III products Ulrich Bonne

Who in the *#! is ODVA?? ODVA = Open Devicenet Vendors Assoc. A means to provide an “open” platform for connecting transducers –analagous to SP76 on the mechanical side It is hugely important to get this Intrinsically Safe (IS) SIG to provide entry to 3rd party entries

Focus and topics this week Plan for ODVA for DeviceNet IS SIG (AM) –Rick Ales SwagelokRick Ales Swagelok SAM hardware and software (this PM) –John Mosher Honeywell

Focus and topics this week NeSSI Focus Groups –combiValve <2 mA/unit Vm = modulating & Vo = on/off –X-proof substrate heating techniques –intrinsic safety issues –surface mount (GenI) component list –generation III analytical product wish list –Gen II specification feedback
