New Gear PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE MONITORING SYSTEM 4B Components Ltd. has released the all-new fourth generation Watchdog con-trol unit for preventative maintenance monitoring of bucket elevators and con-veyors. The Watchdog Super Elite (WDC4) is easy to install and simple to set up. The system processes signals from up to 27 sensors for belt slip, belt misalignment, bearing temperature, pulley misalignment and plug conditions on bucket elevators and conveyors. When an alarm condition is detected the system will log the details, sound an alarm and provide shutdown control of the elevator/conveyor and feeding system. A new 3.5” colour graphic LCD screen dis-plays the entire system status at a glance. The WDC4 model now supports belt speed monitoring for variable frequency drives (VFD’s), and belt misalignment inputs for contact, pulse and temperature (brass rub block) sensors. The WDC4 also has jog and acceleration monitoring for detecting any equipment issues during the startup sequence. The controller settings are password protected, and can be set up either directly on the LCD screen, or by a free PC software application and transferred to the WDC4 via an SD card. The Watchdog Super Elite can be connected directly to a PLC using Modbus TCP/IP (standard) or Ethernet/ IP protocols. It can also be integrated into HazardMon.com, a secure cloud based solution that provides live system status, graphs and historical data that is viewable on any web-enabled device (smartphone, tablet, desktop PC). The Watchdog System is Class II dust hazard area approved by CSA/NRTL for use in Canada and the U.S. www.go4b.com/watchdog CONVEYOR BELT CLEANER The Martin QB1 Cleaner HD can be retro-fitted onto any existing Martin Engineering tensioners, as well as most competitive sys-tems.
