flow control platform

We understand that system development extends beyond the hardware itself. To help you fine-tune and optimize specialized automation processes, we’ve developed the Convergence Flow Control Platform.

Our systems come with preconfigured software, ready to use right out of the box, ensuring seamless integration and immediate operation.

key benefits

  • Integrated monitoring and system control.
  • Automate experiments and tests using a straightforward visual scripting language.
  • Real-time analysis using calculations on measured data.
  • Generate reports and log test data for later analysis using third party tools.

increase productivity.

  • Save time by focusing on process optimization rather than managing hardware controls.
  • Researchers and system developers can adjust system configurations, while operators can be limited to basic system controls.
  • Modify the monitoring and control dashboard to suit your specific operational needs

flowsheet.

The flowsheet visualization offers an overview of the system. It delivers a real-time display of essential process equipment and components, including pumps, valves, and transmitters (sensors) for flow, temperature, and pressure. The status of each element is continuously updated in real time, and can be controlled manually if desired.

program builder.

The program builder interface provides a straightforward way to design custom experiments. You can adjust system parameters using standard mathematical operators, and entire programs are created by arranging multiple blocks in a simple drag-and-drop graphical format. The built-in FCP language includes commands like wait, set, and while, making it easy to learn and use.

For advanced users, full JavaScript functionality is available for deeper customization, though most users will find the standard blocks sufficient to meet their needs. Programs can also be saved for effortless preparation, storage, and reloading of multiple experiments.

dashboard.

The dashboard view acts as your central control hub, where you can start and monitor your programs (experiments). You can create custom graphs to display the most relevant data for your experiment, and dashboard views can be saved for easy access in future sessions.

real time analysis.

A standout feature of our Flow Control Platform is the real-time data analysis toolbox. Data collected during experiments can be used to perform on-the-fly calculations, such as determining the bubble point pressure of a membrane. Users have the flexibility to create custom calculations, with the results plotted as shown to the right.
