 The Next Generation in Baghouse Control: Afforda
The PLC-based PulsePro EC offers a
level of control, monitoring, and ex-
pansion capabilities unavailable in its
price range until now. Only PulsePro
EC provides all this in one package:
• Graphical, password protected
touchscreen interface makes moni-
toring, navigation, and input simple
and intuitive.
• Multiple baghouses can be moni-
tored from one PulsePro EC panel,
providing tremendous savings
compared to dedicated controls.
• Use of Profibus networking pro-
vides further savings on wiring
costs.
• Ability to remotely monitor bag-
house status and change setpoints
securely from any computer on the
internet through its ethernet port.
Description
The PulsePro EC seamlessly inte-
grates four important functions into a
single, easy-to-use PLC:
• Pulse-jet cleaning
• Leak detection
• Baghouse monitoring/ diagnostics
• Trending
Cleaning. You can choose between
intelligent or conventional (timer)
cleaning modes. Intelligent cleaning
uses differential pressure to deter-
mine pulse timing, maintaining con-
stant DP across the filter bags. Unlike
common mechanical photohelical
gauges, PulsePro EC pressure sensing
is solid state. Our optional Non-clog-
ging Differential Pressure Transmitter
eliminates clogging problems and
assures maintenance-free pressure
regulation.
Leak Detection. Leaks are detected
well before emissions are visible, and
without tuning or baseline reference.
Unlike other suppliers, we offer
probes using either induction-sensing
or triboelectric technologies, depend-
ing on which provides the best reli-
ability for the application. Leaks can

be located by row with the addition
of our Instant Leak Locating System.
Baghouse Monitoring/ Diagnos-
tics. The PulsePro EC continuously
checks for failed diaphragm and
solenoid valves, allowing quick reso-
lution of these common problems and
considerable savings.
Options available include monitoring
and display of:
• Hopper level
• Air flow
• Fan amps
• Temperature
• Pulse-jet supply pressure
• Others as needed
Trending. The PulsePro EC can
record values from selected sensors
over time and plot them for viewing
either individually or collectively.
This valuable information can give
you early warning of a developing
problem, or help determine the cause
of an alarm condition.
Example — the stack particulate rises
to a high level, causing an alarm con-
dition. By viewing the side-by-side
trending screen, you may find that the
increase was caused by a momentary
upset in the air flow, as shown in the
Trending screen shot below left.
Trending data is stored on removable
MMC (Multimedia) flash memory
cards and can optionally be exported
to a Microsoft Excel file for long
term storage.
Benefits
The PulsePro EC’s many capabilities
offer valuable benefits that not only
contribute to optimal baghouse opera-
tion, but also to your bottom line:
• Easy to use graphical interface
with touch screen makes operation
intuitive.
• High level of automated monitor-
ing saves cost of manual inspec-
tions for leaks and valve failures.
• Avoids costly compressed air use
due to undetected valve leaks.
• Reduces cost of unplanned shut-
downs through early detection of
problems.
• Optimized baghouse operation
improves filtration performance,
increases bag life, and reduces
operating costs.
• Integration of control and sensing,
along with Profibus communica-
tions lowers installation costs.
• All baghouses can be controlled
and monitored from one location.
• Ensures compliance with EPA
CAM, MACT, Title V, and PM 2.5.

The PulsePro EC can provide control and monitoring for multiple baghouses and optionally connect with other PCs via Ethernet and
internet, yet it costs no more than baghouse controls without these capabilities.

Other Control/Monitoring Products
MikroPulseTM 100T Pulse Timing Controller
Simple digital continuous cleaning pulse timer with two setpoints:
• On-time between 50 and 150 milliseconds
• Off-time between 3 and 60 seconds
Units can be provided with terminals for wiring one to five solenoids/output.

MikroPulseTM 100P Clean-On-Demand Controller

PLC-based controller triggers cleaning pulses when the differential pressure across
the bag reaches the setpoint selected by the user.
• In most cases, uses considerably less compressed air than timed pulses
• Lengthens bag life due to fewer pulses
• Setpoints are set with push buttons instead of potentiometers
• Utilizes a 0-10" DP transmitter for precise cleaning
• Standard NEMA 4 enclosure; hazardous service enclosure available

MikroPulseTM 200EC Expandable Timer/DP Controller

PLC-based controller provides timed or DP determined pulse control (chosen at pur-
chase) but can be upgraded in steps to a full PulseProTM EC control and monitoring
system. Upgrade packages include:
• Header pressure package, including diaphragm valve diagnostics
• Solenoid valve diagnostics package
• Bag leak detection package
• Interface upgrade with 6" touch screen
• Trending package (requires touch screen)
• Other packages available based on customer needs

Mikro-ChargeTM 200L Leak Gauge

PLC-based monitoring system determines when a bag leak is present.
• Easy setting of alarm setpoints via push buttons
• No need for baseline data or signal tuning
• Alarm light flashes when setpoint is reached
• Automatic zero self check (zero and span)
• Probe can be triboelectric or induction sensing
• Built-in analog output for remote alarm notification
