For instrumentation engineers and technicians, few things are more disruptive than an unexpected shutdown. When that call comes in, production halts, deadlines are at risk, and all eyes turn to the controls team for answers—and fast.
Today’s industrial plants are complex, integrated systems of machinery and control instrumentation. To get back online quickly, engineers need more than just reliability—they need real-time information that can tell the full story of what went wrong and why.
That’s where United Electric’s ONE Series Smart Switch comes in. Unlike traditional mechanical temperature and pressure switches, the ONE Series offers a cost-effective, configurable solution designed for today’s field environments. With a significantly higher MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), these electronic switches provide not only performance—but insights.
Information Is Power
When investigating a shutdown or abnormal event, it’s often not about what failed—but why. Did a water hammer occur? Was there a sudden vacuum? A rapid temperature drop? The ONE Series allows technicians to track minimum and maximum process values and trip counts—details that often reveal process instability or mechanical issues like cavitation.
These insights are critical for maximizing uptime and extending production cycles. Whether it’s worn piping, a faulty pump, or a bypass line set incorrectly, having visibility into event history and switch behavior can help teams isolate and resolve problems faster.
Built for Field Warriors
UE’s ONE Series includes powerful diagnostic features:
- Set point variation and latching to isolate elusive issues
- Plug port mode to help service teams avoid setup errors
- IAW Monitor (“I Am Working”)—an exclusive feature providing live switch health status to your PLC
With these capabilities, UE’s ONE Series isn’t just a smarter switch—it’s a smarter investment in plant productivity.
