SCADA Systems and PLC Programming

Supervisory control, real-time telemetry, historical process logging, and operator control panel visualization.

Human-Machine Interface Development

Designing a clear operator interface is essential for process control. HMI mimics are designed according to graphics standards. This allows operators to read instrumentation data and control equipment. HMI screen design is coordinated with process control systems implementation at the facility. High-contrast layouts and logical color coding help dispatchers respond quickly to warnings. The interface provides dedicated pages for diagnostics, loop tuning, and setpoint adjustments.

  • Developing graphic mimic diagrams for processes.
  • Configuring control buttons and inputs.
  • Setting up operator security access profiles.

Programmable Logic Controller Programming

PLC programming includes writing application software for control algorithms. The code defines logic relationships, start sequences, and safety blockings. Software design focuses on stable equipment operation. Programming is based on technical requirements of industrial automation. We implement safety interlocks that automatically shut down pumps if feed limits are reached. The application code is structured in blocks, making future troubleshooting and updates easier.

  • Developing PLC logic for process control loops.
  • Configuring PID regulation and filter blocks.
  • Setting up PLC input/output signal registers.

Process Data Collection and Archiving

Collecting process data is required for trend analysis and records. Database servers store historic parameters from field sensors. Archiving designs provide data storage. Cabinets for housing SCADA servers are assembled as part of control and automation cabinets production. Historic logs are essential for compliance reporting and identifying the root causes of issues. Redundant databases are configured to prevent data loss in case of a server crash.

  • Setting up servers for historic data collection.
  • Configuring databases for process trend logging.
  • Organizing data export to enterprise systems.

Alarm and Event Management

Alarm management alerts operators when process parameters exceed limits. Filtering algorithms classify alarms by priority, preventing operator overload during faults. After SCADA debugging, personnel familiarization programs are conducted for system operation. Audible sirens and flashing displays alert the control room team immediately when deviations occur. Reports are automatically compiled at the end of each shift.

  • Configuring process alarm and warning setpoints.
  • Setting up alarm priorities and screens.
  • Creating log archives for historical alarms.
