INDUSTRY:
Water treatment
FOCUS:
The main challenge was to automate the control of a large number of pumps, filters, and treatment devices while maintaining high standards of water quality and reliability.
OBJECTIVE:
The primary objective was to create a fully automated and integrated water treatment system that could efficiently manage and control all components, ensuring consistent water quality and operational efficiency.
SOLUTION:
- Siemens 1515-2 PN PLC
- Siemens ET200-SP distributed IO
- Siemens G120 frequency inverters
- Schneider protection devices
- Phoenix Contact IPC, switches
- Rittal VX enclosures
- Ignition SCADA
PROJECT DURATION:
6 months
THE PROJECT COMPRISED OF:
Electrical design:
- 1 * MCC panel – S7 1515-2 PN PLC, ET200-SP distributed IO, Siemens G120 frequency inverters, Schneider protection devices, Phoenix Contact IPC, switches, PS, etc.
- Bloc diagram of the entire automation system
Automation:
- The operating programs for the pumps, depending of the season;
- Adjustment loops for the automatic filling of the water tanks;
- Control of actuators for the water treatment systems when the process parameters require this and the monitoring of all water quality parameters.
- Control and integration of all other component in a fully automated system.
- Integration in SCADA
