Automated process control system (APCS), control cabinets (MCC, PLC, TRU), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)

The rapid development of technology and the search for new solutions year by year allow to implement and improve automated process control systems in all areas of production.

The use of automated process control systems in production enables to increase the work efficiency due to the process flow optimization and to reduce production costs by decreasing the number of operating personnel and curtailment of manufacturing lead times.

ESE Rus LLC offers solutions in the design and implementation of industrial automated process control systems for plants ranged from the automated process control system (APCS) to the complex company automated control system (CCACS).

Designated areas:

  • Petrochemical productions 
  • Agro industrial complexes
  • Energy economies
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Ventilation
  • Pump houses

Automated process control system (APCS) has three levels:

LEVEL 1

Control level of the technologic processes (PCS7, SCADA, HMI, PC-stations):

Control level of the technologic processes at this stage of technological development may consist of one panel of the human-machine interface HMI to SCADA-system, collected on the basis of PC-stations.

Depending on the target, it can be a plain motor control from HMI-panel to the redundant system on several servers. Benefits of the implementation of such systems in the process control are obvious: a visual mnemonic image on the PC screen, the actual display of all remote processes, recording and archiving of the data, the ability to view history in the form of graphs or reports, display of accidents or malfunctions of the remote equipment, remote diagnostics. All this leads to a decrease in cases of operating equipment failures and repair man-hours. Early identification of small faults can prevent global equipment repair.

LEVEL 2

Process control level (PLC, HMI, Safety, Sentron, Sirius, Sinamics):

This level consists mainly of technical means arranged according to the set objectives. This may be control cabinets with PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), distribution cabinets, MCC cabinets, protection and run-up of engine cabinets. Combining of the technical means is possible in the process of solving of the set targets.

Example:

  1. APCS cabinet of the 2-nd elevation pumping plant
    Constituents: PLC, frequency converters, instrumentation sensors (pressure measurement before and after an installation), control facilities of shut-off valves, switching arrangements and power circuit-breakers, Ethernet central control unit for the connection to SCADA-system of an enterprise;
  2. ACS cabinet of indoor climate
    Constituents: PLC, instrumentation sensors, control facilities of shut-off valves, switching arrangements and power circuit-breakers, Profibus-module for the connection to SCADA-system;
  3. ACS cabinet of downhole pumps
    Constituents: PLC, frequency converters, instrumentation sensors (measurement of the water level in the tank), control facilities of shut-off valves, switching arrangements and power circuit-breakers, Modbus-card, HMI-panel;
  4. MCC cabinet
    Constituents: frequency converters, switching arrangements and power circuit-breakers, AS-expansion board for data transmission to the network of an industrial enterprise;
  5. ACS IHP (individual Heating Plant) cabinet
    Constituents: PLC with distributed peripheral modules, frequency converters, instrumentation sensors (pressure measurement before and after the network pumps), control facilities of shut-off valves, switching arrangements and power circuit-breakers, Ethernet central control unit for the connection to SCADA-system of an enterprise;
  6. Protection and run-up of engine cabinets 
    Constituents: frequency converters Sinamics, switching arrangements Sirius, power circuit-breakers Sentron, Profinet- central control unit, HMI-panel;
  7. SCADA cabinet of data collection
    Constituents: modules of distributed peripheral Simatic DP, arrangements and power circuit-breakers, Ethernet central control unit for the connection to SCADA-system of an enterprise;
  8. Instrumentation and control equipment (I&CE) cabinet
    Constituents: power units for analog sensors, control facilities of actuating devices, switching arrangements and power circuit-breakers, secondary appliances with human-machine interface panels.

LEVEL 3

Field level (I&CE, Distributed peripheral):

At the field control level cabinets, which are usually installed directly by the measured or operating mechanisms, are assembled.

Example:

  1. I&CE cabinet of a boilerhouse
    Constituents: instrumentation sensors (measurement of the boiler characteristics), control facilities of shut-off valves, switching arrangements and power circuit-breakers, power units for analog values, a module of distributed peripheral for the connection to SCADA-system of an enterprise;
  2. Data collection cabinet for ACS GDP (Gas Distribution Plant)
    Constituents: instrumentation sensors (measurement of the characteristics of a gas distribution plant), control facilities of shut-off valves, switching arrangements and power circuit-breakers, GSM-module for data transmission to a control engineer;
  3. ASCAPC cabinet
    Constituents: cold and hot water counters, electricity and gas consumption counters, control facilities of shut-off valves, data collection on Hart-protocol, Ethernet central control unit for the connection to SCADA-system.
