From the motors that drive the clarifiers, bar screens, and blowers to the controllers that handle everything from valve activation to disinfection, treatment plants are filled with equipment that must be constantly watched for the tell-tale signs of wear or overloading. Monitoring far-flung field assets such as well pumps and lift stations can be even more problematic without proper monitoring and alarm solutions.
Redundancy and data integrity are major safeguards of system assets. Proficy Process Systems, which combines our PAC8000/RX3i controllers for distributed control systems with our Proficy HMI/SCADA–iFIX visualization application, achieves both of those goals. This combination of controllers and software affords optimal process and operation performance and visibility, thus maximizing uptime and productivity.
Proficy Cause+ allows operators to quickly respond to asset issues with instant post-alarm analysis via the live Proficy HMI/SCADA system. In addition, Key Performance Indicators provide operators with in-depth process knowledge and guidance for corrective actions. Where appropriate, operators can preempt alarms based on historical data to avoid unnecessary downtime. Thus, Cause+ gives operators the right tools for improving quality and process yields while ensuring that costly system assets are managed according to manufacturers” specifications and preventive maintenance schedules.
