Solving Several Problems for Water/Waste Water Plants

In 2015 we built new pumping stations for waste water. At the same time the decision was made to upgrade the existing SCADA and PLC systems. The old SCADA system was installed in the late ‘90s and PLC systems were built with technology from the ‘80s with a serial communication interface. The requirement was that the new system would be able to handle even the old PLC systems and spread the investment costs for upgrading. At the same time, a fiber network covering the entire county was built.

New SCADA Provides Numerous Benefits While Keeping Legacy Hardware

The client has an aging system, Siemens FactoryLink, that is at the verge of discontinuation, and they must be upgraded to one that is currently supported while also bringing upon improvements to rationalize the cost of the change. The challenge is to create a system that is able to tie together all the legacy devices with their wide range of configurations and transition to Ignition within a set of defined phases.
