SUPERVISION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS
The use of supervision and control systems allows the monitoring of electrical switchboards and plants,makes ordinary and extraordinary maintenance easier,supports and optimises data storage and can be interfaced to other management software tools.
IMESA supplies its supervision and control systems on a turn-key basis and provides its customers with all the servicing required for commissioning the system and subsequent personnel training,running, maintenance and assistance.
TYPICAL ARCHITECTURE OF SUPERVISION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS
The system is designed in order to satisfy all customer’s needs.The typical architecture consists of:
- Field level electronic devices (inside the switchboard or the automated machinery) which collect digital and analog signals and control the equipment; normally this function is carried out by PLC I/O,by remote control I/O in field bus systems and by microprocessor relays which can communicate via serial interface.
- Interface devices with data concentration function and exchange of communication protocols.At this level can be listed,beside PLC hardware,also some front-end devices, including the D.C.I.,a data concentrator designed and manufactured by IMESA.
- Building or industrial supervision devices realised on PC,which can be controlled by the most commonly known and widespread software applications or by means of operator panels.
