Case Studies

• Configured the connection to an RSSQL server for the static timetable
• Produced ControlLogix code to communicate via both channels of an MVI module to two off Network Rail/Bombardier Train Describer (TD) channels - Branch Line and Main Line berth movements
• Decode the signals into a live timetable in the PLC
• Update all of the Train Information Displays (TIDs - text displays shown in photograph to the right) via a second MVI module
• Integrate the system into the existing RSView32 ADS SCADA system
• Communicate to the Public Address and Fire Alarm PLCs over Ethernet/IP
• Commissioned the system

This project is relied upon by millions of people every year.

• Configured 5 off IFM AS-i Valve and digital I/O Networks
• Configured 5 off Profibus PA Instrumentation Networks:-
• 5 off Endress & Hauser Smartec S PA Conductivity/Temperature Transmitters
• 1 off Endress & Hauser iTemp PA Temperature Transmitters
• 13 off Endress & Hauser Liquiphant PA Level Switches
• 1 off Siemens Sipart PS2 PA Control Valve Positioner
• Configured the APV Accos Communications via a Profibus DP/DP Coupler
• Programmed the PLC (Siemens S7 315-2DP)
• Programmed the HMI (Siemens TP270 10")
• Configured the Tele-service dial-in adaptor on the MPI network
• Commissioned the system

The plant controls a turntable, clamps and two weld robots to assemble Nissan and Ford car seats. The robots communicate to a TCP (Tool Centre Point) Bull's-Eye and to a WTI Weld Print for quality monitoring.

• Configured the Profibus DP I/O Network to Wago Remote I/O on the jigs and to the ABB Robots
• Programmed the PLC (Siemens S7 315-2DP)
• Programmed the HMI (Siemens MP370)
• Programmed the 2 off ABB Robots
• Programmed interface to the WTI Weld Print recorder
• Commissioned the system
