Power, Generation, Automation, Control Get Started
With the traditional power / control interface techniques, the control contacts from the equipment are wired into a marshalling cabinet. From there the terminals are wired to field devices and to the DCS system. This introduces additional costs associated with:
•Multiple Conductor Control Wiring - Material and Labor
•Cable Tray / Cable or Conduit / Cable - Material and Labor
During Start Up and Commissioning activities, large amounts of time are required to test each contact. If errors are found, material and labor costs to rectify can add up.
We would be pleased to develop a detailed proposal for your review. To get started click the Contact Us button below and tell us about your Power, Generation, Automation, and Control requirements. We look forward to working together.
As part of our offering, we have pioneered a concept we call “Own the One-Line”. The idea is to introduce automation into the traditional E-House, or Power Control Building scenario, thus reducing equipment and labor costs, and reducing overall start up and commissioning times.
With our "Own the One-Line" concept, the traditional marshaling panel is replaced with Distributed I/O devices and a data collection PLC. The PLC accumulates the data from the Power Equipment contacts and field devices, and delivers it to the DCS via CAT6 or fiber optic cables.
This reduces time and cost in the following manner:
Control Wiring is done with Communication Cables (CAT 5, CAT 6, Fiber Optic, etc.) which results in lower cost for materials and labor.
During Start Up and Commissioning activities, errors are fixed via software changes to the Distributed I/O and PLC as opposed to physical rewiring.
Future changes to the system may be accomplished by software changes.
