Process control engineering firm MIPAC has developed a standardised Rockwell Automation ControlLogix™ and Wonderware ArchestrA™ framework that can save up to 300 engineering hours and tens of thousands of dollars on the average automation project.
Designed for the exclusive benefit of MIPAC’s key clients, the framework’s library of objects enable a project’s rapid configuration.
It supports the following features:
• objects to support alarming and set points managed within the PLC
• ease of configuration with functionality similar to a DCS
• standard window layouts and navigation standards
• multiple monitor support
• windows for alarm summary, alarm history, event history, help files and reports
• ControlLogix™ function block library
• built-in I/O simulation capability
• analogue signals with standard HH, H, L, LL, out-of-range and deviation alarms with time delays and deadbands.
“The framework enables express deployment of projects while providing sophisticated DCS-style functionality,” MIPAC managing director Eddie De Rivera says.
“Rather than repeat configuration steps for each project, MIPAC’s proven framework reduces engineering time on the average project by about two months, increasing clients’ profits and productivity and improving production quality even sooner.”
The new framework is currently being applied in the mining industry and would also benefit manufacturing, and food and beverage settings.
