Terminal Process Control

Project Solutions
The Automation Project Solutions portfolio spans the disciplines of control, instrumentation, electrical and mechanical engineering. Our project group is able to integrate your plant utilising the latest open industry standards. Promoting the use of industrial networks and integration of the plant floor with the business enterprise, real time information can be truly integrated across the facility.

Over the years our team has built up a varied experience with specialist exposure to Hazardous Area applications, Custody Transfer and plant floor to business enterprise integration. Applying current technologies and utilising a philosophy of open, scalable and integrated architectures we can design, configure, program and install an automation solution that meets your individual project requirements of cost and functionality.

SCADA
PVSS II is an integrated automation system which provides software solutions to all essential parts of industrial automation. In particular, the following automation functions are managed by this innovative software:
Data Acquisition and Processing
Control
Visualisation
Alarm Handling
Trending
Reporting
Documentation
Simulation

The User Interface Manager (VISION) is one of the major components of the PVSS II system, which provides an interactive user interface for the plant processes. It allows the user to monitor the measurements from the field equipment, the status of the process components such as pumps, tanks, valves, etc. and the conditions of the alarms.

PVSS II has a library of core classes, eg. pipes, trends, motors, tanks that can be used in a project, or the user can develop their own class for specific needs. Having a re-useable class means subsequent projects can be implemented much more quickly.

Utilizing a Client/Server architecture PVSS II allows distributed users across an enterprise but maintains a single point of configuration.
All engineering functions and control functions are undertaken at the server location and run transparently in the background.

The server provides clients with graphical user interfaces for all server tasks (eg. Process Graphics, Configuration). This is an approach which strongly leverages commercial computer systems, enabling the user to utilise the breadth and cost of commercially available hardware.

For example, the PVSS II client software can be run on standard desktop PCs simultaneously with other programs. Compliant operating systems for the PVSS II server software are:
Windows NT/2000
Linux

Because PVSS II is independent of any brand of automation hardware it allows a Mix-And-Match approach to integrate many different hardware components. Thus, PVSS II is ideally suited for modernisation projects that require the user to integrate numerous hardware varieties.
