PHOENIX auto/CHEM™ - Controls
Basic
System Design
The standard DSC (Dewatering System Controller) is based around a
design that uses a stand-alone Logic Control Panel to monitor and
control the entire dewatering system. The DSC contains a processor
and all the associated I/O to control a Thickener, one Belt Filter
Press and various ancillary pumps and field devices. The DSC also
contains a PC with an industrial panel mount color monitor for
operator interface. The operator interface PC provides a graphical
representation of the system with displaying all the necessary
outputs for proper system control. The DSC is also designed to
control an external motor control package. The external motor
package (by others) can take any form from either a Motor Control
Center (MCC) or a Motor Control Panel (MCP).
PLC Programming
Extensive testing and field data has allowed us to develop a fully
functional and tested PLC ladder logic code for a DSC. The program is
written and is tested and finalized in our shop prior to releasing
the DSC for shipment. Included with the PLC programming service is a
complete and comprehensive O&M manual.
Operator Interface Programming
The PC and industrial monitor will provide a real time graphical
representation of the dewatering system. Additional screens will
allow for manual override controls, parameter/speed adjustment
settings, and fault annunciation with alarm history and date time
stamp for record keeping. This is a PHOENIX Process Equipment Co
developed application and is sold to the customer license free.
PHOENIX Process Equipment Co retains all rights to the developed code
which is maintained as a proprietary developed software program.
