Project Description
Overview
In conjunction with Olsson Industrial Electric and Olsson Controls, OS Engineering upgraded a Water Utility’s SCADA system from the existing RSView32 program to new Ignition by Inductive Automation in March of 2018. This upgrade included the integration of several existing detached sub-systems into the Ignition program (water quality compliance report viewing and management, on-call alarm notification roster configuration, and daily operator log). The OS Engineering team designed over 80 control screens for utility components including wellfields, treatment plants, pump stations, and city water distribution. Transaction groups and named queries features (provided by Ignition’s SQL bridge module) were utilized to streamline obfuscated reporting calculations.
Scope
- Installed and configured Ignition and MSSQL software
- Developed a new tag database, codified the tag names and structure
- Designed new control screens based on ISA 18.2 and ISA 101 standards and utilizing templates in the standardization of screen components
- Developed six monthly compliance reports
- Implemented an on-call alarm notification system
- Developed operations tools (on-call roster management, ad-hoc trends, daily logs and sensor calibration data entry)
