Integrated electrical control cabinets, operator HMI, pumps, valves, and process instrumentation — Coordinated ControlsOne operating system

Application Purpose

Bring Equipment, Controls and Operators Together

An industrial control system must coordinate more than individual devices. PLC logic, operator interaction, instrumentation, communications, electrical equipment, and field devices all need to work as one system.

DPES approaches control engineering around the actual operating process, developing systems that connect these layers while keeping operation and serviceability practical for the people responsible for the equipment.

Integrated Capabilities

Industrial Control System Capabilities

PLC Control Systems

PLC-based control architecture and logic coordinated around the equipment and operating sequence of the application.

Operator Interfaces

HMI and operator controls that provide practical interaction with the process and equipment.

Instrumentation & Field Devices

Integration of instrumentation, sensors, status information, and field equipment required by the control process.

Industrial Communications

Communication between controllers, equipment, instrumentation, and supported external systems using the networking requirements of the application.

Electrical Integration

Coordinate the control system with drives, switchgear, motors, and associated electrical equipment.

Commissioning & Support

Support the transition from engineered controls to an operating system through integration, commissioning, and project-specific field assistance.

Conceptual System Flow

Control Architecture Built Around the Application

The appropriate control architecture depends on the process, equipment, operator requirements, communication needs, installation environment, and systems that must exchange information. DPES engineers these elements around how the complete application must operate.

Process

Define the equipment behavior and operating sequence that the system must coordinate.

Instrumentation

Bring required field information and device status into the control environment.

PLC Controls

Coordinate control logic around the equipment and required sequence.

Operator Interface

Provide practical visibility and interaction for the people operating the equipment.

Electrical Equipment

Connect the controls with the drives, motors, switchgear, and associated equipment.

Connected Systems

Exchange supported information with other systems required by the project.

Related DPES Capabilities

Industrial controls frequently operate alongside motor drives and electrical distribution equipment. DPES can coordinate these areas while maintaining each system's specific engineering requirements.
