Purpose
- Visualization and control of custom filling equipment for car fluids and air normally visualized with Siemens panels
- Challenge: End-customer requested panels running the SCADA software Ignition by Inductive Automation to be integrated into their company network while the OEM preferred a stand-alone solution for easier commissioning
- ATS was chosen for the job because of its experience with Siemens and Ignition. The key point was the concept of following the end-customer’s specifications while guaranteeing to implement all of the OEM’s needs and changes as they occur during development and commissioning
Project Scope
- Migrating the existing WinCC Panel solution to an Ignition SCADA system
- Creation of the visual interface hand-in-hand with the OEM’s PLC development
- Deployment in production / commissioning
Solution Approach
- Delivery and configuration of the stand-alone Ignition servers
- Frequent reports to both the OEM and the end-customer
- Use of Siemens PLCSIM advanced simulation software to minimize commissioning time
The Results
- Stand-Alone software with look and feel of the end-customer’s plant standard
- Turnkey solution that is still open for changes by end-customer through transparent programming
