Start Year: 2010

Location: Italy, northern region

Industry: Energy

Technology: SIEMENS SPPA-T3000 (migration from Legacy ORSI AUTOMAZIONE systems)

Services: Engineering, Power-up, Commissioning support

Engineering services for the DCS/PLC layer for a conversion from a ORSI DCS legacy (PMC Series 15/386) to SIEMENS SPPA T3000 using S7400 and ET200M technology) and provided the necessary assistance for the power-up and start-up stages of the project. The major challenge of this project was to design the new DCS system around the old one, keeping the existing cabinets (to avoid complications with the existing I/O wiring and to minimize the commissioning period) and to replace the existing DCS within three weeks from the plant shutdown.
