In a coating company PCA developed the automation of the complete production process. In this process several actions are done (pumping ground water, transportation, pre-treatment, drying and baking of the pieces in ovens, water purification, etc). PCA developed the control and complete visualisation of the process.
For a physico-chemical purification station, we have developped the update of an electrical cabinet which functioned with an older model of PLC (Siemens S5). We have installed a PLC Siemens S7-313C with a Siemens touch screen 10". For the emergency shutdown for this installation, we used a programmable shutdown relay to divide the different areas of the installation.
For this project, we were dealing with an installation with more power. The master switch of 400A drives 2 pumps of 55kW and 2 industrial fans of 7,5 kW.
