Individual control systems for your process plants ensure optimum efficiency and process safety. Agitator controls should therefore meet the safety performance level in accordance with DIN EN 62061 / ISO 13849.
Depending on the requirements of the plant or plant area, SEEFRIED Verfahrenstechnik GmbH prepares the requirement specification for the control functions of your process plant. In addition, we describe the corresponding interfaces for data acquisition and documentation. The control system should be based on modern, reliable control concepts. Depending on your needs, the concept ranges from a simple control with touch panel to process-guided recipe operation.
The user interfaces show the plant structure graphically and arrange all functions clearly and in an easy-to-operate way. Furthermore, the control system should store all machine run data traceably under the batch number in a database and display it graphically. Despite complex technologies, intuitive and clear operation is what matters most. Because the control system is self-explanatory, operators quickly become familiar with the machines and the process plant. As a result, users do not need long training courses.
Modular, future-proof and connected
The control system should be attractive and future-oriented. A modular, clear control concept also increases economic efficiency. In larger plants, an ERP system should therefore pass all process steps, raw materials and weighing data to the process plant. Afterwards, the plant reports the completed work steps back to the ERP system. From the actuator-sensor level to the connection with your existing ERP system, a high degree of standardisation and modularity is essential.
You should also plan a diagnostic module that permanently monitors the functionality and stability of the entire plant. In this way, downtimes during production are kept to a minimum. When choosing the system platform, we recommend market-leading systems such as Siemens or Wonderware Inc. These have a modular structure and can be extended as required. This ensures that the control system matches your requirements and needs exactly.
Frequently Asked Questions about control systems for process plants
Which standards apply to agitator control systems?
Control systems should meet the safety performance level in accordance with DIN EN 62061 or ISO 13849.
What do you provide in control engineering?
We prepare the requirement specifications for the control functions of your process plant and describe the related interfaces for data acquisition and documentation.
Can the control system be connected to an ERP system?
Yes. In larger plants, process steps, raw materials and weighing data can be provided by the ERP system and completed steps reported back – standardized and modular from the actuator-sensor level up to the ERP system.
Which system platforms are recommended?
Market-leading, modularly expandable platforms such as Siemens or Wonderware. This allows the control system to be tailored precisely to your requirements and extended later.
