  • Benefit: Ensures reliable, repeatable, and scalable control, providing a robust foundation for your automation needs.
• Comprehensive Safety & Interlocks:
  • Emergency Stop (E-Stop) Functionality: Instantaneous shutdown of all critical systems in emergency situations.
  • Process Interlocks: Prevents unsafe conditions (e.g., burner ignition without airflow, drum rotation without safety guards).
  • Alarm Management: Configurable high/low alarms for all critical parameters with historical logging and acknowledgment features.
  • Benefit: Protects personnel, prevents equipment damage, and minimizes downtime caused by safety incidents.
• Data Logging & Reporting:
  • Historical Data Archiving: Records key process variables (temperatures, flow rates, fuel consumption, RPM) for comprehensive analysis.
  • Trend Analysis: Visual representation of data over time, allowing for process optimization and troubleshooting.
  • Customizable Reports: Generate daily, weekly, or monthly reports on production metrics, energy usage, and operational performance.
  • Benefit: Facilitates continuous process improvement, aids in regulatory compliance, provides valuable insights for cost reduction, and supports preventative maintenance.
• Remote Monitoring & Control (Optional):
  • SCADA Integration: Seamless connectivity to existing plant-wide SCADA systems for centralized control and data acquisition.
  • Ethernet/Modbus/OPC UA Connectivity: Enables remote access via secure VPN for off-site monitoring, diagnostics, and parameter adjustments.
  • Benefit: Enhances operational flexibility, allows for proactive maintenance, and reduces the need for constant on-site supervision.
