The Challenges

Municipalities are challenged with aging water facilities, increased capacity

requirements, environmental concerns and regulatory demands.

Distributed control systems in water treatment processes are often a patchwork of

various suppliers’ equipment, programming packages, networks and visualization

systems - requiring ongoing costs for extra engineering, programming, wiring,

training and maintenance.

Manual data collection and reporting is time-consuming and costly, with valuable

information on plant performance, effi ciency, historical trending and monitoring

locked on the plant fl oor.

Huge energy consumers, like the municipal pumps used in the water industry,

add signifi cant overall operating costs.

With the constant pressure of maintenance, engineering and total life-cycle costs,

capacity, quality and regulatory compliance; the need for real-time information is

greater than ever.

Plant-wide Control Systems

The PlantPAx™ Process Automation System from

Rockwell Automation delivers the data you need, when you

need it, to help confi gure, control and optimize your operations.

Using Integrated Architecture™ technologies, the FactoryTalk®

Integrated Production and Performance Software Suite and the

Logix platform, PlantPAx provides integrated monitoring and

alerting, and detailed diagnostic and historical data, to help you

reduce engineering time, and installation and maintenance costs.

Monitor. Control. Report.

Easy access to production and equipment information enables

faster troubleshooting, better decision-making, predictive failure

data, and environmental compliance reports.

Allen-Bradley® ControlLogix® programmable automation

controllers – or PACs - are fully integrated and off er real-time

visibility into monitoring water quality, trending of loads,

levels and clarity, and detailed alarming, data collection and

automated reporting. The Logix platform helps protect critical

processes from unscheduled downtime.

FactoryTalk Historian software enables a powerful search engine

and reporting tools, while RSLogix 5000® software reduces

programming time by re-using the library code of integrated

logic blocks for each device.

Remote terminal units enabled by PlantPAx access all process

and motor controls via high-speed dual fi ber-optic networks.

Maintenance staff can monitor remote sites, view alarm and

historical data, and diagnose problems without leaving the facility.

Reduce Energy Use

AC drives, motor starters, and process instruments are also

integrated into the PlantPAx process control system.

Allen-Bradley PowerFlex® variable frequency AC drives help to

improve speed and power control, reduce energy use, and

provide communications for motor speed, voltage, power

consumption, and fault conditions. With the Powermonitor™ 3000,

operators can monitor power in pumping stations, electrical

rooms, and purifi cation and water-discharging equipment.

Reduce your operating costs, total cost of ownership and provide

future expandability with full support services and solutions

from Rockwell Automation.

Water and wastewater solutions that help you achieve

plant-wide process control to save time and money.
