Introduction
Parijat Controlware Inc. (PCI) has been in business since 1989, serving any manufacturing, oil & gas, etc. supply chain management projects worldwide. PCI initially built its reputation on the ability to provide quality and extremely reliable control and safety systems for the oil and gas industry. PCI has successfully completed projects for several end users, in various industries. PCI forte is programming & diagnosing PLCs, HMI/SCADA systems & related business, and enterprise applications solutions.
PCI designs/builds end-to-end turn-key automation control system solutions from field devices to mobile devices to the top end of enterprise applications, including order fulfillment. PCI adopts a wide range of controllers like Rockwell/Allen-Bradley, Siemens, ABB, Schneider, Emerson/GE, Honeywell, Automation Direct, Opto22, Mitsubishi, Omron, Toshiba, etc. PCI also has a private label PLC of its own designed for almost 10000 ft depth of ocean floor with components exposed to full depth pressure. PCI uses Microsoft Visual Studio .NET technology for HMI/SCADA or products Like Rockwell – PlantPax, FT/RSView/Panelview; Schneider/Aveva – Wonderware, Archestra, Indusoft, Geo/ClearScada, Citect, Telvent; Siemens – WinCC, TIA, OA; Emerson/GE – Proficy, iFix, Simplicity; Mitsubishi Iconics, Inductive Automation, etc. A client has the choice to pick what precise combination to use. Best features & economies are achievable from Microsoft & Rockwell combination. Solutions are neutral or agnostic to the control systems hardware, networking & all other related peripheral control equipment.
PCI’s own products always use contemporary technologies. The database of choice is the latest version of MS SQL Server or Postgres. Only a single copy of data is employed from end to end. Products may be further customized to nth degree of the client’s needs. Virtualized, cloud & locally hosted servers are fully supported.
PCI PLC Infrastructure
Additional features available when Parijat PLC program Infrastructure is employed.
- Online relevant PLC code viewable in HMI
- Built-in simulation and override capability that may be invoked anytime for testing, training, troubleshooting or get around failed equipment/hardware etc.
- Extremely powerful control diagnostics – ask for more details
- Simplified single step MOC (management of change)
- Live integrated drawings, user manuals, etc.
Traditional, Typical Solutions
Typically, system solutions use multiple products from different vendors, running on Microsoft Windows. This results in a heterogeneous solution with multiple copies of data & multiple dependencies on non-Microsoft vendors. Also, there are vulnerabilities to human data entry errors.
PCI Solutions
PCI solution integrates all of above layers into a single Parijat product management System with a single copy of data. However, if there are adequate technical reasons in the project in question, then the solution may be broken out also into desired islands, maintains data integrity & avoids human errors.
