Vehicle Manufacturer

Modernizing the Control and Supervision System

Altus products were chosen by a world-leading automotive manufacturer to modernize its water reuse control system at one of its industrial plants.

Sustainable and High-Availability Control System

The plant, which produces inorganic pigments for the automotive industry and for drinking water purification, needed upgrades to its supervisory and automation systems. The solution required a system to control the water recirculation pumps throughout the factory.

For this project, a complete solution using Altus products was developed. In addition to NX3030 CPUs for maintenance and supervision, dozens of frequency inverters were also used. The NX Series PLCs are responsible for managing over 1,000 communication points with the supervisory system and for controlling over 300 I/O points of the inverters. The high data processing and communication speed of the controllers allowed for rapid updating of real-time variables in the supervisory system, minimizing the system’s reaction time to commands and providing greater safety for operators.

High Availability

The system features NX3030 CPUs running in hot standby redundancy mode

Distributed system

The application is powered by robust Nexto CPUs acting as remote units, enhancing the system’s control capabilities

Quick decision making

The PLC’s seamless communication with field devices enhances decision-making speed for the management team

Unmatched Performance

The speed and processing power of the Nexto PLC delivered a significant performance boost

Simple and Efficient Programming with Nexto PLCs

To meet the demands of this project, Nexto programmable controllers were recommended. With high-speed processors and no moving parts, the products offer greater reliability and extended uptime.

Their multiprocessing capabilities bring features typically found in DCS systems. The NX Series PLCs support both graphical and textual programming languages in compliance with the IEC 61131-3 standard. One standout feature is the graphical FBD (Function Block Diagram) language, which enables the system to be broken down into functional blocks, making maintenance easier and allowing for the use of different programming languages within each block, enhancing programming flexibility.

Another key advantage was the use of pre-built libraries in the MasterTool IEC XE software, which significantly reduced development time. In addition, communication via PROFIBUS-DP, a common feature in these applications, allowed for seamless integration with devices from multiple manufacturers.
