The Project

This project was developed so that the entire water treatment and distribution system of the Rio Manso and Paraopeba complex could have its various areas along the stretch automated (Brumadinho, Betim, Sarzedo and Contagem) and thus be monitored and controlled through a regional operating center (cor) located in the city of Brumadinho.

Results

One of the challenges was the large number of devices on the network and the various networks used, such as IEC-61850, PROFIBUS, MODBUS and others. With the proposal to decentralize the information in the controllers for each area, communication was established between the Siemens PLC and other equipment.

This solution enabled the Operation Centre to command and receive various signals for controlling and monitoring the areas covered by this project.

Due to the large number of points to be tested, we spent a year in the commissioning and testing phase, thus providing quality delivery of the resources acquired by the client.
