Summary:
SCADA Network Solution offers system integration for SCADA and control systems across a range of industries, often relying on Unitronics all-in-one PLCs for efficient control backed by industry leading support. Using a Unitronics PLC+HMI, SCADA Network Solution was able to improve the control system of steel production furnaces. Unitronics precise thermocouple inputs and powerful PID control kept the furnaces running at the optimal temperature, backed by industry leading technical support and customer service.
Can a PLC provide highly accurate temperature control? SCADA Network Solution offers integration solutions for industrial automation and networking. They strive to design and implement applications that enable their customers to be more efficient, safer and better organized. Using a mix of controllers—including Unitronics PLCs—SCADA systems and industrial communications, SCADA Network Solutions provides state-of-the-art results for all their clients’ needs. One of these clients needed better temperature control for eight furnaces used in steel production. The customer wanted to improve their cascade and step control for these furnaces, as well as implementing to a system that offered better support than their existing solution. The furnaces require timing and temperature control that can change for each step of the process, which can be up to thirty steps long. They also needed a boost feature, to adjust the temperature 55 degrees Celsius up or down from the set point depending on the initial temperature of the product.
