Scope of work to be done
Was the equipment supply and product training of
Modicon Quantum PLC's and FactoryLink SCADA.
However, the whole project was to be executed
during a planned shutdown period and required
careful planning in order to minimise disruption at
the changeover.

Products used
The PLC was programmed in hot stand‐by
configuration and it was decided to make use of
standard terminal cabling in order to facilitate a
smoother transition.
