Electrical, Instrumentation & OT Integration

E&I engineering, motor-control and smart device integration, and industrial networks and communications.

Overview

Electrical and instrumentation engineering, motor-control and smart device integration, and industrial networks, delivered as part of a control system project or on their own.

The work covers the boundary between field equipment and the control system: signals, device configuration, communications and the documentation that ties them together.

What this covers in detail

Electrical & Instrumentation Engineering

E&I design and integration support for new control-system projects, existing plant upgrades and commissioning work.

Typical scope
  • Instrument integration for new and existing systems
  • Control panel and marshalling interface support
  • MCC, VSD, soft starter and motor protection interface design and review
  • Cable, termination, loop and junction box documentation at project level
  • Instrument selection and integration support
  • Loop checks, SAT and commissioning support
  • Site markups and as-built updates

Motor Control, Instrument & Smart Device Integration

Modern integration of motor-control equipment, instruments and connected field devices into PLC, HMI and SCADA systems.

Typical scope
  • New motor-control, instrument and smart-device integration
  • Existing plant uplift using available drive, starter, protection relay and device data
  • Hardwired and communications-based interfaces
  • Modern protocol integration where practical and suitable
  • VSD, soft starter, motor protection relay and MCC data visibility
  • Drive and motor-control status, warnings, trips, speed, current, power and torque visibility
  • Smart instrument diagnostics and status visibility
  • Vendor package device integration into the main PLC / HMI / SCADA system
  • Device communications troubleshooting and commissioning

OT Networks & Industrial Communications

Industrial communications support for new and existing control systems, field devices, remote assets and vendor package interfaces.

Typical scope
  • New OT network and device communications integration
  • Existing network review, upgrade and troubleshooting
  • Device network mapping and diagnostics
  • PLC, HMI and SCADA communications configuration
  • Fieldbus and industrial Ethernet fault investigation
  • Gateway and vendor package interface support
  • Communications health monitoring and diagnostic display support
  • Brownfield network change support
