Pipeline Pump Stations ready to roll

The BDP Inc. team is currently providing programming and commissioning support for a new liquids pipeline in the greater Houston area.  The liquids pipeline includes several pump stations outfitted with PLC controls and graphic terminals for local Operator displays, where these PLC-HMI systems are being programmed by BDP to meet client specifications.  The pump stations will be operated remotely using the client’s existing SCADA system located at the liquids storage facility.  The BDP Inc. team is adding Operator displays and data tags to the existing SCADA system to monitor and control this new liquids pipeline.

Together with the client’s technical staff, the BDP Inc. team is testing and commissioning the PLC-HMI system at each pump station and enabling the new SCADA data tags and displays for remote operation.  These BDP Inc. programming and commissioning services provide supplemental resources to the client’s technical staff, while delivering system expertise to implement the new PLC-HMI equipment and to expand the existing SCADA system.

Successful integration of production data for use by local control systems and enterprise-wide SCADA systems requires an understanding of programming requirements for each system as well as compatibility of communication protocols and polling sequences.  Contact BDP Inc. for assistance in bridging the gap between your local control systems and your SCADA system today.
