When the client brought DMC to the project, the automation portion was already behind schedule due to a previous integrator\u2019s lack of Rockwell experience. DMC expedited \u201cmanual mode\u201d development by using ACM, along with Rockwell\u2019s provided PlantPAx control module templates, to quickly instance all the required device-level logic for the system. Once the control module layer was built, a DMC engineer downloaded the manual mode program onsite and began performing loop checks while the rest of the DMC team focused on higher-level sequence development.\u00a0
\r\n
\r\nTo keep the onsite and offline programs consistent through the device commissioning, daily status updates were provided to the DMC team and customer outlining commissioning status and changes made that need to be reconciled to the offline project.\u00a0
\r\n
\r\nOnce the offsite sequence development was complete, DMC imported the sequence routines to the onsite program and provided function testing and start-up support for the system commissioning.\u00a0
\r\n
\r\nIn addition to using the built-in FactoryTalk SE datalogging capabilities for local data collection, DMC installed and commissioned a Kepware OPC server to push data to the client\u2019s cloud-based enterprise historian.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

By leveraging Rockwell\u2019s PlantPAx libraries and tools like Application Code Manager, DMC was able to meet the client\u2019s aggressive commissioning timeline while also keeping the project on budget, demonstrating DMC\u2019s core values<\/a> of \u201cShare Information\u201d and \u201cMake Things Happen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

DMC developed a PlantPAx system for an R&D hydrogen conversion process utilizing a ControlLogix PLC and FactoryTalk SE SCADA. To meet the customer’s aggressive commissioning schedule, DMC leveraged Application Code Manager (ACM) to rapidly deploy device control modules so that onsite IO commissioning could be done quickly while remote sequence development could be done in parallel. <\/p>\r\n","description":"","customer_benefits":"
