NETWORK SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Universal standards such as OPC, Ethernet and Modbus have made system integration between products of different suppliers much easier than in the past..Now the customer can select the most suitable equipment for his application regardless of existing equipment to which it must be interfaced. Nevertheless, the integration should be performed by experts if the end result is to be practical and reliable.

Today’s plants require a common interface for DCS, ESD, F&G and SCADA systems that enable complex plant to be managed safely with a minimum number of operators, assisted with the right tools and expert programming to ensure that the information is filtered to give the priority to the most urgent tasks without omitting the details that enable the production to be optimize efficiently.

The choice of a competent system integrator with experience in multiple systems and disciplines is the customer’s guarantee that the work will be completed efficiently, in good time, and the finished system will be reliable in use for many years of successful operation without the loss of data or production time.

While having particular expertise in the Oil & Gas and Power sectors, ECISGROUP has experienced hardware, software and safety system engineers that are equipped to tackle the most diverse projects in any process industry.

The ECISGROUP premises, on the outskirts of Milan, has an ample staging area for the combined IFAT (Integrated Factory Acceptance Test) with excellent facilities.

SYSTEM MIGRATION & REVAMPING

Although the design of new plant continues to be an important sector of work, there is a growing market for the revamping of older plant. Many sites are still using control systems that are over 20 years old, and for which spare parts are becoming costly or unobtainable.These older systems are often unable to cope with the extra demands of modern management systems that requires detailed production data in real time, or the enhanced level of safety and reliability demanded by current standards. Revamping of existing systems requires extensive planning, based on acquired experience, to ensure that plant production is maintained during the changeover or that downtime is minimized by completing the site activities for the changeover during routine maintenance shutdowns.

TYPICAL ACTIVITIES:

- Reverse engineering - recovering all plant control data and logics from existing systems. This ensures that the new system will have identical characteristics and the plant will operate from day 1 without need for retuning control loops or adjusting processes setpoints, timings or alarm points etc.

- Existing control process and safety system upgrade

- System migration into new technological platforms

- FAT, SAT, commissioning and start-up

MAINTENANCE SERVICES

ECISGROUP has, from the beginning, offered a complete after-sales service and assistance for systems delivered.The company also offers its services and experience for multiple platforms for service contracts for all automation equipment.

ECISGROUP runs a 24hour a day service, every day of the year for critical plant that requires round-the-clock support.Modern equipment is very reliable, and built in redundancy can guarantee plant operation even when there are multiple equipment failures. However, to maintain this level of availability, regular maintenance is required to check that redundant units are all working and that the any faulty units are replaced in good time, as well as ensuring that the systems are kept clean and protective systems are in good working order.Good maintenance can also prolong the working the working life of older equipment.

Manufacturers will promote the upgrade and replacement of obsolete systems and not without reason. New systems offer greater speed and reliability and more facilities for the operators. However, when the process equipment is also aging, the market for the end product is diminishing or the raw material becoming scarce, it is not economic to close down the plant for a revamping. Even older electronic equipment has been shown to be very serviceable and reliable when treated correctly, and well maintained.ECISGROUP is successfully maintaining systems that are over 20 years old and the reliability

has dramatically improved with regular maintenance visits. At the end of the day, when the unit finally breaks down and there are no more spare parts available, the unit can be replaced promptly, with limited expenditure, with modern equipment that operates in parallel with the legacy equipment until the plant is decommissioned.

TYPICAL ACTIVITIES:

- On-call availability 24h/day & 365days/year.- Spare parts stock available in our headquarters.- Exchange repair solution contracts.- Remote control diagnostic and on-call assistance.
