A structured life cycle engineering approach

Fully integrated software suite offers savings of up to 50 %
A structured life cycle engineering approach

Engineers looking to develop and deliver integrated Scada systems, and then operate and maintain those systems over a lifetime that could see many ongoing alterations and upgrades, will understand the difficulties of preserving consistency and integrity. Yet, users of Mitsubishi Electric PLCs and Adroit Technologies Scada packages have a solution in the form of Mitsubishi Adroit Process Suite (Maps).

Developed as a fully integrated design, engineering and management tool, Maps can significantly reduce automation system lifecycle engineering effort and costs, offering savings of up to 50 %. It delivers tightly integrated Scada and PLC solutions built around pre-configured and tested engineering libraries, features a complete suite of diagnostic and maintenance tools, and integrates full document management capabilities that help users maintain ’as built’ quality documentation throughout the lifecycle of the plant.
The process suite adds value throughout all the phases of an automation system project, from process design and engineering, development of the control systems, installation, commissioning, start-up and acceptance testing all the way through to operation, maintenance, re-pairs and ongoing upgrades. It supports consistency and integrity right across the automation system, and improves quality while reducing cost.
Scalable and extensible solution
Maps builds on Adroit’s object-oriented Scada software that provides openness, scalability and extensibility and delivers tight integration with Mitsubishi Electric PLC-based automation systems, while addressing the shortcomings of traditional integration tools which fail to maintain system integrity as the project evolves. The Maps methodology allows automation systems to be built around pre-configured and tested engineering libraries of PLC function blocks and associated Scada graphics. This standardised approach to projects reduces engineering time and effort throughout all the phases of development, delivery and operation. The wizard-based approach to project development allows cost reductions of between 30 and 50 % to be achieved by reducing the time spent on development and configuration. Maps also includes integrated diagnostic and maintenance tools that significantly boost system availability.
Integrated document management
Whenever different engineers, different project teams or even different companies are involved in a project across its complete lifecycle, the software suite helps to ensure that the automation system remains optimally efficient – from the design phases to the ongoing operational phase, which will often see the system evolve beyond its initial specification – by providing an integrated document management solution that maintains ’as built’ quality documentation. The system reflects up-to-date configuration information and makes sure the project databases and documentation are synchronised with every change in the design. Maps also offers the ability to back up a project centrally.
