PLC / SCADA
CLIENT: Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal
PLC and SCADA Engineering services provided by Cell Engineering supported ongoing operational improvements, testing, and system modifications for underground mining operations within the Bowen Basin, Queensland. The site has an extensive PLC and SCADA network (Allen Bradley / Citect) and engaged Cell to assist site personnel with continuous updates, modifications, and testing of the site systems.
This would typically include:
- Implementing and testing operator-requested changes
- Configuring the system to standard designs and Safety improvements.
- Routine and statutory testing.
- Specification and Scope development for major changes.
- Database access and manipulation for reporting and tracking.
PLC and SCADA System Support
Cell Engineering was engaged to support continuous improvements and operational support activities associated with the site’s Allen Bradley PLC and Citect SCADA infrastructure. The project involved implementing operator-requested modifications, improving system functionality, conducting routine and statutory testing, and supporting ongoing operational reliability across critical mining infrastructure systems. Our engineering team also assisted with specification development, scope preparation for major system changes, and database access and manipulation to improve operational reporting, tracking, and system visibility.
