The Challenges
Burgeoning populations and demands for increased capacity. Budget shortfalls and
higher costs. Expanding and increasingly stringent regulatory requirements.
When it comes to water and wastewater treatment, todays municipalities face a
myriad of challenges. And data collection and environmental compliance reporting
can be one of the most time-consuming and costly undertakings youll confront.
Legacy distributed control systems (DCS) in water treatment plants are often a
patchwork of various suppliers equipment, programming packages, networks and
visualization systems. These disparate systems make accessing data difcult.
Reporting methods are often resource-intensive and rely on manual input, which
is prone to error. Even small errors can lead to inaccurate reports, violations and
penalties.
An integrated process control solution can improve the accuracy and efciency of
your reporting and help you address your regulatory compliance requirements.

and streamline reporting.
Monitor. Control. Report.
The PlantPAx system incorporates Integrated Architecture technologies,
the Logix control platform and information solutions including:
Allen-Bradley ControlLogix programmable automation controllers
(PACs) ofer real-time visibility for monitoring water quality
and trending plus detailed alarming, data collection and
automated reporting.

FactoryTalk View SE software supervisory HMI package for
enterprise solutions that features a distributed and scalable architecture
and gives maximum control over information.
FactoryTalk Historian software automatically identifes, gathers
and stores real-time process and production information,
including data from legacy systems.
FactoryTalk VantagePoint software taps into information from the
Logix control platform and FactoryTalk Historian to quickly
deliver pre-confgured reports.
FactoryTalk AssetCentre software centralized tool to secure,
manage, track and report automation-related asset information.
Rockwell Software Pavilion8 Real-time Environmental Management
(REM) environmental compliance and reporting application that
provides continuous active compliance in real-time.
Better Quality. Less Energy.
Process instrumentation and Intelligent Motor Control devices
are also integrated into the PlantPAx system to improve process
and pump control. This integration provides the basis for energy
management programs that help lower your operational power
costs.
The PlantPAx system supports integration with feld devices on
process networks such as EtherNet/IP, HART, Foundation Fieldbus
and PROFIBUS PA.
Allen-Bradley PowerFlex drives improve pump speed and motor
control to optimize energy use. When the drives are integrated
with PowerMonitor 3000 meters, operators can monitor power
in pumping stations, electrical rooms, and purifcation and
discharging equipment.
Choose Plant-wide Process Control
When you choose the PlantPAx Process Automation System from Rockwell Automation, you are assured a plant-wide system that surpasses
typical DCS functionality. This solution incorporates distributed process control, critical safety control and Intelligent Motor Control on one
information-enabled platform. One common EtherNet layer eases the integration of plant information with enterprise systems. You can
easily access the production and equipment information you need to deliver more accurate environmental compliance reports faster.
