Client with Three Legacy Controlled Casting Pits

Perhaps most importantly, this satisfied client has already engaged the team to continue their modernization efforts elsewhere in the plant and to investigate an area or facility-wide Ignition solution for enhanced supervisory control in the future.

Magnum’s Controls & Process Automation Groups’ methodical approach to systems upgrades was exactly what the revised solution required. Their team worked onsite to reverse-engineer the existing systems by interviewing the client’s staff, reviewing the physical connections inside the panels and in the field, and conducting a detailed review of the data code. Based on this investigation, they developed controls narratives and plans for the eventual equipment installation.

It was a simple yet elegant solution that leveraged all the strengths of the Rockwell Automation platform in a powerful yet small form factor that fit the needs of the application both logically and physically.
