In many production plants, control systems from different manufacturers and different generations are in use due to long runtimes. The modernization of process equipment is inevitable as support continues to decline due to discontinuations. Migration focuses not only on replacing outdated technology, but also on adapting the processing plant to the increased requirements of the future.
It makes no difference whether you want to perform the complete migration in one go or in several stages. With our solutions for the modernization of your processing plants, you bring the communication system up to date. This optimizes your maintenance processes. In addition, you reduce downtimes in your plants and make inspection rounds paperless.
How old is the control system and measurement and control technology that you are using? Which I/O modules are in use? Which signals are transmitted from the field to the control system? We discuss these and other questions together with you, because every starting situation in a migration project is different. Therefore, there is no single strategy for connecting to a new I/O system.
After a careful inventory and consultation, the plan for the conversion is made. Our experts in automation technology will work out this plan together with your specialist personnel from MCR technology and maintenance. We provide special adaptation concepts for all common control systems to address all local concerns regarding your system. Thus, even a modernization in running operations is possible, error-free, and with low downtimes.
Efficient signal marshalling requires detailed planning. To reduce the size and cost of the overall switch room, it is necessary to minimize the number of control cabinets. In addition, openness to migration plays an important role.
Benefit from our extensive expertise in special interface modules and cabling solutions. Our solutions are tailored both to the different I/O components of the major control system manufacturers as well as to the local requirements of the operators.
In addition to terminal blocks and marshalling terminals, passive interface modules, and relay modules, we also provide interface components. These include SIL-certified repeater power supplies, IS signal duplicators, solenoid drivers, surge protection, and safety relays. Through the use of state-of-the-art technologies, our products are developed to be temperature-optimized and are very narrow. This allows up to 1,024 analog inputs to be separated and marshalled in an 80 x 80 cm cabinet with intrinsic safety, which results in a space savings of up to 20%. These devices are mounted in the cabinet in a space-saving manner using a robust carrier system, the Termination Carrier, and connected with a turn of the wrist via a system plug.
Make it easier to document your inspection rounds by using maintenance software on tablets. The maintenance engineer is guided to all components to be inspected based on a schedule. This scenario requires a wireless network that connects the tablets to the master MES at all times. A WLAN network is suitable for supporting maintenance processes with industrial-grade office equipment. A combination of cable and wireless is likewise possible. We can also provide you with a suitable IT security concept.
Another option is cluster management, especially for smaller networks of up to 20 access points. The commissioning process is greatly simplified. In this process, only one of the access points needs to be configured. The configuration is then transferred to the other access points in the network. With little effort, you thus fulfill all the necessary safety-related framework parameters.
Knowing today what may happen tomorrow. In the maintenance department, this is a big ask. However, it is possible to provide more data from the field today than in the past. If you link this data with web services, it is possible to prevent or reduce system shutdowns through the use of analyses.
We provide you with various products and solutions developed from connection, communication, and automation technology for typical control, monitoring, and optimization tasks. They allow you to reliably capture, transport, and process data.

In addition to fulfilling the undergraduate Core Curriculum requirements for the bachelor of science degree in Civil Engineering, students must complete a minimum of 195 units and the following department requirements:
The technical electives should be selected in consultation with an academic advisor to satisfy the requirements of the general civil, environmental and sustainable engineering program or one of the approved emphasis area programs in civil engineering. The program requires that students take either CENG 160 or CENG 182; whichever course is not taken to satisfy this requirement may be taken as a technical elective.
The Environmental Research and Teaching Laboratories consist of connected teaching and research facilities. The lab is equipped with instrumentation needed for basic chemical and biological characterization of water, wastewater, and soil samples.
