• Generation of multi-function control box for use in water treatment applications for water chemistry and treatment industry. System based on Automation Direct Do-More PLC with C-More HMI as a self-contained control system in a box providing up to 8 PID/Ratio control loops, 8 additional analog input loops and 16 discrete control devices. The system is programmed to allow user configuration of installation specific operating characteristics, (e.g. zero, span, EU, alarms, tags, functions, capabilities and system management) from the HMI at run time without the need to update the underlying PLC or HMI code or consume expensive engineering resources. Work scope includes programming both PLC and HMI screens, panel design and eventual startup and commissioning on customer’s site.
