The platform creates and manages application and configuration data for a programmable logic controller (PLC)-based process control solution and the associated human machine interface (HMI) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, so there is no need to duplicate entry of the same data. “The UAG platform, with its single database interface, offers customers one tool to design the complete automated solution,” said Stephen L. Arnold, PLC product manager, Schneider Electric North America. “The single database environment helps enforce standardization, eliminates double entry of the same data and can be used concurrently by process and control engineers, and electricians, thus boosting efficiency and increasing customer productivity.” The platform also helps customers increase productivity by providing global resource mapping and communication management through network configuration. In addition, UAG generates PLC applications, including configuration, variables, code and communications, as well as HMI applications, including variables, mimics, faceplates, attributes, alarms and more. Additionally, by using an approach based upon the ISA 88 methodology and user-defined standards, UAG ensures consistency in accordance with planned standards and specifications. This is further enhanced by the use of reusable objects in both the PLC application and the SCADA software package. The reusable objects can either be those included in the extensive library or may be customer PLC function blocks and graphic objects for the SCADA platform. The platform also reduces development time so the system is commissioned and in production sooner. Headquartered in Palatine, Ill., the North American Operating Division of Schneider Electric had sales of $2.8 billion (U.S.) in 2005. The North American Operating Division is one of four operating divisions of Schneider Electric, headquartered in Paris, France, and markets the Square D, Telemecanique and Merlin Gerin brand products to customers in the United States, Canada and Mexico. In the United States, Schneider Electric is best known by its flagship Square D brand, with Telemecanique becoming increasingly known in the industrial control and automation markets and supported by many Square D distributors. For 100 years, Square D has been a market-leading brand of electrical distribution and industrial control products, systems and services. Schneider Electric is a global electrical industry leader with 2005 sales of approximately $14.5 billion (U.S.). |
