But DAJO Solu�ons have given a Sco�sh �sh freezing plant a second op�on against the expensive and disrup�ve norm. The plant went live in 2002 and replaced the occasional piece of failed hardware with direct swap replacements as needed. But when hardware entered the End of Produc�on phase it was decided that a pro ac�ve approach was needed to minimise down�me, disrup�on and expense. The plant owners asked DAJO Solu�ons to plan and implement the upgrade. A three stage approach was decided on to maximise produc�on �me. It was made possible because the original manufacturer Moeller (now part of EATON) wanted customers to implement a progression plan, rather than ending product lines. In the �rst stage of the plan, 2 Xcontrol Slaves were integrated to the exis�ng PS4 CPU via the SucoNet network as if they were EM4 modules. Enabling the user to carry on using their Fix32 SCADA system to control and monitor the plant, whilst giving the capability for remote control and monitoring to be added in stage three. Next, control of the liquid pump system was improved, again using the PS4CPU via the SucoNet network and Fix32 SCADA. This �me moving the control of the liquid pumps to the new hardware, but retaining monitoring and se�ngs from the Fix32 SCADA. This also enabled independent control of the liquid pump. This stage of the process signi�cantly enhanced the energy e�ciency of the plant. Finally, control of the Blast Freezing tunnels was upgraded, moving from the central CPU to a new decentralised one. Once all the tunnels were upgraded, the PS4 CPU was replaced. In this stage, a new Ethernet network was also installed, and a new Visual Designer SCADA solu�on replaced the Fix32 SCADA. The new network also allowed remote monitoring and ‘tweaking’ from o� site, again reducing overall costs and improving solu�on serviceability.
