Communication
and monitoring system installation for generating
setsofthe
Central Motorway
inChile
The
Central Motorway Concessionary Company
(SICE), seeking to obtain a communications and
remote monitoringsystem for the generating
sets, has
integrated the
LOVATO Electric RGK60 controllers,
obtained through DARTEL.
This project began at the end of last year with
consultations and
evaluations related to
the technical capabilities of
the RGK60 controller. Subsequently, basic
communications tests
between the RGK60 controller
and a PLC,
supplied by a third party, were
carried out with successful results. During
all this work, DARTEL provided
all the assurance as
for endorsement, guarantee, technical advising and fulfillment of
the final objective; DARTEL counted on the
support of LOVATO Electric, Italy, to
accomplish this.
The units were configured and put in service by the Technical Department
of DARTEL, under
the supervision of their Electronic Engineer, Mr.
Gerardo Castro.
An important challenge for the success of
this project, was to coordinatethe answer time for
communications between
the RGK60 and the PLC;to
do this, a
work group, with LOVATO
Electric, DARTEL and SICE, was
set up.
Thanks to this project, the
Central Motorway is now provided with a latest
generation of communications
and monitoring system for all its generating
sets.It is
worth emphasising how
the added
value of this project will maintain
the high level of service
and consent
this motorway to be considered the most modern
freeway of all South America.
For DARTEL, this
achievement confirms
the company commitment to
provide solutions that satisfy and surpass the
expectations of their customers, extending
their mission beyond being just distributors
of electrical equipment.
