Frequently asked questions

Standards we apply

  • IEC 61511
  • IEC 61508
  • ISA-18.2
  • ISA-95
  • IEC 62443
Hoe lang duurt een typische SCADA-implementatie?

Een standaard SCADA-implementatie van PIL duurt 4 tot 9 maanden, afhankelijk van de scope, het aantal tags, de integratie met bestaande DCS/PLC en de FAT/SAT-tests. Kleine projecten (<2.000 tags) kunnen in 3-4 maanden klaar zijn; brownfield-installaties met migratie van verouderde systemen vergen doorgaans 8-12 maanden.

Welke SCADA-, DCS- en PLC-platforms implementeert PIL?

PIL werkt als multimerk-integrator met de belangrijkste platforms: Rockwell (FactoryTalk, ControlLogix), Siemens (PCS 7, SIMATIC), Emerson (DeltaV, Ovation), Schneider (EcoStruxure), Yokogawa (CENTUM VP), Honeywell (Experion) en open platforms zoals Ignition. De keuze hangt af van de bestaande architectuur en de eisen van de klant.

Kunnen jullie een nieuwe SCADA integreren met bestaande PLC's en DCS?

Ja. Multimerk-integratie is een kernpraktijk van PIL. Wij hebben bewezen ervaring met het migreren van regellussen tussen platforms, met behoud van operationele continuïteit via gefaseerde cutover en validatie met FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) en SAT (Site Acceptance Testing) volgens IEC 62381.

Welke normen past PIL toe in besturingssystemen?

PIL ontwerpt volgens ISA-95 (hiërarchische architectuur), ISA-18.2 (rationeel alarmbeheer), IEC 61511 en IEC 61508 (functionele veiligheid voor SIS) en NAMUR voor de procesindustrie. Alle projecten volgen een gedocumenteerde levenscyclus volgens ISO 9001:2015.

Wat is geavanceerde procesbesturing (APC) en wanneer is het gerechtvaardigd?

APC omvat strategieën die verder gaan dan standaard-PID, waaronder Model Predictive Control (MPC), multivariabele besturing en realtime optimalisatie. Het is gerechtvaardigd bij meerdere operationele beperkingen, kwaliteitsvariabiliteit of een energiebesparingspotentieel >5%. Het verdient zich doorgaans terug in 6-18 maanden in raffinaderijen en petrochemie.

Wat is een digital twin en waarvoor dient het in industriële installaties?

Een digital twin is een virtuele replica die in realtime synchroon loopt met het fysieke activum, met gebruik van SCADA-/historiandata, fysische modellen (CFD, FEA) en machine learning. Het maakt het mogelijk operationele scenario's te simuleren, predictief onderhoud te doen, processen te optimaliseren en operators te trainen zonder de werkelijke operatie te onderbreken.
