Involvement A Telemetry system was provided to allow communication between Night Cap and the Wilsons River Pump Station.

Control Equipment: Omron PLC’s and HMI’s, Device Net, Ethernet and Citect SCADA.


Project Title: KAWANA WATERS POLLUTION CONTROL WORKS UPGRADEClient: Caloundra City Council #860

Description: MPA designed and constructed the main switchboard (50 kA fault rating, 2000A capacity, 415v), generator switchboard, three ATS circuits and the main distributor boards. The project involved a complete electrical distribution system design which incorporated nine new switchboards. It also included 40 analog instruments and 18 VSD’s ranging from 1 kW to 132 kW. The VSD’s were controlled by PLC using PID control for numerous processes. This project included complete electrical design, Siemens PLC and Citect SCADA system programming, site commissioning and training.

Control Equipment: Siemens S5 115U 943B and 8 ET 100 remote I/O.




Project Title: CLEVELAND BAY WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY AUGMENTATIONClient: Enviro-Future Alliance (Water Matters) #12185

Description: Townsville City Council (CitiWater) augmented their existing WTF by installing two new Membrane Reactors. MPA provided the majority of switchboard manufacture, PLC and SCADA supply, programming, and commissioning services for this project.

MPA supplied, programmed, and commissioned the PLC and SCADA system for all plant items except HST Blowers, Membrane Reactors, and Biosolids

Plant, however it was required to provide an interface with these items.

The plant control system comprises four S7 315-2PN/DP PLCs, two S7 317- 2PN/DP PLCs, three 315-2DP PLCs, two Citect SCADA I/O Servers, and two

Citect SCADA Clients. All plant PCs and PLC CPUs are interconnected by a Gigabit Redundant Ethernet backbone network over fiber optic.

MPA supplied programmed and commissioned six MCCs, five stand-alone VSD Cabinets, and 5 PLC control cubicles. Across these there are 35 Electronica-Santerno VSDs, eight ES Regenerative VSDs, and three Siemens SIMEAS-P power meters, all communicating on a redundant Fibre-Optic/ Copper Profibus network at 1.5Mbps. The power meters monitor voltage, current, power, power factor, and total kWh in each of the MSBs. A remote access laptop was configured to dial-in to the Citect SCADA server using redundant Analogue Modem/Routers for monitoring the process.

Control Equipment: 3 x Siemens S7 315-2PN/DP PLCs, 21 x ET-200M Remote I/O Stations, a

Citect SCADA client (final configuration by MPA), x4 Siemens X408-2 Gigabit Ethernet Switches, Electronica-Santerno VSDs, ES Regenerative VSDs communicating on a Fibre-Optic Profibus Network at 1.5Mbps.
