Scada Based Fire Fighting System Installation
A PC-based SCADA system has been used to upgrade a fire behaviour training rig at Staffordshire Fire & Rescue Services Headquarters. This is used to show fire fighters how fire spreads through buildings, where temperatures build up fastest and which parts can be expected to remain relatively cool.The control system monitors the temperature within a number of training rigs to drive read outs that display the temperature at a number of different points in a burning building.It also logs readings to a real-time archive and sounds an alarm if the temperature in any area approaches a defined safety level. The rigs can be used individually or integrated to simulate a larger fire.At the heart of the control system is a PC-based Progea Movicon SCADA operator interface station, which is located near the training rig in a classroom environment. This was supplied through Progea’s UK representative P4A (Products4Automation) to systems integrator S&H Systems Design and Installation Ltd, who managed the upgrade project. Has supplied Movicon SCADA systems to many different applications, from the traditional industrial process industries, to dairies, distilleries and other food and beverage plants.
