Open Control Systems, the importance of standards
The modern integrated system is one that is open, distributed and encompasses acquisition, control and safety: this event discusses related standards, and how to use openness to maximum effectiveness
Don't get left behind! The first IEE speciality Conference for the water industry was a great success in 2002, bringing together 150 of the industry's control systems practitioners, researchers and suppliers.
This year the event has been extended to two days and will include a buffet in the evening to allow more time for networking and hopefully some entertainment.
The technical programme includes four sessions dealing with developments in tools and architectures, strategy and planning in Scottish Water, telecommunications including an update on a telemetry protocol for the water industry, and a parallel session addressing developments towards XML standards and modelling.
One of the key issues facing water companies is how to justify replacing first generation telemetry systems, how to assess the balance between integrating legacy equipment and making the business case for new investments.
Many companies have got ambitious plans for replacement during the AMP4 period; the Keynote address on the second day will be given by Phil Bland from United Utilities who will provide a view ahead to AMP4 from a control systems perspective.
Phil was one of the pioneers in the successful application of ICA in North West Water many years ago.
A trade exhibition will provide an opportunity to talk to some of the leading vendors and see some of their products.
