Services
Western States ControlsFeasibility Studies
Develop appropriate control system solution based upon client requirements. This could include Scope of Work and budgetary analysis information.
Control System Specifications
Generate detailed specifications for control system procurement and evaluation.
Control Panel Design
Design and fabrication of control panels required for plant operation. DCS/PLC Configuration – programming and testing of distributed control systems and/or programmable logic controllers.
HMI Configuration
Programming of “human/machine interface” software. Generation of graphic & trending displays, logging & reports, plant performance calculations and interface of the “process floor” to hierarchy business systems.
Data Concentration & Analysis
Connectivity solutions to link multiple vendor automation products seamlessly as if they were all from the same vendor. Data reporting and analysis.
Installation
Electrical and/or mechanical installation of all control systems components. Management of installation contractors.
Modifications
Updating, replacing, trouble-shooting existing plant control systems. Training – plant specific controls training, general process control training(flow, level, pressure, temperature, controllers, etc.)
Custom Software
Custom software, system interfaces, custom protocols
Control Strategy Development
Develop Process & Instrument Diagrams(P&ID) to determine the appropriate control system solution. This could include written control system descriptions for further system definition.
Control Equipment Specifications
Generate control system hardware specifications based upon process requirements.
DCS/PLC Configuration
