is an automation systems and controls engineering firm which provides automation engineering services encompassing: Systems Integration Electrical, Instrumentation and Controls PLC, HMI and SCADA Software Development Functional Safety Evaluation Custom Industrial Machines Complete documentation services including Electrical Schematics, Panel Layouts, System Layouts, Network Diagrams, P&ID and Operator Manuals Automation Systems Design Pinnacle Automation designs automation control systems for new equipment, process lines, equipment modernization projects and retrofits. These control systems can start with a programmable logic controller (PLC) or personal computer controlling a single machine or small process. The control systems can include high speed data collection, recipe based batch processing, and fully integrated computer networks to schedule production, communicate with plant business systems, store critical production data, and provide reporting for data analysis. Pinnacle Automation basic control systems have touch screens for manual and automatic control functions, fault screens for diagnostic display, and can be supplied with PLC based recipes or batching systems. Our engineering background spans automation control systems from small bench top testing equipment to complete extrusion feed-line, press, exit handling, finishing systems, heating equipment and coating lines. www.pinnacle-automa on.com [2]
From Concept... At Pinnacle Automation, automation control system engineering begins at the plant floor with an evaluation to determine safety and production requirements. Once personnel safety and production needs are determined, a control type PLC, embedded controller or personal computer can be selected. Functional safety devices are integrated into the control design from the onset of the project so that you can be assured that personnel safety has been addressed and process integrity is maintained. Standard off the shelf components are used whenever possible to provide a control system that can be easily maintained for years after the initial purchase. Every Pinnacle Automation control system is fully documented including complete system electrical schematics, network drawings, P&ID (for process industry), computer setup documentation, annotated PLC control programs, HMI programs and conduit & cable schedules to support your control system in-house maintenance. Computer Based HMI and SCADA Systems If your process requires more than basic equipment control, Pinnacle Automation can provide personal computer based Human Machine Interface (HMI) and Supervisor Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) packages with software including Rockwell Software FactoryTalk View and Siemens WinCC. These HMI packages permit detailed graphical displays modeled after your equipment or process that intuitive graphical user interface view of critical process variables. HMI screens can also be configured for bilingual operation. The HMI at the Operator Station can utilize pictures or drawings of the actual equipment to show the location of problems as they occur. Diagnostic displays can include in-depth troubleshooting guides along with hydraulic and electrical schematics. The software can provide data logging and the ability to generate on-screen trends of provide operators an selected process variables. With plant network connectivity, operators and plant floor supervisors, as well as managers can have a detailed window into the process from any network connected computer. Access can also be extended to desktops via web browser and even to hand-held devices for mobile access, which can be a huge time savings for maintenance personnel. www.pinnacle-automa on.com [3]
... To Project Realization Once your control system has been designed, our in-house manufacturing begins. We can build PLC control panels, AC or DC drive panels, junction boxes, solenoid panels, operator stations, HMI panels, control consoles and small custom industrial machines. Once the manufacturing process is complete, the entire system is powered up and tested to verify proper operation of all hardware and software components. The test results are then compared to the original design criteria for compliance. This manufacturing concept ensures technical continuity from concept to commissioning and into production on your plant floor. Support We believe in forming partnerships with our customers based on a foundation of trust and dependability. This is why we offer services designed to minimize downtime, helping to keep our customers productive and competitive. Our services include onsite supervision, training, and commissioning, as well as phone support. During each phase of the project, your operations and maintenance personnel will have the opportunity to learn every detail of your new control system. They can be trained in formal classroom sessions or provided On the Job training. Our more sophisticated control systems allow Pinnacle Automation access over the Internet for troubleshooting, modifications, and upgrades. The Pinnacle Automation engineering and software team that designed your control system will be the same team that will commission the controls in your facility. But the support will not end there. After the control system is operating satisfactorily, we will continue to be available for future support if needs arise. www.pinnacle-automa on.com [4]
