Case Study
Teaming Data Systems for Portable Power
• The Challenge Aggreko, a world leader in temporary power and temperature control rental services, deploys large power installations in remote locations. A typical installation might include a set of six generators and a transformer housed in a 40 foot container. A SCADA system monitors and controls the diesel engine sets and various I/O for generators and transformers. The individual generators and transformers also have fire safety systems that use serial interfaces. Additional control components include Allen Bradley PLC® units operating on a MODBUS/TCP protocol, SCADA, serial and Modbus protocols. How do you tie it all together? • The Solution B&B Electronics provided Aggreko with custom panel assemblies that incorporated industrial Modbus Ethernet to serial gateways. Th
