Stage 2 of 5 · Control systems

Reliable control at the plant floor.

PLCs, DCS, SCADA and HMIs run the process minute by minute. Working with The Automation Ghana Group (TAGG), we make sure these systems are stable, integrated and able to share data securely with the layers above.

The operating data path

Where this stage fits

Each stage builds on the one before it. Select a stage to explore it.

  1. 05 Decision

    Better decisions at every level.

    Operators respond sooner, engineers find root causes faster, and leadership sees performance across sites with confidence in the numbers.

    • Operators
    • Engineers
    • Leadership

    People

  2. 04 Intelligence

    Information people actually use.

    Data only creates value when the right people can see it clearly.

    • PI Vision
    • Dashboards
    • Operational analytics

    Level 4

  3. Secure conduit

    OT security separates the plant network from the enterprise network and protects the data path between them.

    • Firewall
    • DMZ
    • IEC 62443

    Level 3.5

    Enterprise networkOT network
  4. 03 Industrial data

    One trusted record of the operation.

    The AVEVA PI System collects high-fidelity, time-series data from across your control systems and stores it as a single, reliable history.

    Level 3

  5. 02 Control systems

    Reliable control at the plant floor.

    PLCs, DCS, SCADA and HMIs run the process minute by minute.

    • PLC / DCS
    • SCADA
    • HMI

    Levels 1–2

  6. 01 Plant

    Where operational data begins.

    Every pump, mill, turbine and line generates signals about how the operation is performing.

    • Machines
    • Equipment
    • Sensors

    Level 0

Data rises from the process to the people who decide. Levels follow the ISA-95 / Purdue reference model.

Technologies

What runs at this layer

  1. 01
    PLC and DCSControllers that execute the process logic.
  2. 02
    SCADA and HMISupervision and control for operators, with display design guided by ISA-101.
  3. 03
    Industrial networksProtocols such as Modbus, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and OPC UA; IEC 61850 and DNP3 in power and water.
  4. 04
