250 SCALA

Ergonomics

Putting people first in control centre systems - this is the watchword for 250 SCALA. Users benefit from:

• Ergonomic design
• Simple engineering

A major point in favour of the user interface is its simplicity which enables even operators unfamiliar with the workplace to find their way around it intuitively.

Our logo eye for 250 SCALA expresses the simple elegance of this solution. The operating procedures are taken in at a glance and the environment instinctively understood, leaving the user free to focus on essentials.

Scalability

Thanks to its scalability 250 SCALA can adapt to the needs of every market sector. The product line ranges from stand-alone single workplace systems to redundant compact versions and distributed client-server configurations. The latter are available with Windows or Unix as the server operating system, to provide the desired performance for all applications.

Functionality

As a scalable system, 250 SCALA can provide the precise functionality required to meet your automation challenges. Customized solutions are supported by well tried, standardized functions, including:

• Process visualization
• Alarms
• Archiving
• Reports and logs
• Graphs
• Formulas
• Redundancy
• Telecontrol links
• Online parameter setting

Using these basic functions as a starting point, we have designed off-the-shelf market sector solutions that can be further simplified by standardizing the engineering and the operating procedures.

Market Sector Solutions

• Integrated station automation systems (HELIOS)
• Integrated automation systems for hydro power plants (NEPTUN)
• Systems for municipal utilities (gas and water)
• Distribution network management systems (NM)
• Energy management systems

Powerful extension packages are available as options to the standard 250 SCALA solutions: sequences of commands, topological colouring and interlocking, and a graphical scheduling module. For power networks we provide network calculation (e.g. state estimation, power flow, short circuit calculation). GIS interfacing enhances facility management utilization. And we have responded to the trend towards flexible energy supply contracts by providing an energy management system.

Long-term Continuity

Our uncompromising commitment to innovative technologies and compliance with internationally recognized standards permits the use of modern system components whilst retaining proven, stable basic functionality - and outstanding value for money.
