This provides both short and long-term traceability of the training situations that the trainees have been exposed to. The temperatures, alarms and data relating to the users’ actions are stored locally on the PC and archived to the Fire & Rescue Services’ main server. They, and their highly qualified instructors, can then discuss in detail the different effects of various fire fighting techniques on the temperature at multiple points within a burning building. The archiving is in real-time and coupled with the high-speed graphics, which allows the temperature trends to be replayed back to the trainees straight after an exercise. The software has proved itself for water treatment works and distribution networks, marine man overboard locators, green energy plants, steel mills and automotive plants.Īt Staffordshire Fire & Rescue the Movicon system monitors and records the operating temperatures, displays real-time figures and trend graphs of the temperatures, archives and analyses the readings, and allows configuration of the alarm set-points. P4A has supplied Movicon SCADA systems to many different applications, from the traditional industrial process industries, to dairies, distilleries and other food and beverage plants. This was supplied through Progea’s UK representative P4A (Products4Automation) to systems integrator S&H Systems Design and Installation Ltd, who managed the upgrade project. The rigs can be used individually or integrated to simulate a larger fire.Īt the heart of the control system is a PC based Progea Movicon SCADA operator interface station, which is located near the training rig in a classroom environment.
It also logs readings to a real-time archive and sounds an alarm if the temperature in any area approaches a defined safety level.
The control system monitors the temperature within a number of training rigs to drive read outs that display the temperature at a number of different points in a burning building. This is used to show fire fighters how fire spreads through buildings, where temperatures build up fastest and which parts can be expected to remain relatively cool. A PC based SCADA system has been used to upgrade a fire behaviour training rig at Staffordshire Fire & Rescue Services Headquarters.
