TCS® AUTOMATED SOLUTION

TCS® System installation

  • Pressure transmitters: one for each pipeline section

  • Precision data acquisition with hansaconsult high performance AD Converter and transmission system;

  • Means for pressurization and depressurization of each pipeline section to create required test pressures (main pump, jockey pump);

  • SCADA system for automatic control of the hydrant system. It is recommended that the SCADA system provide an OPC interface (OLE for Process Control) for communication;

  • Computer and peripheral equipment for evaluation and documentation of test results;

  • Tight closing valves (e.g. DBBV).

OPC to standardize data communication

TCS® is built on Windows Technology and features an OPC-interface. OPC stands for “ole for process controls” and is an open interface standard. OPC allows a standardized data exchange of applications and field instruments with an easy integration of hard- and software products of different suppliers.

TCS® Flexible Testing

  • All sections can be tested in one analysis cycle: 45 minutes plus closure time of valves

  • Single or multiple sections can be be selected and tested in one test cycle.
