| Hardened Ethernet switches serving the environment The Lynx range of WESTERMO Ethernet switches has been selected to manage the monitoring, control and supervision data of the Seine Grésillons SIAAP (Paris conurbation inter-departmental sanitation agency) plant in Yvelines, to the west of Paris. This is a wastewater treatment plant inaugurated in February 2007 capable of operating with a small number of personnel. The WESTERMO switches have made the difference, thanks to their performance in severe environments, their reliability and their recovery time of less than 20 ms. The Seine Grésillons treatment plant is one of the most modern in the world. In the event of an alarm, the technicians can connect locally at any point of the network by wire or WiFi link to the same production management interface to obtain an initial diagnosis. The entire plant is managed by a redundant ring Ethernet network. All production data are fully archived and stored in real time. At weekends the plant operates with on-call personnel only. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
