Products and Abilities 1500ct

The 1500ct is a color touch screen control platform. It can be integrated into new or existing SCADA systems and has serial communication ports to allow for redundant telemetry networks. The 1500ct can be used to control and monitor up to three constant or variable speed pumps in either pump up or pump down mode. There is also a cellular remote control feature that enables operators to receive controller status and acknowledge alarms via cellular text messaging.

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Integration QCI designs SCADA systems that offer true "open architecture". The major benefit of an open architecture structure is system flexibility. SCADA system capability can be extended using products from other manufacturers. These products include:

• Sensaphone • Data Radio • MDS • MISSION Communications

This flexibility provides a significant option to our customers and allows them to combine product "brand" satisfaction with QCI's proven expertise and performance. We have the in-house expertise and tools to provide the associated services that are required for radio based telemetering systems. We provide radio propagation path studies to determine exact specifications for each site. We also provide complete assistance in obtaining FCC licensing. Our experience has covered equipment by most radio manufacturers over the many frequency bands used in our industry including VHF/UHF/900Mhz, 800 and 900MHz Trunking, and Spread Spectrum.

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Integration

Phone: (952) 758-9445 Fax: (952) 758-9661 Website: www.qfsi.net/qci

We have extensive experience integrating most manufacturers' PLC's. We have consistently taken the lead on the more difficult aspects of a control system. These include process control loop definition and diagrams, complete PLC and operator interface programming, communications design, programming and troubleshooting, as well as various data management applications and the data reporting aspects of any given system. Our engineering staff has successfully integrated virtually all major PLC manufacturer's products.

Personal Computer Integration Personnel Computer based Human Machine Interface (HMI) is an important aspect of all the QCI furnished PLC and SCADA systems. We are a registered Wonderware System Integrator. We have implemented many of the most popular third party HMI packages, including the following:

· Wonderware, InTouch · Cimplicity · RS View · Citect

Reporting applications utilize standard Microsoft's Excel for Windows, which enables the reports to be produced in virtually any format. Reports can be generated automatically based on virtually any criteria; examples include: "Shifts" or "Daily", "Weekly" "Monthly" and even on a "Yearly" basis. Data can be automatically collected at a configurable rate and stored in an ODBC compliant database. This data can be manipulated to produce averages, totals, minimum and maximum values, which can be imported into Excel. Government required reports could also be generated using this reporting method. All reports are automatically stored on the system's hard drive for printing out manually and/or automatically.

Pump Control Panels QCI has a control panel shop that is UL rated for 508 (industrial) and 698 (hazardous circuit extension) applications. With these ratings, the design and manufacture of water and wastewater panels can all be done in house.

H2O Client The H2O Client allows for an easy to use, affordable, and profitable means to sell bulk water supplies. Quality Control & Integration has seen an emerging need to produce and dis- tribute an alternative to coin or card operated Bulk Water Vending Systems. Our keypad operated system allows for multiple users to enter a simple PIN code in order to purchase water, saving the hassle and cost of card or coin management. This system also allows a city to preset each client's total amount of water they may draw. In addition to these many fea- tures the H2O Client can be customized to existing structures or can exist as a stand alone unit. For more on the H2O Client please contact us or visit the H2O Client website at www.qc2i.com/h2oclient.
