The electric valve actuator contract of a major Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) project has been awarded to AUMA by the city of Monterrey, Mexico. As a software application programme for process control, SCADA gathers data in real-time from remote locations and controls both equipment and operating conditions. The SCADA initiative represents a major upgrade operation by Monterrey for its water distribution system and automation plays a key role in this project. Over 100 existing valves and gates have been motorised and AUMA electric actuators were selected for this application by end-user Servicios de Agua y Drainaje de Monterrey. AUMA’s modular actuators were chosen for their watertight, robust and compact design. AUMA products were also preferred for their user-friendly operational features that include multi-pin plug and socket cable connector and motor controls with direct PLC interface.
