For Pivotal Engineering, the Balranald Project has been a flagship opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities in large-scale control system integration.  The large number of mobile mining components together with the numerous operating configurations created a number of challenges.  In summary, the control system consists of PlantSCADA communicating with a total of 23x M580 PLC’s via OPCUA, which in-turn communicate with over 30 vendor equipment interfaces.
