Power Generation
Sicomp Control System Upgrade.
Upgrade of ageing 1985 control system with 3000+ I/O points through targeted replacement and SCADA integration.
The Challenge
Legacy System Failures
The original 1985 Sicomp control system was becoming increasingly unreliable, threatening plant continuity.
Cost of Full Replacement
A complete system overhaul was impractical due to the scale—over 3,000 I/O points made full replacement cost-prohibitive.
Integration Complexity
Maintaining continuity while upgrading required precise mapping between legacy hardware and modern interfaces.
The Solution
Analysed failure patterns to target only critical components for replacement.
Designed a new interface card to bridge legacy I/O with modern control systems.
Implemented a new SCADA and HMI for improved control and visualisation.
Completed the upgrade without triggering system downtime.
