EXPERIENCE
As Consultant (January, 1986 to present date):
For PETROBRÁS (Brazilian large Oil and Gas company):
- Development of Windlass Data Acquisition and Trending System for the PETROBRÁS P-X Platform, using Cimplicity SCADA and VersaMax CLPs, with QuickPanel IHMs, on an Ethernet TCP / IP Network.
- Development of a Truck Loading Supervisory Control System integrated to the Plant DCS, billing and e-commerce corporate systems, for REDUC (Refining plant at Rio de Janeiro State), based on GE-Fanuc CIMPLICITY SCADA software, GE-Fanuc 90-30 PLCs, ABB-Bailey DCS Conductor NT Consoles, and Oracle Data Base. The main network connecting the Oracle Server to eight workstations is a dual 100Mbps Ethernet TCP-IP based, with Nortel switches and Router. The connection between the two PLCs is a point-to-point Genius network. The connection between the CLP and the DCS is serial ModBus. For all networks, segments are implemented with optical fiber (single mode or multimode, depending on the distances), and using electro-optical converters RAD, Weed and BlackBox (depending on the network).
- Installation and start-up of an ultrasonic flow measurement KROHNE device. The instrument indication device is an IBM-PC compatible panel-mounted microcomputer, MS-DOS based, with KROHNE proprietary application software, and communicating with the instrument transmitter through a point-to point RS-485 link (offshore, Campos basin).
- Development of a supervisory control system, based on WonderWware In-Touch SCADA software and Allen-Bradley Series 5 PLCs in an Ethernet TCP-IP network, for two Solar turbo-compressors (offshore, Campos basin).
- Integration of a Hart network to an Allen-Bradley Series 5 PLC, applying an Htnode Hart-ModBus converter, and a Prosoft PLC-5 ModBus Interface. The Hart network is multi-point, with four nodes. The ModBus network is point-to point, local, implemented with a RS-232C cable (offshore, Campos basin).
- Ladder development, Installation and start-up of a supervisory control system based on Genius Blocks connected through a GE-Fanuc Genius network, to an existing GE-Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC. The Operator Stations are MS Windows-NT with WonderWare In-Touch SCADA software, connected to the PLC through an Ethernet TCP-IP network. The system is for two flotation vessels (offshore, Campos basin).
- Ladder development, installation and integration to an existing Supervisory Realflex / QNX system, of an Allen Bradley SLC-500 PLC for valve position monitoring. The PLC is connected to two different Workstations, through two independent point-to-point serial satellite based links, using ModBus protocol.
- Design and development of a eight pipelines supervisory control and flow measurement system based on Realflex SCADA Software QNX Operator Stations, and eight GE-Fanuc 90-30 PLCs. The system is a geographically distributed one, with six PLCs connected in a multi-point GE-Fanuc Genius local network, in one end of the pipelines, and the Operator Stations in remote Control Rooms, at the other end, and also in a Centralized Control Room. The local PLCs network is interfaced to the supervisory Operator Stations, through serial ModBus point-to-point links, each link connecting one gateway in the local Genius network to a serial interface switching device, connected to a pair of prime-reserve Operator Stations. The link is implemented via radio. There are four links, to four different remote Control Rooms. Each pair of prime-reserve Operator Stations is linked by a point-to point Arcnet network.
- Design, implementation and start-up of ladders for 3 Allen-Bradley redundant configuration PLCs, and of the SCADA realtime database and operator displays based on Intellution FIX-DMACS SCADA software, for the pumping stations of REPLAN (PETROBRÁS largest refining plant). The network is a redundant Allen-Bradley DH+, connecting the three PLCs to three Operator Stations.
- Specification of a Control System for a large Lube Oil plant, based on a Fischer and Porter DCS, integrated to Production Scheduling, Statistical Process Control, and Blending Optimization programs.
- Specification and design of a control system for a petroleum products truck loading terminal, integrated to the corporate billing system.
- Feasibility evaluation of the instrumentation and automation system for a phosphate rock processing plant.

For railway companies:
- Technical coordination of the software team for the development of a Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) with two consoles connected to 30 RTUs, for data acquisition and supervisory control of about 3.000 digital points, based on the AccessWare AccessPoint SCADA software. The multipoint serial link used the L&N CONITEL protocol.
For Itaipu Binacional (world's largest hydro generating plant):
- Coordination, at the top management level, of the development team in charge of the Operation Scheduling subsystem of the Plant SCADA System, including the software quality assurance activities.
