HOW OPENIQ SCADA WORKS

A More Predictable Path from Design to Commissioning

OpenIQ SCADA replaces an unnecessarily repetitive engineering process with a structured and repeatable delivery model.

Start a Project Review
01

Define the Project

The process begins with a structured review of the project's approved information. Missing or changing information is identified early so it can be addressed before it creates a commissioning delay.

02

Select the System

OpenIQ SCADA selects the appropriate GridLink system based on the project size, equipment, control requirements, utility interface, and long term operating needs.

03

Configure the Application

Supported equipment templates and structured project information are used to develop the project configuration.

Device communications
Data points
Operator displays
Alarms
Historical data
Network settings
User access
Utility telemetry
Plant controller interfaces
04

Assemble and Validate

The physical system is assembled and provisioned under a defined process. Hardware, networking, software, and project configuration are reviewed before shipment.

05

Complete Factory Testing

The system goes through defined factory testing to verify the configuration, communications, documentation, and applicable project requirements.

06

Ship to the Project

The application ready system is packaged and shipped to the project site for installation by the EPC or qualified installer.

07

Commission the System

OpenIQ SCADA supports startup, communications verification, system testing, site acceptance, and grid integration within the contracted scope.

08

Support the Operating Asset

Once the project is operating, FleetWatch can provide continued monitoring, system health visibility, remote diagnostics, reporting, and support.

WHY THIS PROCESS MATTERS

Controls represent only one portion of a renewable energy project, but controls problems can delay commissioning and commercial operation. A standardized process helps project teams:

Identify missing information sooner
Reduce repetitive engineering
Clarify responsibilities
Improve factory testing
Simplify site installation
Reduce commissioning uncertainty
Maintain better system documentation
Support future projects with the same architecture
