The team from Ingemation Ingeniería’s Integration and Control Department is participating in a new phase of iFAT (Integrated Factory Acceptance Test) testing in Aranda de Duero (Burgos), as part of a major project in the renewable energy sector.
During these validation sessions, the industrial communications, signals, alarms, operational statuses, and commands associated with the variable-speed drives were verified to ensure their proper integration with the control system and to guarantee the correct exchange of information between the various automation devices. In total, the operation of 244 variable-speed drives was successfully verified, with all of their signals and operating commands checked.
iFAT testing is a critical step in the development of industrial automation projects, as it allows for the validation of the joint operation of the various subsystems prior to on-site commissioning. This process facilitates the early detection of potential issues in a controlled environment, reducing risks and ensuring safer, more efficient, and more reliable operation. Additionally, it helps minimize on-site commissioning times by resolving potential integration issues in advance.
Behind every commissioning project lies a significant amount of work involving engineering, systems integration, programming, coordination, and technical validation. This work is essential to ensure that all equipment operates in sync from day one and that the system performs in accordance with the project requirements.
At Ingemation Ingeniería, we continue to support our clients through every phase of their projects, drawing on our expertise in industrial automation, control systems, systems integration, PLC programming, SCADA platforms, and technological solutions for the industrial and renewable energy sectors.
