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, industrial communications, signals, alarms, operational statuses, and commands associated with the variable-speed drives were verified, confirming their proper integration with the control system and ensuring 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 tests are a fundamental stage in the development of industrial automation projects, as they allow 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. Furthermore, it minimizes on-site commissioning times by resolving potential integration issues in advance.
Behind every commissioning process lies significant work in engineering, systems integration, programming, coordination, and technical validation. This work is essential to ensure that.
