Control System

Automated pigging systems need a control system for the control of the various steps of the pigging operation.

This is effected by an "SPS" (stored programme system), which is often known to as a PLC controlled system.

The status of all staions and the position of the pigs can be controlled throughout the whiole plant operational process/procedure.

The single elements of the pigging system can be connected to the control unit either conventionally or via a bus system.

When programming the control system the knowledge of the programmers is most important in order to ensures a smooth pigging process.
