Progea Movicon SCADA Delivers Flexible Low Cost Way to Cut Facilities Management Costs at Italy’s Largest Shopping Mall

Products 4 Automation’s Movicon™ SCADA is providing an open, flexible & low cost way to cut facilities management costs at the Leonardo Shopping Centre, near Rome, the biggest and most modern in Italy. The Movicon platform is delivering the benefits of centralised monitoring of assets to facilities managers at the Centre, enabling the integration and monitoring of building features such as climate, lighting, heating, electrical distribution and many more.
The Leonardo Shopping Centre covers an area of almost 100,000 sq metres, housing a hypermarket and 210 shops on two floors. The two entities, shops and hypermarket, have independent systems engineering; each one controlled and supervised by two supervisory PCs using Movicon Scada/HMI with connected subsystems.
The various subsystems are connected through supervisory workstations, which are linked through three distinct buses. The heating control systems use a LON network; the air conditioning systems use a Modbus network; and the illumination and distribution systems use a PLC on a Profibus network. Each subsystem is connected to the Movicon supervisor, where information is brought together through fieldbuses.
