WEFTEC Report: Emerson Unveils New Automation Technologies

Emerson introduced the most recent evolution of the Ovation compact controller and a new playback recorder for plant operational data during WEFTEC in Chicago. The compact controller (Model OCC100) product line is a non-redundant controller with a small footprint designed for the water and wastewater industry. A suite of communication protocol software and wide-area networking technology reside in the controller, reducing complexity and giving small- and mid-sized municipalities a cost-effective way to boost reliability and control geographically dispersed equipment. It is well-suited for applications where redundancy may not be needed. Examples include reservoir monitoring, gravity filtering, disinfection, tertiary treatment
