SCADA solution for the Control Center of the hydraulic infrastructures associated with the Manzanares River, based on the Wonderware platform.
It consists of a tele-supervision system that provides information on the facilities:
- Gate status
- Flap valves
- Locks
- Pumps
- River levels
- Rain gauges
- Flow measurements
- Water quality measurements
- Piezometers.
- CCTV (Video surveillance)
It also gives remote control orders that allow both remote operation by order of the Control Center operator, and by automated control loops locally, such as gates and flap valves. The system also integrates the CCTV system (closed circuit television).
The user interface incorporates GeoScada functionality through Microsoft MapPoint.
