Mitsubishi Adroit Process Suite
A revolution in
Automation Engineering
This single integrated package takes users
through all the phases of process design,
engineering design, control system design,
installation, commissioning, acceptance
testing and ongoing maintenance; help-
ing to maintain consistency and integrity
within an automation system, improving
quality and reducing costs.
Standards
In process applications where Mitsubishi
Electric PLCs are mixed with SCADA solu-
tions from South African market leader
Adroit Technologies, MAPS provides a
structured approach to life-cycle engineer-
ing. It provides a standards-based approach
that reduces the time and effort in automa-
tion project development, testing and com-
missioning phases, with pre-defined and
user configurable PLC function blocks and
associated SCADA graphics, based on the
MAPS Life-cycle engineering international S88 and S95 standards.
Reporting
Another major shortfall of traditional inte-
gration tools is the generation of reports.
With MAPS, reports covering areas such as
I/O schedules, PLC and SCADA tag configu-
ration can be automatically generated. This
automatic report generation ensures that
the project on handover also reflects the
“as built” up-to-date electrical and instru-
mentation drawings that are aligned to the
SCADA tags and PLC I/O. The reports are
database driven, so even through on-going
maintenance the reports will always reflect
the current status of the electrical and
instrumentation configuration.
Documentation
MAPS also helps to ensure that project doc-
umentation is kept up to date. Throughout MAPS Wizard screen

upgraded or modified over time, MAPS
