Incheba Expo Park, situated in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, is the nation's principal location for industrial & commercial fairs. The founding of Incheba a.s. was inseparably linked with the initial stages of setting up the 1967 "Exhibition of Chemical Products". This Exhibition was the first of what was to become a tradition of Industrial Fairs in Bratislava, reinforced by the establishment of the joint-stock company Incheba a.s., on November 21, 1989.
Incheba a.s. has subsequently concentrated on exhibition-associated activities, notably exhibition halls and related infra-structure. This forward-looking strategy has created a dependable center, not only for exhibitions, but also for social and other events. The Incheba Expo Park includes 46,600 sq. meters of covered exhibition space, 4,500 parking places and, last but not least, accommodation and catering services available to exhibitors.
The Expo Park displays & events are related to Construction, Tourism, Gastronomy, the Chemical and Automobile Industries, Cosmetics, Fashion, Medical Equipment, and the Arts.
The new SCADA-based control system was installed to provide reliable monitoring & control of the entire Incheba Expo Park facilities. The Slovak company SQS s.r.o. was responsible for installing the control system in the Incheba Tower. 92 SAUTER EY-2400 PLCs , with 306, 307, 308, 406, RSE, RSK, and ECOS processor cards, are deployed throughout the entire Incheba exhibition area. These critical components, together with the Reliance SCADA application, achieve Management’s goals.
The Reliance SCADA/HMI system communicates with 92 SAUTER EY-2400 PLCs, using 3 independent RS-485 communication lines. The Reliance application covers the entire Incheba exhibition area, including adjacent buildings (the Hotel, Incheba Tower, the Boiler Room, etc.).
The Reliance visualization comprises more than 1,000 interactive screens, which – in addition to covering the public areas - include control of four boilers in the Boiler Room, the distribution of central heating water, monitoring of electrical distribution circuits, the air-conditioning system, and control of fire emergency plans.
