Another Rivulis - Aus & NZ horizontal screen filter squeezed into an existing discharge pipe with a Netafim Australia & New Zealand pressure sustaining valve to keep the pump operating on its curve. 📈

The result?
A happy client, stable system pressures, and a far more efficient pumping system without the need for a complete rebuild. ✅

What could be better?
Maybe only doing it on a Friday afternoon so we can admire it all weekend. 😎

At ProSwitched, we’re constantly asked why we choose and implement IO-Link solutions across our projects — so we decided to build a live demo cabinet showcasing some of our go-to industrial automation and control technologies.

This compact control cabinet measures just 600mm high x 400mm wide x 300mm deep, yet it contains more capability, integration, and scalability than many cabinets over twice the size.

At the heart of the system is an Opto 22 Groov EPIC, paired with:

* Turck FEN20 IO-Link Master
* IFM AL5021 IO-Link Slave
* IFM electronic circuit breaker over IO-Link
* Banner Engineering SD50 display
* Isolated serial communication module

This setup only scratches the surface of what we do across Queensland’s agricultural and industrial sectors.

Our philosophy is simple:
“Do more with less.”

Less wiring.
Less cabinet clutter.
Less engineering complexity.
More diagnostics.
More remote access.
More real-time data.

Using Teltonika networking hardware including the TRB140, RUT140, and TSW202 industrial switch with fibre capability, every connected device can be remotely accessed, monitored, and diagnosed from virtually anywhere.

This demonstration system was developed after a new customer approached us following ongoing issues caused by poor electrical and engineering practices, along with repeated promises that failed to deliver results.

We’re now showcasing how these technologies can be used to operate an entire processing plant while delivering critical real-time data such as cold room temperatures, system faults, and operational alerts through cloud connectivity and MQTT integration.

Even when existing infrastructure includes older analogue sensors or traditional digital I/O, IO-Link allows us to modernise systems without requiring a complete rebuild.

We genuinely enjoy pushing the boundaries of automation technology — especially within Queensland agriculture — because reliable data, scalability, and smart automation are becoming critical in every industry.

⚡ Before & After – Motor Control Cabinet Rebuild

When we arrived on-site, the motor control cabinet had no safety system, no labelling, no wiring diagrams, and major reliability issues.

We completely rebuilt and upgraded the cabinet into a safe, modern, fully networked control system.

What we installed:

✔ Rewired all emergency stops with feedback monitoring using a Schneider Electric XPSMCM safety island
✔ Four TeSys Island motor starters
✔ Five TURCK 8-port masters
✔ Three Schneider Electric EcoStruxure HMIs
✔ Banner T30R radar sensors with level indication on Banner SD50s
✔ Schneider Electric ATV930 VFDs
✔ IO-Link for smart sensors & diagnostics
✔ groov EPIC PLC control
✔ Opto 22 EMU power monitoring

➡️ And that’s not everything — there was a lot more installed to deliver a complete, future-ready system.

Result: Safe. Smart. Reliable. Industry-ready.

At ProSwitched, commissioning is something we take extremely seriously. No application leaves our workshop until it has been fully bench-tested. Below is an example of the lengths we go to before deployment—testing that not only ensures the reliability of every application, but significantly reduces downtime during final site commissioning.
Before delivery we complete:
•Full IP address assignment for every device and program download
•Fault condition checks
•Verification that all devices within the MCCs are communicating correctly
This particular project is for a newly designed macadamia dehusking facility in Bundaberg, Queensland. The system is driven by a Blue Open Studio SCADA platform managing all Ethernet/IP devices, including motor starters, vision, weights, temperature/humidity and all IO-Link devices.
At the core of the control system is an eight-slot Opto 22 Groov EPIC chassis—our first choice for scalable control. The IO-Link network is extensive: 62 IO-Link sensors/devices across ten Turck 8-port masters, with room for future expansion.
Device breakdown includes:
•26 × Turck M12 Temp/Humidity sensors
•4 × IFM panel-mount Temp/Humidity sensors
•7 × Banner T30R radar sensors
•8 × Banner SD50’s
•3 × IFM ECB islands
•6 × Banner CL50PAKQ RGB/siren units
•6 × IFM RB3100 encoders
•2 × IFM AL5021 fly leads
•6 x Schneider-Electric ATV340’s
•21 x Schneider-Electric ATV320’s
Is all of this necessary? For the client, absolutely. One of their primary concerns is avoiding product loss in the event a storage-silo fan fails to respond correctly. To address this, we have built redundancy into the system at every level. With remote access and a Blue Open Studio SCADA interface, both the client and our team receive alerts whenever temperature or humidity values move outside nominal ranges.
To further improve reliability, we’ve incorporated Teltonika TSW202 8-port Ethernet switches, linked between MCCs with a single fibre connection. This reduces noise, ensures equal speeds across all three MCCs, and enables streamlined remote access through a Teltonika RUT140.
We are a true one-stop shop for the design, engineering, and installation of any process application. We’ve even taken the extra step of having our gear plates painted black to improve condition monitoring by reducing reflection. And to make this project even more rewarding, these cabinets were built by our newly signed-on first-year apprentice.
Stay tuned for more updates and progress—there’s plenty more to come.

🚨 Flashing light? Solid light? No idea what your irrigation pump is trying to tell you? Don’t stress – we’ve got you covered.

At ProSwitched, we’ve teamed up with our irrigation partners to turn standard irrigation hardware into fully adaptive solutions. Using IO-Link technology, we’ve transformed a WEG HVAC VFD into a complete pumping process drive with minimal changes – delivering endless reliability and smarter notifications direct from your system.

✅ Integrated monitoring: Running pressures, installation flows, pipe filling status, automation scheduling signals, and fault diagnostics (hydraulic & electrical).

✅ Smart indication: A Banner SD50 scrolling light with RGB illumination gives you instant, at-a-glance pump health status.

✅ Seamless control: A Banner S15 RS485 → IO-Link converter integrates smoothly with the WEG drive.

✅ Precision sensors: Hydraulic monitoring via IFM PV7004 pressure transmitters and Sick FTS calorimetric flow/temp sensors.

✅ Scalable backbone: All connected through a Turck FEN20 IO-Link master, driven by the versatile Opto22 RIO with onboard Codesys – configurable I/O, remote support, and easy expansion.

The result? Next to no downtime, remote access for fault diagnosis and a smarter, more reliable irrigation pumping system – built to grow with your farm.

We’ve already proven this on multiple HVAC irrigation drive retrofits, and the scalability speaks for itself.
