Keokuk Municipal Water Works replaced a proprietary HMI system with ICONICS GENESIS32 to monitor 1,500 digital and 225 analog tags from Allen-Bradley PLCs, Rotork valves, and analytical instruments. The system uses TrendWorX32 and AlarmWorX32 modules connected via OPC and Modbus to provide real-time visualization, alarm logging to SQL Server, and browser-based access across the facility. The upgrade improved data visibility and eliminated downtime during migration from the legacy 16-bit platform.

Key takeaways

GENESIS32 replaced a stand-alone proprietary HMI with OPC-based integration to Allen-Bradley PLCs and field devices.

TrendWorX32 and AlarmWorX32 deliver SQL Server logging and browser access for 1,725 total tags.

Modbus and OPC interfaces connect Rotork valves, Hach analyzers, and Toshiba drives without process interruption.

Migration from GENESIS for Windows 3.5x to GENESIS32 6.x completed with zero downtime using 16-to-32-bit graphics translator.

System supports continuous monitoring of clarification, filtration, disinfection, and high-service pumping operations.
