Wastewater Management
One Kit. One Vendor. One Complete SCADA Solution.
Modern municipal infrastructure requires more than just a PLC—it requires secure connectivity, reliable communications, remote support, and a control system designed to evolve with your community. MICA Technologies' SCADA Kit brings these essential technologies together in a single, pre-engineered solution designed specifically for water and wastewater applications. By eliminating compatibility concerns and reducing engineering effort, municipalities can deploy reliable, cybersecure SCADA systems faster while lowering both installation and lifecycle costs. Backed by MICA's engineering expertise, our SCADA Kit helps you spend less time integrating hardware and more time keeping your water infrastructure operating safely and efficiently.
Cloud VPN and Nexto Xpress are miniature but conventional dinrail mounted equipment which simplifies retrofitting. Included is BCS Tools, a very powerful codesys software. Utilizing the Cloud VPN allows full remote access to Nexto Xpress including remote engineering and remote support. Nexto Xpress allows integration into variable frequency drives, utilizing Modbus TCP and CANbus or OPCUA

Why you should replace your old PLCs with the Nexto Xpress:
Nexto Xpress allows for distribution of control and I/O, where it needs to be, throughout the plant within the junction boxes typically used to land field instruments.
A typical system architecture for a waste water plant:
The PLC is centralized in one group of cabinets and then cables are run up to junction boxes around the plant. The cost of the cable and wires in a plant utilizing this solution can often times exceed the cost of the control system.
If we can reduce the wiring, by distributing the I/O to where it needs to be, the cost of building and maintaining a plant can be decreased significantly over its life.
This integrated solution will provide your operators with the data they need, wherever they are located. Your maintenance staff will have the tools to easily troubleshoot and expand the system, without process interruption. All while reducing your total installed cost.
The solution:
- maximize distribution of control utilizing remote I/O,
- connect all remote I/O junction boxes together via ethernet network,
- integrate the ethernet network into X3 Pro 15 for control interface
- integrate Beijer Cloud VPN for remote operations and maintenance with embedded cyber security
this will vastly help your plant work at its most efficient while saving you money, time, and working hours.

Why Choose Westermo Managed Switches for Municipal Water & Wastewater?
Municipal water and wastewater systems rely on continuous communication between PLCs, HMIs, remote I/O, instrumentation, and SCADA servers. When the network fails, operators lose visibility into critical assets, delaying response times and increasing the risk of service interruptions. Westermo's managed industrial Ethernet switches are purpose-built for these mission-critical environments, delivering the reliability, redundancy, and cybersecurity required to keep treatment plants, lift stations, booster stations, and remote pumping facilities connected 24/7. Their rugged design withstands harsh industrial conditions while advanced networking features ensure your control system remains available even if part of the network experiences a fault.
Unlike commercial networking equipment, Westermo managed switches are engineered specifically for operational technology (OT). Features such as Layer 3 routing, industrial firewalls, IPSec VPNs, rapid network recovery, and secure remote connectivity allow municipalities to build resilient, scalable SCADA networks that are easy to expand and maintain. Whether you're connecting a single pumping station or standardizing communications across an entire municipality, Westermo provides the secure, dependable network backbone that modern water infrastructure demands. At MICA Technologies, our engineers specify Westermo because we know firsthand that dependable communications are just as critical as dependable control.
