AUTOMATION OF DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM

 AUTOMATION OF DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM


Proper dust collection and air filtration is important in any work space.  Every steel plant can have it’s own industrial releases, that can be hazardous. In today’s scenario, air pollution and it’s treatment is a major issue in this industry. The large scale furnaces release huge amount of light weighted particles. The casting takes place by melting the iron/steel into liquid and pouring them into moulds which have cavities of desired shapes. The polishing and shaping of the casts forms dust in large amount.
Thus treatment of these unwanted dust particles has to be carried out as they cause big environmental problems.

OUR SOLUTION

COTMAC worked along with OEM to offer automated solution for Customer’s Ash handling systems. We installed centralized PLCs at three remote stations. IO count was more than 1500. All stations communicate through Fiber optic cable in kilometers range.

BENEFITS TO CUSTOMER

• Reduction in dust emission in environment.
• Troubleshooting was simple and faster due to SCADA.
• Reduction in manpower and operation cost due to centralized operation.
• Easy commissioning and diagnostic.
• Improved Powder conveying and storage efficiency due to better control.

Today Cotmac Electronics is ranked among the best of Automation Solution Providers across the globe.

                               S7-1500 PLC

Siemens has designed S7-1500 advanced controller to have new features, with increased Security options, SIMATIC safety, integrated drives & motion control, Diagnostics color display, I device functionality, creating user defined web pages.

 

Innovative features of S7-1500 PLC

Use of 1500 controller ensures highest efficiency, and maximum usability for medium and high-end applications in machine and system automation.

Diagnostics Display

Main aggregate of 1500 PLC is troubleshooting through color display

S7-1500 PLC provides Color display for easy access to detail diagnostics.  User need not to go in software option for checking error. This will reduce the time required to diagnose the problem by providing complete plant transparency.

User can do many more settings in display of 1500 PLC like setting IP address of the hardware device,

Security

S7-1500 has facility to protect the display so that unauthorized person will not be able to access the PLC Program & parameter settings.

Safety

To meet the evolving needs of various industries fail-safe versions of the controllers are used that will better enhance every production process. Fail-safe CPU’s execute both standard programs and safety program as well. So need for separate safety PLC’s is eliminated.

STEP 7 language innovations

Only limited languages are supported by predecessors of 1500 but in 1500 Controller total 11 languages are supported for programming as well as for color Display.

Potential Bridges:

Integrated Potential bridges for flexible potential group formation reduces the wiring cost.

Shared Device Functionality

One I/O device can be shared by more than one controller for e.g. A Drive and a safety controller can share one IO device. One interface is sufficient for both clock-synchronous control of the drive and fail-safe communication.

Industrial Automation continuously demanding fast response time of the system in order to increase production efficiency & to reduce downtime of the Plant.

S7-1500 is the best solution to achieve all those requirements by providing response time less than 900 micro second.

By keeping in mind characteristics of 1500 PLC COTMAC Knowledge center has designed Special training module for S7-1500 PLC.
