Background

A steel plant was producing usable fuel gas for their processes. The project involved:

  • Gas mixing plant automation in the steel line
  • All solenoid valves integration in the system
  • Ratio parameter logic - for mixing ratio parameters
  • Gas mixing logic - proper proportion of mix gas
  • Development of screens

Implementation

  • Simatic Manager 5.5 , WinCC SCADA V7.2 (CPU 400H System)
  • I/O counts: 200 Plus
  • Customized block and faceplate to meet customer requirements
  • Communication between Engineering Station(ES) and Operating Station(OS) through Ethernet

Outcome

  • Reduction in manpower and operation cost due to centralized operation
  • Reduction in maintenance time and cost
  • Data of all parameters logged with limits
