Quickly review all the information about our blog posts from yesterday to today.
12-Stand Continuous Mill and Grid that we put into operation in 2023:
• Commissioned using Allen-Bradley CompactLogix PLC and FactoryTalk View SCADA.
• Siemens AC Drives with Ethernet IP communication were used for relay paths, Cassette, Comb, Chains, Aramakas, Sprint DC Drives with Profibus communication were used for Rolling Stands and Die Shears.
• Monitoring and control were provided with FactoryTalk View SCADA in the Main Tower and Weintek HMI in the Grid Tower.
• Ethernet switches were used for short-distance RIO and driver communications, and fiber optic switches were used for distances of 50 meters and above.
• A Recipe application was prepared using VisualBasic Script via SCADA to store parameters related to drawn products.
• A Reporting system was prepared using Weintek HMI and MSSQL with SQL support for remote access and statistics.
In 2023, we commissioned a 12-Stand Continuous Rolling Line with the following specifications:
• Commissioned using Allen-Bradley CompactLogix PLC and FactoryTalk View SCADA.
• Ethernet IP communication Siemens AC Drives for Relay Lines, Cassette, Comb, Chains, Aramakas, and Profibus communication Sprint DC Drives for Rolling Stands and Reel.
• Monitoring and control provided with FactoryTalk View SCADA and Weintek HMI.
• Ethernet switches for short-distance RIO and drive communications, and fiber optic switches for distances of 50 meters and above.
• A Recipe application was prepared using VisualBasic Script via SCADA for storing parameters related to pulled products.
• A Reporting system was prepared using SQL-supported Weintek HMI and MSSQL for remote access and statistics.
Copper Rolling Automation (November 2022)
A Copper Rolling Machine consisting of two winders/unwinders and a rolling mill motor has been commissioned using:
• S7-1200 CPU
• KTP1200 and KTP400 HMIs
• Sprint DC Drives.
Within the scope of the project:
panel drawings
HMI screen design
Drive communications and parameterization
PLC program development and commissioning were carried out by our team.
The Synchronous Motor Excitation Panel ensures efficient and reliable operation of synchronous motors, which play a critical role in industrial applications, with the right control systems. By controlling the excitation current, it ensures that the motor is started safely and rotates at synchronous speed during continuous operation.
These panels, produced by Vib Automation together with Teori Elektrik, are used in critical processes at İsdemir.
Basic components such as Allen-Bradley CompactLogix PLC, PanelViewPlus HMI and Sprint-Electric DC Drive were used in the panels and single point monitoring was carried out with FactoryTalk View SCADA.
As a solution partner of TAHAS compressor company, several compressed air automation projects have been successfully installed and commissioned. We have implemented PLC-based control systems for turbo compressors, screw compressors and dryers. SCADA systems have been designed for monitoring and controlling the data within the system. Data on SCADA computers are stored in SQL databases, and reporting programs have been developed to generate Excel format reports using these data.
An example project, as seen in the images below, was commissioned using the S7-1500 for PLC and WinCC for SCADA.
As part of the expansion of the previously established Rolling Mill Automation System at Boskay Metal, the Multi-Cutting Project has been carried out:
Parameterization of Drives
Updating of the Panel Project
Preparation and commissioning of PLC/HMI Programs
The project utilized:
Siemens S7-315 CPU
Weintek MT8121XE HMI
Danfoss AC Drives (Profibus Communication)
The automation system controls the automatic and manual operations of the hydraulic pumps (Water Spray Pumps, Water Circulation Pumps, Movement Pumps, Lubrication Pumps) and fans (Transmission Cooling Fan, Hydraulic Cooling Fans) as well as the AC Drives used in the Saw Movement.
In automatic operation, when the desired iron lengths are entered as a set, the Moving Saws precisely position themselves and perform the cutting.
The TPI Phase 1 Vacuum Automation system was commissioned in 2017 by VİB Automation as a solution partner with TAHAS Kompresör. Different stages of composite wind blade production were controlled using S7-1200 PLC, Siemens KTP HMI, and WinCC Scada.
The following were carried out by us:
* Drawing of panel projects
* HMI and SCADA design
* PLC programming
