Continuous Rolling Mill and Grid with 12 Stands

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.
