We are pleased with the cooperation with iPS Control®. We were provided with a high level of service quality, thanks to which we were sure of the successful completion of the works throughout the entire implementation of the investment” - Technical Director
Investment description:
A complete production line, from the storage of loose and liquid raw materials, unloading of raw materials, their transport, dosing to two mixers, to the transport of prepared semi-finished products to the system of cube-forming presses and then to packaging machines for product packaging.
Effect
- development of an algorithm for dosing ingredients to mixers,
- complete mixer control system, including protection systems,
- system operation is fully automated
- the system carries out the production process itself by combining appropriate transport routes, weighing the appropriate production components and implementing the batch process,
- control system equipped with a formulation and production reporting system,
- the system is connected via a remote VPN connection with the iPS Control® service, enabling immediate reaction in the event of a failure,
- unique technological line,
- explosion-proof design, in accordance with ATEX requirements.
Solutions
- freely programmable controller of the SIMATIC S7-400 family from Siemens,
- a system of distributed inputs/outputs of the ET200S series,
- 13 Micromaster frequency converters controlled via the Profibus network,
- 6 complete weighing systems based on HBM strain gauge transducers and Siwarex CS ET200S series weighing transducers from Siemens,
- digital networks: Profibus DP – actuator layer (input/output modules, frequency converters),
- Ethernet – management and operator layer,
- three Siemens operator panels,
- one WinCC operator station
