MINERALS AUTOMATION STANDARD Siemens

Обзор



The MINERALS AUTOMATION STANDARD is a process control system based on CEMAT and designed with the specific requirements of the mining industry in mind. It combines cement plant automation functions, developed over more than 35 years, with the automation functions typically required for mining applications.

Like CEMAT, the MINERALS AUTOMATION STANDARD also uses the modern SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system, with its open and flexibly scalable architecture, as its system platform. This means that it also benefits from the innovative Advanced Process Library (APL), which takes the experience gained by configuration engineers and plant operators over many years and transforms it into an excellent range of basic functions that have an attractive design and are extremely easy to use.

Building on this, the MINERALS AUTOMATION STANDARD optimizes both the operating philosophy as well as the diagnostics, signaling, and interlocking concept by using industry-specific software packages for the specific tasks that take place in the mining industry.

The functionality for the mining industry supplied in the form of the MINERALS AUTOMATION STANDARD software packages is integrated into the system structure of SIMATIC PCS 7 during the installation, and can be classified as follows:

  • Engineering components with function block libraries specifically tailored to the mining industry
  • Automation components for open-loop/closed-loop control with communications components for the controller connection
  • HMI components with:
    • Redundancy and archiving functions
    • Library for all control system objects with information, diagnostic, and multimedia dialogs
    • Alarm system with industry-specific service functions
    • Diagnostic system for fast recognition of faults and reduction of downtimes
    • Additional functions such as signal tracking and signal status information
    • APL-style design
  • Web-compatible visualization of process displays and faceplates
  • Management information: listing and statistics functions as well as long-term archiving
  • Technological interfaces for linking technological add-on modules which are not part of the MINERALS AUTOMATION STANDARD product spectrum (as well as products from other manufacturers)

Message display with sector-specific information and message selection area

It is especially worth noting the extensive multimedia support, e.g. by means of:

  • Video sequences for operating and service personnel
  • Showing of pictures in process screens
  • Integration of AutoCAD drawings (DXF format)
  • Integration of plant plans
  • Context-sensitive provision of information depending on place and time

Object-based information area with I/O information
