• HISTORICAL TRENDS
• WHOLE CAMPAIGN MEMORY CAPACITY
• ALARM MANAGEMENT (INCLUDED; THROUGH MOBILE AND E-MAIL)
PLC – DCS ARCHITECTURE
• MOST PREFERRED PLC OR DCS BRAND PLATFORM AVAILABLE
• REDUNDANT PLC AVAILABLE
Control systems focused on key-performance factors to grant:
- High conditioning level in terms of temperature profile and homogeneity
- Glass quality to the forming machinery
- Pack-to-melt efficiency
- Minimum energy consumption and operation cost
- Low polluting emission
- Forehearth life-time
- Elaboration of trend process
The System allows effective, reliable control and recording of real time or historical data during the whole furnace or forehearth campaign. Automatic heating and cooling on each forehearth zone grants a continuous monitoring and temperatures control.
Flexible automation configuration to match different Customer’s requirements:
- Stand-alone control system based on independent single loop controllers (typical application for single fore hearth)
- P.L.C. based for single or multi fore hearth installation
Flexible application
- Full supply or integration with best-known PLC brands.
- Integration with glass plant Supervision via SCADA system (Supervisory and Data Acquisition) – Forehearths – Batch house – Forming area – Cold-end – Whole production process
The application of a SCADA acquisition system creates a multi-terminal network for a fast access to required information and grants a constant overview of:
- Process
- Centralized controls
- Historical
- Trend
- Correlation between different areas of the plant process
Access from different places and hierarchies levels is available to ensure proper flexibility and safety managing.
