Abstract

AUTOMATION OF THE PRODUCTION OF SPONGE IRON BY USING PLC AND SCADA SYSTEMS.

Mallanagowda N.* and Rajashekher Koyyeda

ABSTRACT

In this project, the production of Sponge Iron in an industry is taken into consideration and the entire process involved in the production of Sponge Iron is automated. The process of sponge iron manufacturing involves removal of oxygen from iron ore. When that happens, the departing oxygen causes micro pores in the ore body, turning it porous. When the eventual product is observed under a microscope, it resembles a honeycomb structure, which looks spongy in texture. Hence, the name “Sponge Iron”. Sponge Iron itself having many advantages and application oriented uses, is thus commercially finding its place at the top in Iron Industries. Sponge iron industries are very big and processes involved in the entire production are divided into many sub categories. These are taken into account while automating such industries. Each sub systems are going to have separate Programs when automating. The project is going to involve a programming which is PLC based and written to an ABB PLC (AC500 series, PM590-ARCNET-V14x). Importantly, we are choosing a functional block programming to program the process. The Entire process of automation is going to be demonstrated in an ABB simulation platform which is written in software named „CODESYS?. “Automation” of this process is carried out using Program Logic Control systems (PLC). The PLC is going to be used in many phases in the entire project. The PLC presently is the Heart of Automation and hence, we are using PLC when going to automate this process.
