Up gradation of Level-II Automation System

For largest steel making company in India

Project Overview

Steel Plant is equipped with Process Control VAX Computers at Level-2 and Level-3 Automation levels, which are being used to control the Steel making process to achieve the target bath chemistry and temperature before tapping. Level-2 automation system comprises of Process management system consisting of real time Process Control Computer System with peripherals and system & application software and communication software. Steel melting shop is presently equipped with VAX-3300/3800 Computer systems with VMS operating system at Level-II & Level-III. In order to retain/maintain quality of casting and introduce applications to improve upon the present operational practices wherever feasible, it is proposed to replace the existing L-2/L-3 computer systems with RISC/EPIC based computer servers along with latest software compatible with the offered hardware, with the features available in the present system and any other additional features to improve operational practices.
