Programmable Automation Controllers For Heat-treating System
A new heat-treating system from Can-Eng Furnaces uses Allen-Bradley ControlLogix programmable automation controllers (PACs) and Integrated Architecture Builder from Rockwell Automation to help its customers reduce programming & startup time, simplify training requirements and increase information sharing capabilities. The new heat-treating system is used by B&W Heat Treating of Michigan to process automotive components such as engine blocks and heads, in its Saginaw, Michigan, facility. The ControlLogix controller with its multi-disciplined control, versatility & exceptional information processing capabilities enable the system to handle everything it needs to do, including multiple PID loops and part-tracking capabilities. The Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PAC is responsible for control of the furnace, conveyor panel & aging oven, and transfers information to and from the heat treating operation to a central server for information storage, archiving and retrieval. The controller also meets the customer's needs for a system that is capable of providing traceability and easy access to information. The Integrated Architecture Builder software provides an exact blueprint of how to design, program and set up the new system. With the ControlLogix PAC, B&W is able to implement a system that includes complementary control, communication and visualization, resulting in horizontal and vertical plant-wide integration, increasing productivity, reducing labour costs and simplifying the training. Can-Eng Furnaces also has reaped significant benefits from the use of the ControlLogix platform, including a 50 per cent reduction of programming & system design time, and a 20 per cent reduction of startup time.
