Performance audit brings immediate dividends
In January 2003, California Steel Industries purchased a Millcheck rolling mill shape performance audit for its five stand cold mill at Fontana, California, USA.
The scope of supply for the two stand cold mill is to replace the existing Mannesmann/Broner "MARAS" control with a new IAS system for HGC/AGC and automatic flatness control.
The scope for the three stand tandem hot mill is again to replace the existing Mannesmann/Broner "MARAS" control with a new IAS system performing HGC/AGC, along with interstand tension control.
Both control upgrades involve replacing the existing Motorola CPUs with Intel PCs on VME while maintaining the existing I/O cards and interface.
The control code upgrade involves replacing the Sun/Unix based "MARAS" development system with IAS's Windows based IOWorks graphical development/maintenance environment using ladder logic and function blocks running on VXWorks-based real-time Intel CPUs.
All engineering design, project management, installation assistance, commissioning and operator/maintenance training will be from IAS's offices in Pittsburgh, PA.
