PREFACE
This section describes the general functions of DCMS process controls. Information on how to
operate the process line is found in the section for the specific control.
SAFETY INFORM ATION

Read these instructions and the machine manuals carefully, and look at the equipment
to become familiar with the device before trying to install, operate, or maintain it.
PLEASE NOTE!
We recommend that qualified personnel carry out installation, operation, service and maintenance
only. Andritz assumes no responsibility for any consequences arising out of the use of this material. A
qualified person is one who has skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of
electrical equipment and the installation, and has received safety training to recognize and avoid
the hazards involved. BEFORE YOU BEGIN Do, not use this product on machinery lacking effective
point-of-operation guarding.
Lack of effective point-of-operation guarding on a machine can result in serious injury to the
operator of that machine.
Before beginning operational tests, remove all blocks or other temporary holding means used for
shipment from all component devices. Remove tools, meters, and debris from equipment. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
Follow all start-up tests recommended in the equipment documentation. Store all equipment
documentation for future references. Carry out all software tests in real environments. Verify that
the completed system is free from all short circuits and grounds, except those grounds installed
according to local regulations. If high-potential voltage testing is necessary, follow
recommendations in equipment documentation to prevent accidental equipment damage.
Before energizing equipment:
Remove tools, meters, and debris from equipment

Close the equipment enclosure door
Remove ground from incoming power lines
Perform all start-up tests recommended by the manufacturer
Regardless of the care exercised in the design and manufacture of equipment or in the selection
and ratings of components, if improper operation of such equipment is carried out it is possible to
encounter hazards.
It is sometimes possible to misadjust the equipment and thus produce unsatisfactory or unsafe
operation. Always use the manufacturer’s instructions as a guide for functional adjustments.
Personnel who have access to these adjustments should be familiar with the equipment
manufacturer’s instructions and the machinery used with the electrical equipment.
Only those operational adjustments actually required by the operator should be accessible to the
operator. Access to other controls should be restricted to prevent unauthorized changes in
operating characteristics.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your new ANDRITZ DCMS.
The system handles basic control and data of the ANDRITZ Feed & Biofuel processes. It
can collect digital and analog signals from process functions and carry out real-time
control over the process. The DCMS Software is easily operated, widely used industrial software for
the realization of the PLC program, based on ANDRITZ extensive experience within their field of
applications.
NETWORK
The Computer and the PLC is connected via an Ethernet connection.
The A-Scada system is network-based and it is possible to connect more than one
client to the same Server. Client and server do not have to be installed on the same
PC, as long as they are connected through the same network. This allows several operating stations
for controlling the machinery.
SYSTEM OPERATION
HARDWARE INTRODUCTION
The DCMS-C is based on an Allen-Bradley CompactLogix series PLC, which handles all electrical
signals to and from the instruments on the machines. The PLC communicates with a computer with
the Scada system (A-Scada) installed.
A-Scada allows the operator to monitor, operate the process, and also saves production data for
retrieval at any time.
Please see the Design manual for more information about the A-Scada system.
SOFTWARE INTRODUCTION
The control system is preinstalled with PLC program and PC software. The panel PC is installed with
Windows 7 and Zenon 7.11.
ASUPPORT
In need of support, call Andritz. The Andritz technician will use Team Viewer to take over control of
the SCADA PC.
Use the free Ethernet port on the PC to connect the system to the internet. This port is setup for
DHCP and will automatically configure for the local network.
Please call your local Andritz Feed & Biofuel office for support.
See last page in this document for contact info.

GRAPHIC OVERVIEW
The graphic overview is found in the Dryer-Detail tab. It shows the entire installation with all
components indicated. Icons for Motors, switches etc. changes color to show which state they are
in. Motors are red when stopped, green when running, and flashing to indicate an error status.
Switches are green when OK, i.e. in a state which does not prevent operation. A red switch means
it is in a state that prevents operation, and flashing signifies the switch has triggered an alarm.
There are 2 types of Parameter windows:
Process value: The actual process value is indicated.

Set point value: Set point values can be changed to optimize the process.
Example of a Graphic overview:
START – STOP ICON
The Graphic overview also contains the operation buttons for starting and stopping the dryer
equipment.
The control starts each part of the machine in preprogrammed steps that makes sure the machines
start in the correct order.
During steps, the clicked button will blink green. When a sequence is started the button will be
constantly green.
PAGE 5 OF 21
Start: By clicking on the start button the entire dryer starts in sequence if all
conditions for start are fulfilled. The suction fan does not start until all recirculation
fans start. Hereafter the belts start, the bottom belt first. For security reasons the gas
burners do not start until approx. 5 minutes after all fans are in operation. The dryer
is now ready to receive the product
Stop: Stops all machinery components simultaneously.
Preheat: Start the dryer as the “Start” function, just the belts and inlet not starting.
Pause: Pause means that all belts and gas burners stop, while ventilation continues.
The purpose of pause is that you can avoid a "hole" in the layer without stopping
the entire machine, if there is a short intermission in production. If the pause key is
activated before the machine is started, a green frame around the key will flash to indicate that
the dryer at start only starts ventilation and not belt and gas burner. When the dryer then is started -
to pause - the rest can be started by reactivating ”Start”.
Layer rec: Opens the “Layer tracker”

window.
There is 4 different types of flags there
can be set in the tracker.
Info flag: just used to show the operator if

he needs to do different kind of tests
(moisture, density etc.), the flag follow
the product on the belts
Alarm flag: The alarm flag wil folow the
product and when coming to the outlet
of the dryer it wil make an alarm so the
operator can see its now out of the dryer.
Stop flag: When set the dryer will auto
stop when flag is out of the dryer.
Recipe Flag: Set at recipe change, the
the recipe parameter, for the selected recipe will follow the flag thue the dryer.
When clicking on a flag the “Layer Tracker Detail” window

will open, and this window show the information of the
product at the time the flag was set, recipe no., batch no.
& layer height in the dryer.

SYMBOL DESCRIPTION / PROCESS ICONS
In general all setup of icons shown on the screen, can be configured

individual depending on the physical installed components.
This is done during startup from Andritz technician, but possible
to change if further components are installed later.
(For further information see configurations).
Symbols
Energy source: Gas burner Energy source: Heat exchange Fan. Motor running.
Motor: off PID: Automatic controlled. PID: Manual controlled.
Inlet air valve. Digital input: Downstream Digital input: Downstream

signal/Next machine running. signal/Next machine running.

Digital input: High level sensor.
PAGE 7 OF 21
TREND
The DCMS-C has real time and historical trend curves for a large number of variables and more are
added constantly. The trend curve is accessed clicking Trend in the lower tab.
The process values shown as trends depend on the specific machines installed, and may be
adjusted by an Andritz technician, but this table demonstrates the most common ones. Your
specific installation may differ from this description.
On each trend bar there is a scale bar and 2 arrows. The bars fill color indicates the input value of
the variable, the small arrow indicates the Set Point of the process value and the big arrow
indicates the output.
Pressing the Config button of the trend picture, a popup will appear, where you can choose the
trend curves you like to follow “real time”.
Mark the wanted trends (a maximum of

11).
And secondly you can choose to see the
trend curves in a certain time, by selecting
date and time in absolute or relative time.
PAGE 8 OF 21
The zoom option for the trend is possible to view in intervals of 1 min to 6 days, simply by selecting.
Next phase in the trend options is the search function, where you can directly read the parameters
for a certain time.
This is done by pressing the Scan icon.
A popup appears and selecting “stop” the trend lock at its current position and now you have the
possibility to rewind and forward the recorded trends, like any DVD or tape recorder.
Optional you can change the colors of the trends by selecting it. (see marker on top)
PAGE 9 OF 21
RECIPE
The recipe handler makes it possible to create standard recipes for each type of product.
(See the Design Manual for further information)
The values entered in the recipe are the parameters to lead the machine to producing the optimal
product. They will be the indicators for a smooth automatic startup where the requested
temperature and capacity will be reached the best possible way.
The system has programmed PID control loops to automatically raise and adjust the process values
to the requested set points.
The recipe window is selected in the menu bar “Recipes”
To edit a not selected recipe, click “Edit” and the window showing the recipe values is displayed.
To edit / view a selected recipe click on “View Recipe”
To select a Recipe click on “Select”
To create a new empty recipe click on “New” then edit the set point values and save the recipe
and the new recipe is created. (Only available for the PROG user)
To use the “Save As” function, click on a recipe so it’s highlighted and click on “Save as” and the
selected recipe will be saved whit the recipe number and name keyed in the save form.
To delete an recipe highlight a recipe and click on “Delete” & click ”OK” on the Delete warning
popup window.
Examples and explanations of the parameters on the following pages…
