Andritz Feed & Biofuel – ECPS Manual

Preface
This manual describes the functionality of the ECPS system and provides thorough instructions about set-
up, operation and troubleshooting of the system.
This manual is created for the ECPS system alone.

Furthermore, this manual gives the reader a general knowledge of Extruded feed production, as well as
comprehensive knowledge about the machines, of which this system will be controlled. The reader is
referred to the mechanical documentation of the relevant machines for any mechanical questions.

Enjoy!

Introduction
The ECPS control is a “Stand alone” system for controlling an extruder line (from prebin to or a part of it.
It is a simple system but with the capability of carrying out advanced automatic instructions.

System Description

The ECPS is based around a PLC, which handles all electrical signals to and from the machines. The PLC
communicates with the B&R 10.4” touch panel PC running Windows XP embedded and Zenon 6.51
SCADA software from Copa-Data (A-SCADA).
A-SCADA allows the operator to monitor, operate the process.

The Panel pc and PLC is connected via an Ethernet connection and it is therefore possible to add it to a
Local network and/or an internet connection so that remote support is possible.

Terminology

Absolute Interlock An absolute interlock is a safety interlock which can not be


bypassed in the PLC software.
Group The plant is divided into technological groups which represent a
functional unit within the plant.
Hard wired interlock A hard wired interlock is an electrical interlock without PLC
software influence.
HMI Human Machine Interface (Operation Terminal)
Limited Interlock A limited interlock is a process interlock which can be bypassed
at SCADA for maintenance purposes at a high access level.
MCC Motor Control Centre
PLC Programmable Logic Controller

Graphic Overview.
The graphic overview is found in the Extruder-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 Icons.

The Graphic overview also contains the operation buttons for starting and
stopping the extruder 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.

Auto Start.
When clicking “Auto Start” the extruder will make the start up as configured. (See configuration Auto start)

If extruder bypass valve is opened, the first click on “Auto Start” will start Forced feeder in reverse (if
available) then conditioner etc. When feed screw is running, the next click will start from knife motor.
When all machines are running operator must click on extruder bypass to move bypass to extruder.

Auto Stop.
Pressing Auto stop the extruder line stops as you set up the timers in the “auto stop configuration” section.

Step Start.
Step start is a start sequence, which allows you to start the extruder line backwards from the knife motor
to feed screw, in steps one by one.

Step Stop.
Step stop is a stop sequence, which allows you to stop the extruder line backwards from the feed screw to
the knife motor, in steps one by one.

Antiplug.
When clicking “Antiplug” the antiplug on/off valve will open for a preset time, and oil will be added into the
extruder barrel.

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 dynamic during startup from Andritz technician, and also possible
to change if further components are installed later.
(For further information see configurations).

Trend.
The ECPS has real time and historical trend curves for a large number of variables.
The trend curve is accessed clicking Trend in the lower tab.

There are 5 different trend pages. The process values shown as trends are set for a full configured
control, and some might not be used on the specific machines installed.
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.

Zoom
There are 3 zoom levels on the trend
10 min.
30 min.
24 hours.

The zoom level is selected in the dropdown box.

The trend curves are stored in the memory for 5 days.

Trend “Scan”

Click on the “Scan” button (1) open a popup window “Trend Status” (2) where its possible to see the
trending values in historic mode, and go back to see old values, a vertical line (3) marks the value there is
selected on the trend. If the “Stop” button is pressed the time bar below the marker (3) can be moved
using the arrow keys on the window, (“<<” “<” “>” “>>”),
Click on “Play” button change time back to real time.
The “Trend Status” window can be closed by pressing the “Scan” (1) button again.

Configuration
The ECPS has adjustable parameters for each part of the machinery. They are usually adjusted by an
Andritz Feed & Biofuel technician before or during commissioning.
To open the configuration pages, click on “Config” in the lower menu bar.
The configuration variables can only be changed if the user is logged on as “Programmer”

Autostop configuration
The first configuration page, from where all the other configuration pages can be opened and you can
configure the settings for “Auto Stop”.

Counters
The ECPS has some build in service timers / counters, there is counting running hours for all the motors.
There are 2 counters: Standard service timer & Total counter.

For the service timer, the “ACT” count the hours. The “MAX” is a set-point where the operator can set a
value when he wants an alarm to be generated. When the “ACT” reach this value there is generated an
alarm (shown in the alarm log if selected) this alarm informs the operator that’s its time to check, calibrate,
adjust or ex change oil on a gear, etc. When the service is done the operator can reset the timer, by
pressing “RESET” and it will start again from 0.

There is a Total counter that not can be reset (Zero adjusted) by the operator. This Total counter count the
total running time, for the selected motor.

The square after the “MAX” indicate the status of the counter, whit the following indications:
Gray: Counter not active or not counting
