ts. Au- tomation technology and belt weighing from Siemens play special role here. With Milltronics BW 5, Siemens has broad

range of conveyor weighing sys-tems in its portfolio. Using the automa- tion systems from Ma-estro, they can be easily adapted

to quarrys on-site con-ditions. Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) is comprehensive collection of products and systems for mining and processing aggregates,

cement, lime-stone and asphalt. TIA extends from special automation solutions for mining and quarry companies, via decentralized periphery with actuators/sensors,

all the way to MES systems and the PCS7 pro-cess control system. These systems are adapted on location to customer-specific conditions using certified system inte-grators such as Ma-estro. Repeatedly our customers have described the solutions from Ma-estro as pragmatic and user-friendly. The great flexibility and scalability of the solutions are especially appreciated, says Dr. Alessandro Passeggi from Siemens Italy, which gives us clear target for the future for our partnership. Manara adds: This agreement bene- fits our products as well as Siemens products, and it brings our customers technical and economical benefits. It enables us to improve products and services to such an extent that they are also successful in non-European markets. We are therefore working on unifying and standardizing our products and systems. The use of these systems at Sipeg Srl, an Industria Cementi Giovanni Rossi SpA subsidiary that counts among one of the most important manufac-turers of inert material, is proof that the partnership is working. For the auto- mation of Sipegs processing plant, Ma-estro used typical SPS architecture based on Simatic S7 CPU 3 for routine motion-control applications. Together with the / modules, it controls via Profibus network 4 crushers, 3 belt drives and 5 sieves, as well as sand filters to purify water and to dry sewage sludge.
