, based on Codesys, required no additional PLC control. HMI panels provided the operator interface at strategic locations on the plant with smaller HMI panels providing local sectional speed and draw displays. Due to the comms overhead Red Lion Datastation Plus protocol converter was utilised to manage the Ethernet communications between the various HMIs and the 2 No. drive controllers. Operator errors were reduced by storing machine setup data in recipes files within the main HMI panel, which can then be downloaded to the 2 drive modules between product changes. The commissioning timescales were very tight to reduce the impact on production; an initial 7 hour period was the target and much of the cable installation was pre-installed prior to the outage. It was literally all hands to the pumps connecting the 2 No motors, encoders, fans and commissioning the machine within such short period of time. The machine went into production soon afterwards, the drive system has been performing well and production has increased and maintenance has been significantly reduced since the installation. PM2 has recently featured on the BBC TV program Inside the Factory, Teabags with Greg Wallace; the paper machine is discussed 3 to 4 minutes into the show. https:// Germany youtube HB series gearbox /watch?=sdJPWGIntUs Technical Details ABB ACSM1 Hi-Performance Inverters ABB Solutions Program Drive Programming ABB .
