Liberty steel group / Entire Pass line revamping and process modification of an electrolytic tinning line (2018 / 2020).

For Liberty steel group account, Withindustry followed up of the engineering, and design of some specific electrical and automated technical solutions for an electrolytic Tinning line revamping project.

This project includes new TGBT, replacing of all pass line motors, drives, automation and HMI, a new chrome free passivation pass line, shifting of the main control room, new safety access areas.

The new configuration includes ABB ACS880 drives, PLC Tia S7-1500 and S7-1500F, and a wonderware Archestra HMI. This part has been integrated by the supplier Engie-Fabricom.

Withindustry also defined and followed up detailed engineering of the new chromefree process automation and electrical package, from basic engeneering to commissioning and fine tunning, to meet all specific mechanical suppliers needs, and final user and maintenance expectations.

Withindustry also clarified all safety access zones needs with final user and maintenance, and defined technical specifications for our electrical suppliers to meet this requirements.

Withindustry made the electrical an automation detailed engineering to shift the previous process control room to assemble it with new final check control room. +- 500 IO’s has been transfered through a new Profibus network.

We collaborated with our networked freelance Alstom expert to integrate a Profibus network on existing process HPC0 PLC. This configuration allowed us to use same ET200SP IO cards as for he rest of the installation, waiting for the process PLC to be revamped with Tia S7-1500 PLC (and profinet network).

Liberty steel group / Automation maintenance on tin-plate coils production lines (2016 / 2020).

Our automation engineers intergated our client on-site maintenance team for day works and on-call works on december 2016 and still ongoing in 2020, to maintain and improve actual production lines :

  • A continuous annealing production line
  • Skinpass production line
  • Shearing production line
  • An electrolytic tinning production line

One of the major aspect was to quickly acquire the know-how of production lines, and to get familar with automation and electrical components diversity, such as :

  • ABB drives : ACS/DCS500, ACS 800, ACS/DCS 880
  • General electric HPC0
  • Cogito
  • Siemens S5 115U
  • Siemens S7-300
  • Siemens S7-400
  • Siemens Tia S7-1500 and 1500-F
  • ABB AC450
  • ABB AC800PEC
  • Intouch (several versions)
  • Simatic WinCC

Especially to get autonomous for on-call interventions out of office hours.

Depending on periods, one to three automation enginners have been collaborating with a full time contract.
