Bianchini Oil Extraction

Control system for soybean Oil Extraction Plant

Altus was entrusted with the development and implementation of the control and supervision system for the soybean oil extraction process at the company’s facility.

Modernization of the plant’s control system

The system deployed at the production unit in Rio Grande, RS, includes 10 automation panels with a total of 12 columns (PNs), along with over 70 CCM columns responsible for controlling the soybean oil extraction process.

Managing more than 3,000 I/O points, the solution oversees the entire oil extraction system, from soybean drying and preparation for oil extraction to oil extraction, meal production, and product storage and distribution.

Além dos controladores programáveis da Série NX, o sistema completo conta com mais de 90 dispositivos do tipo soft starter e inversores de frequência em rede PROFIBUS.

Remote Supervision and Control

The solution enables remote supervision and operation of the plant, minimizing operational risks for the workforce

Enhanced Safety

Swift detection of system faults and incidents, thanks to the implementation of precise, actionable diagnostics

Multiprotocol Capability

An open architecture system, utilizing widely recognized communication protocols (Profibus-DP, HART, and Modbus TCP)

Quick Decision-making

The PLC’s seamless communication with field devices enhances decision-making speed for the management team

Solução de controle PROFIBUS com conexão total

Comprehensive PROFIBUS control with full connectivity

A aplicação desenvolvida utiliza três redes Profibus, sendo uma redundante com remotas de E/S da Série NX, e uma simples para controle de inversores e soft starters. Enquanto a rede redundante conta com 13 remotas redundantes, a outra controla os inversores e soft-starters com 99 itens, sendo 27 inversores e 72 soft starter.

The entire project encompasses 10 automation panels with a total of 13 columns (PNs). The scope of the project also included commissioning, startup, assisted operation, and training for both maintenance and operational teams.

Supervisão e operação remota com o sistema HMI/SCADA BluePlant

Remote supervision and operation with BluePlant HMI/SCADA

The system relies on BluePlant HMI/SCADA software to supervise key processes such as Warehouses 2 and 3, Laminators 1 and 2, Screeners, Preparation, Flow Scales 1 and 2, Dryer, and Pier Towers.

With 83 monitoring screens, the SCADA system manages over 150 motors that drive product and raw material movement within the plant and during ship loading operations at the pier.

The software provides plant managers and operators with remote access to the system, allowing them to collaborate in real-time with field technicians, streamlining overall plant management.

Alta disponibilidade com arquitetura de redundância Nexto

High-availability with Nexto redundancy architecture

A aplicação desenvolvida utiliza os controladores programáveis da Série NX como peça central do sistema controle da unidade. O alto potencial tecnológico dos produtos Nexto os qualificam para operar grandes números de pontos e bastidores remotos, além de controlar de forma distribuída e redundante projetos como o tratamento da água.

The system features a redundancy setup with two NX3030 CPUs — one primary (active), responsible for real-time control, and a standby backup unit that continuously monitors the performance of the primary CPU.

The standby CPU continuously monitors the primary unit’s performance to ensure smooth operation. In case of a failure where the primary CPU becomes unavailable, the standby CPU automatically takes over, ensuring uninterrupted operation without the need for manual intervention or risking any system downtime. This seamless transition, known as “switch-over,” keeps the process running smoothly.
