ArcelorMittal

System Retrofit for Wire Drawing

To strengthen its position in the South American metallurgy market, the company turned to Altus for the technology needed to enhance product quality and boost the capacity of its wire manufacturing facility

Retrofitting Furnaces and Wire Drawing Machine

Com recursos avançados como troca a quente, expansão de módulos E/S e arquitetura escalar baseada em Ethernet determinística, os controladores programáveis da Série NX podem ser utilizados tanto em máquinas quanto em sistemas distribuídos. Essa adaptabilidade e a capacidade de atuar em diferentes processos levaram a tecnologia Nexto a ser utilizada como peça central no upgrade de uma das plantas produtivas da ArcelorMittal.

In this project, Altus equipment was used to retrofit the multi-pass drawing machine with a winder, along with five annealing furnaces used in the production of wires for the annealed wire market.

Enhanced Precision

Highly accurate control of critical process variables such as temperature, pressure, and more

Accurate Data

The embedded technology in this solution delivers highly accurate data throughout the process

Remote Supervision

The WebServer feature available on the Nexto CPU allows remote access to the supervision system via any browser

Complete Control

The control system is fully customized to meet the specific needs of the process

Key benefits of the new system

The fully automated control system for the plant includes six CPUs, one MODBUS/TCP NX5100 remote unit, and a series of modules handling over 2,300 I/O points to manage the drawing machine and five annealing furnaces. The architecture also features a JN3008 media converter from the Connect Series and a seven-inch HMI from the X2-BASE Series.

The NX3005 CPU was chosen to optimize both the wire drawing machine and the annealing furnaces. This unit comes with an integrated power supply, high processing speeds—handling 1,000 Boolean instructions every 6 microseconds—and ample data storage capacity.
