Background introduction
Huainan Hongtai Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.'s double high line workshop is used to produce high-quality wire products. With the increasing demand for product quality and production efficiency in the market, enterprises have decided to upgrade and transform the double high line automation to improve production efficiency and product quality, reduce energy consumption and production costs.
Project Objective:
-
1Implement automated control of the production process to improve the operational stability and reliability of the production line.
-
2Optimize production processes and improve wire quality.
-
3Reduce energy consumption and lower production costs.
-
4Improve the flexibility of the production line and adapt to the production needs of different products.






Solution
To achieve the above goals, the company has chosen a comprehensive solution that combines Siemens S7-1500 automation system with Sinamics DCM DC speed control system.
System configuration
-
S7-1500 PLC
As the brain of the entire production line, it is responsible for processing various signals from the site, executing control logic, and issuing control instructions. -
Sinamics DCM DC speed control system
used for precise control of motor speed and torque, ensuring stable operation of the production line. -
HMI operation interface
Provides intuitive operation and monitoring interface for operators, facilitating real-time monitoring of the production process and adjustment of parameters. -
Network communication equipment
Connect PLCs, speed control systems, and other intelligent devices through industrial Ethernet to achieve data exchange and centralized control.
Implementation steps
- On site investigation comprehensively understand the process flow, equipment status, and control requirements of the existing production line.
- Scheme design Design an automation transformation plan based on research results, including hardware selection, software programming, and system integration.
-
Equipment installation
During the shutdown period, modify the existing electrical control system and install S7-1500 PLC and Sinamics DCM speed control system.
- Program development Develop PLC control programs and HMI operation interfaces according to production process requirements.
- System debugging After the equipment installation is completed, perform system debugging to ensure the correctness of control logic and the stability of the system.
-
Training and delivery
Train operators on system operation and maintenance, and deliver the renovated production line for use.
