Already operating at more than 300 cement and mineral sites around the world to make process control and power applications more efficient, ABB’s System 800xA Minerals Library has gotten an upgrade, with better process-oriented visualization, new integration options, advanced modules and more
Release 5.1/4 further enhances the process control system library to reduce operating costs and increase productivity of cement and mineral processing plants. The technology increases standardization, functionality and quality of process control software over the complete lifecycle of a production facility. This minimizes downtime caused by abnormal situations and allows the facility’s production process and assets to be efficiently operated and maintained.
Minerals Library 5.1/4 comes with the following new features:
- Control diagrams for better process-oriented visualization of the application software.
- Integration into Engineering Base, Aucotec’s plant engineering tool, which is successfully implemented in ABB’s cement and mining projects.
- Advanced drive and equipment group modules for today’s demanding material handling, grinding and mineral processing applications.
- Extended parameterized solutions, which further reduce implementation costs and increase functionality.
- Support of ABB’s System 800xA 5.1 Feature Pack 4.
“The current Minerals Library enables system engineers to develop new applications faster and at highest quality,” said Martin Knabenhans, product manager for Minerals Libraries at ABB. “Maintenance teams and operators further benefit from easy fault-finding procedures, including access to plant documentation.”
