Process automation

Few industries have as many fac-ets or are as interesting as the proc-ess industry, which produces a wide range of products for the most di-verse areas of daily life.

On the one hand, the chemical indus-try produces preliminary products for other industries. This group in-cludes base chemicals, petrochemi-cals, polymers as well as refined and special chemicals. Key consumers in-clude the automotive, packaging and building industries.

On the other hand, chemical prod-ucts are used in the areas of health, the environment and nutrition. As well as the chemical and pharmaceu-tical industry, the process industry includes other sectors such as the biotechnology, paper and food in-dustries.

Even though the end products may differ, automation is making huge leaps forward in each of these ar-eas. International competition and the resultant pressure to continu-ally increase productivity as well as a continuously expanding range of variants and strict requirements for process and quality assurance de-mand automation solutions.

Challenging – The process industry

Train efficiently

Festo – The partner to the process industry

Festo is fast becoming a key part-ner to the process industry. It is only logical that the process automation learning system benefits from this know-how and is tailored to the re-quirements of different industries through its consistent modularisa-tion:

– Water supply and disposal industry – Food industry – Bulk goods industry – Chemical and petrochemical indus-

tries – Biotechnology/pharmaceutical

industries – Paper industry

Why stop production to facilitate training?

It is prohibitively expensive to shut down an industrial system to facili-tate training. Comprehensive train-ing in the individual areas of process automation requires industry-ori-ented model systems or training in-stallations. „Learning by doing“ and „process orientation“ are two princi-ples that are central to the success-ful imparting of the many detailed training aims in process technology. Simulation of a process engineering system on a PC provides the oppor-tunity of using a simulation as an ac-tual training system.

MPS® PA – The new learning system for process automation


Teaching today using the technology of tomorrow

MPS® PA, an innovative learning sys-tem equipped with the most modern technical features and products from market leaders.

Practical training

The exclusive use of industrial components underlines the necessary practi-cality and ensures a speedy transfer of knowledge from a training scenario to practical application.

Sensors

Typical process engineering sensors assume control of temperature, level, flow rate and pressure in the MPS® PA.



Investment protection

A well thought-out modular design with clear-cut interfaces facilitates adapta-tion to future developments in components as well as open-loop and closed-loop control systems. This means that the system can be adapted to new re-quirements.

Boundless variety

It is only logical that the MPS® PA stations can be combined with stations from the greater MPS® family. After all, it is this possibility of combination with MPS® stations that makes the MPS® PA an interesting proposition for basic and further training in many industries which are dominated by process automa-tion but still require elements from production automation.



Measuring and controlling as in industry

ComponentsThe closest thing to realityThe MPS® PA learning system is based on industrial standards. The MPS® PA concept is based on a market leaders‘ automation solu-tions and trends and can be control-led in a number of ways:

The new interface concept offers many possibilities for direct combina-tion of individual MPS® PA stations. Various aspects determine the deci-sion as to which combination is re-quired: – Training aims– Supplementation of existing

stations – Budget

The MPS® 204 complete system sec-tion shows a fully configured system.


MPS® PA 204 Complete system


Control technology is clearly and practically explained using the P, PI or PID control algorithm. The temper-ature sensor – the reactor station us-es a PT100 resistance thermometer – supplies a unit signal of 0 – 10 V via the measuring transducer. The con-troller approaches the setpoint tem-perature via the continuously control-lable heater and keeps it constant.

Using a constant flow rate, the three raw materials are mixed to a recipe in the mixing station. The flow rate is recorded by means of an electronic flow sensor with impeller and addi-tionally displayed using a variable-area flowmeter. The controller ad-justs the necessary flow rate via the pump with analogue control.

Pressure control ensures constant-ly high filter quality during flushing. The pressure sensor with LCD dis-play, analogue output and switching output always supplies the correct measurement variable. The control-ler ensures constantly high filter quality during rinsing via the propor-tional pressure regulator.

The filling level of the dosing tank is detected in the bottling station using an analogue filling level sensor. The controller regulates the filling level to the required setpoint value via the continuously controllable pump. The filling level in the dosing tank is kept constant during filling, which optimises the quality of the filling process.



FunctionThe system is made up of the filtra-tion, mixing, reactor and bottling sta-tions. The filtration station filters a liquid. The filtrate is pumped from the first tank into the second tank through the filter using various proc-ess valves. The filtered liquid is then fed into the first tank in the mixing station. The mixing station mixes different recipes from three reser-voir tanks. The finished mixture is pumped to the reactor station, where it is tempered. Depending on the recipe selected, different tempera-ture profiles with different stirring times are activated. The bottling sta-tion fills the liquid into bottles. These bottles are transported to the filling position via conveyors. A pneumatic separator separates the bottles. The bottles are filled with different filling quantities from the dosing tank in accordance with the recipe selected.

MPS® PA Stations

Filtration station

Function

The filtration station filters liquids. The filtrate is pumped from the first tank into the second tank through the filter using a knife gate. The fil-tered liquid reaches the second tank via a butterfly valve with pneumatic semi-rotary drive. The filtered liquid can be pumped onwards to the next station using a separate pump. The filter can be rinsed using a rinse pro-gram. Regulated compressed air is additionally blown through the filter to loosen deposits.

Measurement and control Sensors detect the filling level of the container in the filtering station. This permits lessons on simple control exercises for monitoring the pumps right up to complete control projects involving complex processes.

Pressure control ensures constant-ly high filter quality during flushing. The pressure sensor with LCD dis-play, analogue output and switching

output always supplies the correct measured variable. The controller with P, PI or PID control algorithm ensures constantly high filter qual-ity during rinsing via the proportional pressure regulator. Control technolo-gy is clearly and practically explained in this way.


MPS® PA Stations

Shutting off, opening, closing

The right selection of process valve, drive, drive accessories and control valve plays an important role in com-plex process sequences. The filtering station uses an extremely wide range of process components. All the valve actuators are actuated via a directly connected NAMUR valve.

MPS® PA Stations

Mixing station

Function

The mixing station mixes different recipes from three reservoir tanks. The liquid from one of the three reservoir tanks is pumped into the main tank in a controlled manner by opening the respective two-way ball valve. The finished mixture can be pumped to the next station via a sec-ond pump – or pumped back to the reservoir tank.

Measurement and control Using a constant flow rate, the three raw materials are mixed to a recipe in the mixing station. The flow rate is recorded by means of an electronic flow sensor with impeller and addi-tionally displayed using a variable-area flowmeter. The output signal from the flow sensor is converted to a standard signal from 0 – 10 V. The mixing station can also be actuated through binary means using the in-tegrated comparator. The controller

adjusts the necessary flow rate via the pump with analogue control – using a simple two-point controller or various dynamic controllers such as P, PI or PID. This permits a clear explanation of control technology on various levels.


MPS® PA Stations

Always the right mixture

The component mix of the mixing station offers a wide selection of typ-ical components from process engi-neering. Pumps and process valves, various sensors for signal detection as well as electronic modules for signal conversion permit the right „training mix“.

Sensors for detecting the filling lev-el of containers. With overflow pro-tection thanks to additional sensors on each container, thereby virtually eliminating the possibility of over-flow.

Signal converters convert all ana-logue signals from the station to standard signals from 0 – 10 V. Prac-tical for the purpose of experimen-tation: integrated comparators also supply purely binary signals.

MPS® PA Stations

Reactor station

Function

The reactor station tempers a liquid. Depending on the recipe selected, different temperature profiles with different stirring times are activated. A cooling pump is activated to cool the liquid. The tempered liquid can be pumped onwards to the next sta-tion using a separate pump.

Measurement and control Sensors detect the filling level of the reservoir in the reactor station. This facilitates lessons on simple control exercises for monitoring the pumps right up to complete control projects involving complex processes.

Exact adherence to the various tem-perature profiles when activating the recipes is achieved by means of temperature control. The tempera-ture sensor (PT100 resistance ther-mometer) supplies a unit signal of

0 – 10 V via the measuring transduc-er. The controller with P, PI or PID control algorithm can approach the setpoint temperature values via the dynamically controlled heating unit and keep the values constant. Sim-ple control exercises, for example control using the two-point control-ler, can be realised using the reactor station. Control technology is clearly and practically explained in this way.


MPS® PA Stations

Heating and stirring

Key basic operations in many proc-ess engineering systems involve heating and stirring. The compo-nents of the reactor station are de-signed to permit a wide range of ex-periments in this area.

Infinitely adjustable heating with control signal from 0 – 10 V. A safe experimental environment permits integrated linking of the heater with the integrated temperature switch – thus ruling out the possibility of „running dry“ in a practical way.

Signal converters convert all ana-logue signals from the station to standard signals from 0 – 10 V. Prac-tical for the purpose of experimen-tation: integrated comparators also supply purely binary signals.

MPS® PA Stations

Bottling station

Function

The bottling station fills bottles with liquid. The liquid is pumped into the dosing tank from the reservoir. The bottles are transported to the filling position via conveyors. A pneumatic separator separates the bottles. The bottles are filled with different filling quantities from the dosing tank in accordance with the recipe selected.

Measurement and control The filling level of the dosing tank is detected in the filling station us-ing an analogue filling level sensor. The controller regulates the filling level to the required setpoint value via the dynamically controlled pump (0 – 10 V).

The filling level in the dosing tank is kept constant during filling, which optimises the quality of the filling process. Various control algorithms such as P, PI or PID can be applied and optimised during experiments.

The characteristics of the control process can be modified using hand valves already integrated. Control technology is clearly and practically explained in this way.


MPS® PA Stations

Transporting, separating, filling

Few segments of the diversified process industry are associated with such a wide range of end products as the food industry. All foodstuffs, whether dairy products, baked goods, juice, beer or wine have their own requirements with regard to the handling and production of the cor-responding end products. Transport-ing, separating, dosing and bottling play an important role here.

Optical sensors, adjustable using background suppression, monitor transportation on the conveyors of the filling station.

The filling quantity can be easily ad-justed by selecting different recipes.

The pneumatic separator ensures that there is never more than one bottle at the filling position.

23 Information on customer projects: www.festo-didactic.com

Process automation – Networked system

FunctionA networked system enables level control, flow rate control, pressure control and temperature control sys-tems to be operated simultaneously. Each station is equipped with a Sie-mens DR19 and can therefore also be operated individually. The sta-tions are connected to the host com-puter (PC) via Profibus DP. Access to the process variables of all sta-tions is provided by the operation and visualisation software InTouch or WinCC.

Step by step to greater complexityTraining starts with individual groups of students at the individual stations tackling tasks of similar complexity. The complexity can be gradually in-creased later by merging the stations into one system.

Training aimsThis system complements the train-ing aims of the Compact Worksta-tion.– Commissioning and maintenance

personnel: Realizing bus networks. From plan-ning, design and configuration through to realisation.

– Operators: Process operation, monitoring and performance training as part of system management.

The networked system can be sup-plied as a version with 4 stations (level control, flow rate control, pres-sure control and temperature con-trol) or as a version with 3 stations (no pressure control).

In both cases, a connecting station comprising a pump and 8 x 2/2-way solenoid valves controls the flow of water between the stations. Six or eight capacitive sensors (depend-ing on whether there are 3 stations or 4 stations respectively) monitor the level of the containers. Supplied with a SIPART DR19 controller and S7-313-2DP.

Integrated systems: from the control station to the fieldModern communication technology enables you to „see“ the sensor from the control room. The critical ques-tion remains as to which signals are relevant for display or which inter-vention options should be made accessible to individual groups of people. The system provides a quick insight into complex relationships and points to trends in the latest technologies and methods through the use of hardware and software from market leaders.

SIMATIC WinCC is a PC-based con-trol and monitoring system designed for visualising and controlling proc-esses, sequences and machines.

InTouch is an interactive system for visualising, monitoring and con-trolling industrial processes on IBM compatible computers.

Process automation – Compact Workstation

Compact Workstation with level, flow rate,pressure and temperature closed-loop control systems

Optimisation relativeto your space requirement

Maybe you‘re restricted in the amount of space you have available but you want each of your training workstations to offer a high level of complexity. If so then the Compact Workstation with four integrated closed-loop control systems is the solution for you. As shown in the flow chart, the individual control sys-tems can be activated by simply re-positioning the ball valves. The flex-ible piping system enables you to change the flow scheme or integrate other components quickly and easily.

Function

The four control systems in the Com-pact Workstation can be operated individually. The level and flow rate control systems can be structured as a cascade control system through the addition of an appropriate controller.

The layout of the sensors and servo drives permits experimentation with both continuous (e.g. P, I, PI, PID) and discontinuous action controller types (e.g. 2-point controllers). The pump can either be controlled directly or operated in controlled speed mode.

The manipulated variable of the con-troller in the flow rate and pressure control systems can alternatively act upon a proportional directional con-trol valve. A ball valve with pneu-matic drive is built into the return between the high-level container and the lower reservoir. The pneu-matic drive can be used to simulate a “load” for switching on a disturbance in the level control system or as an on-off valve for emergency switch-off.

Hybrid processes

Boundless variety

Qualification solutions and training factories for production and process automation.

Tell us what you need – we‘ll design your ideal learning environment and establish the required dependencies at process level. We look forward to designing solutions with you for spe-cial topics such as:– Water treatment– Cooling and refrigeration

technology– pH value measurement– Conductivity measurement– Pneumatics in process engineer-

ing, for example slide valve actua-tors with positioners, specifically for the paper industry. MPS® PA,

combined with MPS® stationsIt is only logical that the MPS® PA (process automation) stations can be combined with stations from the greater MPS® family. This makes MPS® an interesting proposition for basic and further training in many industries which are dominated by process automation but still require elements from production automa-tion.

The well thought-out modular de-sign with clear-cut interfaces pro-tects your investment and facilitates adaptation to future developments in components as well as open-loop and closed-loop control systems. This means that the system can be adapted to new requirements.

Production automation and process automation

AFB – The modular concept factory for all hybrid production tasks

Customer-specific solutionsThe learning system for all processes associated with production automa-tion and process automation.

– Production– Handling of seals– Packaging– Filling– Transportation and routing– Storage– Input/output

The ideal solution for hybrid pro-duction process requirements in the food sector. The platform con-nects stations and elements from the MPS® Modular Production Sys-tem with stations from the MPS® PA learning system and the Compact Workstation.

The system is therefore complete-ly modular and new processes and training content can be added grad-ually. Project work with hands-on training can take place at individual stations, on partially integrated pro-duction lines and in a fully integrated learning factory.

You have specific requirements? Numerous installations across the globe have given rise to a range of solutions with a particular focus on hybrid automation.

An example of this is provided by Siemens AG Professional Education Berlin, whose mixing and filling sta-tion demonstrates how a continu-ous flow process is brought into line with a gradual container filling proc-ess. The students experience an op-erational process showing the entire sequence of an automated customer order processing system.
