Automation systems at the Luoyang Xiangjiang Wanji plant will employ I/A Series redundant control processors at seven control nodes serving processes throughout the plant.
The control nodes are for raw materials processing, solvent extraction, settling, separation, product filtration, evaporation, and baking.
The control processors are connected with more than 5,200 I/O points, representing a wide variety of sensors, devices and signal interfaces.
The control nodes are interconnected with a redundant network built around a control and dispatching centre equipped with 15 sets of operator workstations and seven sets of engineering and operational workstations.
The centralised facility provides real time data and full graphics of the plant automation network, supporting the plant production monitoring and optimisation applications.
Luoyang Xiangjiang Wanji Aluminium and its engineering and design firm selected Invensys, an established supplier in the Chinese aluminum industry, based on the reliability and reputation of I/A Series systems installed at multiple plant sites.
