These two additional orders follow after the recently received single stand cold mill HGC/AGC/AFC upgrade order.
The scope of supply for the two stand cold mill is to replace the existing Mannesmann/Broner "Maras" control with a new IAS system for HGC/AGC and automatic flatness control.
The scope for the three stand tandem hot mill is again to replace the existing Mannesmann/Broner "Maras" control with a new IAS system performing HGC/AGC, along with interstand tension control.
Both control upgrades involve replacing the existing Motorola CPUs with Intel PCs on VME while maintaining the existing I/O cards and interface.
The control code upgrade involves replacing the Sun/Unix based "Maras" development system with the IAS Windows based IOWorks graphical development/maintenance environment using ladder logic and function blocks running on VXWorks-based realtime Intel CPUs.
All engineering design, project management, installation assistance, commissioning and operator/maintenance training will be from IAS's offices in Pittsburgh, PA.
