The waste incineration plant in Hamm serves for the thermal treatment of urban waste and satisfies the criteria of safe disposal, environmental protection, utilization of energy, and economy.

The aim of the project is to equip the plant with the greatest possible availability of the control and network components and to increase the user friendliness and transparency of the processes.
Time limit for implementing was one week due to scheduled maintenance work. In this short time the Hirschmann partner KH-Automation Projects installed and commissioned the control technology with its 2,500 field signals for the general unit of the waste incineration plant in Hamm.

Requirements

• Shortest commissioning times
• Access via fault-tolerant Ethernet network by the PMSXpro control system up to the I/O level
• Transparency and adaptable measuring, control and regulating system

Solution

• Simulation of the entire process in advance and warm commissioning on site
• Pre-assembly of the new automation stations completely installation in the existing switch cabinets
• The computers are linked by a redundant, fault-tolerant Ethernet network. The system consists of redundant Mitsubishi Q control systems installed in pairs which are linked by Hirschmann RS2-Switches.
