Cement Manufacturing

Cement Manufacturing

Designed, developed and commissioned the control system for two Cemex owned cement manufacturing plants in the US.  The systems were based on distributed Allen Bradley PLCs and a redundant iFix SCADA architecture.  Developed PICS software based PLC I/O simulation to simulate the entire plant behaviour prior to onsite commissioning.  Developed a tool to populate the PLC, SCADA and simulation databases and much of the PLC logic.  Used same tool to populate motor schematics and loop sheets.  In parallel I developed the company’s corporate automation standards.
