IC50 option for plant automation connection
C50 gateway is a rugged, shock-, water- and dustproof data communication device for unit crusher automation.
IC50 gateway connects Metso Outotec IC50 crusher control system to the crushing plant’s upper level process control system. The datacommunication bus is Ethernet with Modbus/TCP-protocol.
IC50 gateway enables safe monitoring and commanding of data between IC50 and SCADA systems.
Background information
Modbus/TCP is a simple, efficient and common protocol in plant automation systems.
Ethernet is the physical bus, used commonly in plant level communication.
Physical characteristics
Housing provides IP65-class protection from dust and water.
The measures are 296 × 242 × 125 mm (11.65″ x 9.53″ x 4.92″)
Gateway delivery includes IC50 gateway with CAN- and power cables and documentation with modbus mapping addresses.
Customer responsibilities are:
- Ethernet cabling between IC50 gateway & SCADA
- SCADA application implementation including Modbus address mapping
Benefits of IC50 gateway link:
- IC50 data can be read and written safely by another control system
- Machine control unit made by the machine builder ensures full safety of machine + warranty
- Integration of tested and complete machine control unit reduces SCADA development work remarkably
- Crusher control and monitoring operations can be more freely located according to customer needs
- Less people needed in the quarry by operating all machines from single control room
- Improved work conditions by operating all machines from control room
