Belt Conveyor Speed Control Logic Diagram.
First mill chute level is measured using a Level Transmitter. The operator then enters the desired speed of
conveyor –depending on the crushing rate, in DCS as a set point for belt conveyor. Besides speed he will also
enter the set point for desired chute level and Raw Juice Tank level in the DCS in their respective PID loops.
Whenever the Chute Level or mill Load or Raw Juice Tank Level rises above the set value then because of the
control action from the PID block output speed of the belt conveyor will reduce to automatically control level in the
raw juice tank so does the load on the mill is controlled.

Mill Drive Speed Control Logic Diagram.
To control Mill Drive Speed we first measure their level by level transmitters. We configure PID blocks in the DCS
for speed control of the mills (more than one mill considered for crushing cane)and the operator enters the desired
speed of individual mill as set point in the DCS.The operator also enters set point for required chute level and load
to be maintained on each mill in DCS. Whenever the chute level or mill load increases above the set value the
speed of the particular mill increases. This controls level and the load of the mill.

Raw Juice Flow Control Logic Diagram
Raw juice flow is measured using a mass flow meter and its density corrections are done by using mass flow
meter. Thus we get mass flow rate. Required flow depends on the crushing rate which is manually fed by the
operator in the DCS as Set Point. If the flow rate is more than the desired rate then the VFD speed is reduced to
match the set flow. If we are using recirculation valve instead of VFD then the recirculation valve will open more to
the set flow rate.
Graphics is the Human Machine Interface between plant and the operator. Graphics are configured in the DCS for
controlling various plant sections. Typically there is an index sheet from where the operator can navigate to
various sections of the plant. Index graphics and other graphics are given below. A brief explanation of plant
operation using graphics is provided by referring to Batch Pan Graphics

PAN Automation Graphics - BatchReferring to figure below, one can operate the entire PAN sequence at the click of a Sequence Button on the graphics. Automated sequence improves PAN boiling cycle time and avoids development of false grains. Honeywell has developed special software for automating the entire PAN operation sequence to make plant operation smoother by way of avoiding vacuum drop problem, automatic selection of PANs to be kept in idle or running conditions and bring the PAN to normal operating conditions once the storage tank level is reached without any manual intervention.

PlantCruise By Experion DCS meets all of the above demands•Robust and Reliable: PlantCruise By Experion is a robust system that provides high process uptime by
providing redundancy at every level. It has redundant- Controllers, Input Output Modules and power supplies. Unique patented Fault Tolerant Ethernet network for robust communication between the system nodes. In case
any of failure of a switch or a communication segment communication between the nodes is not impacted.
•Ensures Continuous Plant Operation: In an unfortunate circumstance of server failure our unique systemarchitecture ensures that there is no loss of control or view. When the server fails the work stations
communicate with the controllers and live plant data is available to the operator to operate the plant, making the
system Reliable.

•Easy to use: By extensively using object oriented programming language building control system logics is not a
tedious activity. Our easy to use features ensure substantial reduction in application engineering time and easy to
configure and operate plant graphics does not require very skilled manpower to operate the plant.
•Easy to Maintain - The system is designed to be maintainable, resulting in minimal time to diagnose and correct
troubles. Many maintenance activities can take place while the system remains on-line in control of the process.
The system uses many COTS-Commercial Off The Shelf equipments for power supplies and switches. We also
give the customer multiple choices to choose computer manufacturers for system nodes.
•Quick After Sales Service: PlantCruise By Experion is sold through System Integrators. This offers distinct
benefits like proximity to the customer to provide quick service. Honeywell rigorously trains their system
integrators on the product and shares domain expertise and engineering practices of Honeywell with system
integrators. Thus Honeywell’s expertise is available to the customer at local level.
