A case study on application of Fieldbus in the automation of Coke Oven Battery  

Abstract

The use of Foundation Fieldbus technology in projects is increasing every year. The Foundation Fieldbus technology has been formerly employed as a simple digital communication protocol for field devices only. But with the development of, FF HSE (Foundation Fieldbus High Speed Ethernet) network standard, it has a much broader application now, on the controller level as well. This paper will discuss these issues using as a background a real project that was executed in a Coke Oven Battery and By-Product Plant at Tata Steel. The project has over 8000 I/Os, 6 Controllers, 16 workstations and several package units, and is a perfect scenario to highlight such issues. The paper will present the project showing the problems and achievements of all phases: Selection, Definition, Engineering, FAT, Commissioning and Start-up. With this paper the authors expect to share their knowledge and experience on FF applications, as applied to this particular project probably for the first time in India.
