  • ABB Partners with Boliden to Reduce Carbon Footprint of Its Industrial Products
    ABB Partners with Boliden to Reduce Carbon Footprint of Its Industrial Products Dec 17, 2022
    ABB is working with Boliden, the Swedish mining and smelting company, to build a strategic co-operation to use low carbon footprint copper in its electromagnetic stirring (EMS) equipment and high-efficiency electric motors. The aim is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while driving the transition to a more circular economy. The partnership with Boliden forms an integral part of ABB’s strategic ambition to reduce the environmental impact of raw materials used in its products by replacing them with lower carbon alternatives. Apart from using recycled copper, ABB has committed to increase the use of recycled electric steel (e-steel) and recycled aluminum. The move is also an important step in closing the circularity loop that has already seen ABB designing its motors to be up to 98% recyclable, with the remaining 2% of materials available to be incinerated for heat recovery. Recycling copper, aluminum and steel offers energy savings of between 75 and 95% compared to virgin production. “As a part of ABB's 2030 sustainability strategy, our target is for 80% of our products and solutions to be covered by a circularity approach. The work with Boliden is an important step towards this goal,” said Ola Norén, head of Metallurgy Products, Process Industries, ABB. “By taking stock of the delivery by the end of this year we’ll ensure that all our metallurgy products use recycled hollow copper conductors from 2023.” “We want to enable a more sustainable and resource-efficient future, and with this collaboration our customers can not only decarbonize by upgrading to energy efficient motors but will also be able to install ABB technology that has an improved environmental footprint thanks to Boliden’s copper,” said Ulf Hellstrom, managing director at ABB Motion, Sweden. “This is an excellent example of the circular economy in practice.” The co-operation includes ABB placing the first order for Boliden’s certified recycled copper through Finnish metals manufacturing specialist Luvata. Hollow conductor wire made from the material will be used in ABB’s EMS products for both steel and aluminum manufacturing. Furthermore, as of 2023, ABB will purchase Boliden’s low-carbon and recycled copper to cover the demand for its IE5 Ultra-Premium Efficiency SynRM and e-mobility motors produced in Europe. The two companies have also signed a memorandum of understanding that will see ABB supporting Boliden in identifying inefficient low-voltage motors across its operating units. These motors can then be replaced with high efficiency motors within ABB’s take back upcycling framework, with the old motors recycled to provide raw material for Boliden’s recycled copper. Copper is a vital material for manufacturing industrial electrical equipment, but its production is energy intensive. To address this, Boliden has developed low-carbon copper that is mined using fossil-free energy and also produces copper using secondary raw material from recycled products. The carbon footprint...

  • AI-Based Autonomous Control
    AI-Based Autonomous Control Dec 10, 2022
    As process control technologies advance, one concept gaining prominence is autonomy. When contrasted with conventional automation, one of the main differentiators of autonomy is applying artificial intelligence (AI) so an automation system can learn about the process and make its own operational improvements. Although many companies find this idea intriguing, there is understandable skepticism. The system’s capability is only as good as its foundational algorithms, and many potential users want to see AI in operation somewhere else before buying into the idea wholeheartedly. Those real-world examples are beginning to emerge. Yokogawa’s autonomous control systems are built around factorial kernel dynamic policy programming (FKDPP), which is an AI reinforcement learning algorithm first developed as a joint project of Yokogawa and the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) in 2018. Reinforcement learning techniques have been used successfully in computer games, but extending this methodology to process control has been challenging. It can take millions, or even billions, of trial-and-error cycles for a software program to fully learn a new task. Since its introduction, FKDPP has been refined and improved for industrial automation systems, typically by working with plant simulation platforms used for operator training and other purposes. Yokogawa and two other companies created a simulation of a vinyl acetate manufacturing plant. The process called for modulating four valves based on input from nine sensors to maximize the volume of products produced, while conforming to quality and safety standards. FKDPP achieved optimized operation with only about 30 trial-and-error cycles—a significant achievement. This project was presented at the IEEE International Conference in August 2018. By 2020, this technology was capable of controlling entire process manufacturing facilities, albeit on highly sophisticated simulators. So, the next question became, is FKDPP ready for the real world? From simulation to reality Yokogawa answered that question at its Komagane semiconductor plant in Miyada-mura, Japan (Figure 1). Here, much of the production takes place in clean room environments under the tightly controlled temperature and humidity conditions necessary to produce defect-free products. The task of the AI system is to operate the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems optimally by maintaining required environmental conditions while minimizing energy use. It is understandable that an actual application selected for this type of experiment would be of modest scale with minimal potential for safety risks. This conservative approach may be less dramatic than one at an oil refinery, but this does not reduce its validity as a proof of concept. At first glance, operating an HVAC system autonomously might not seem complex. But the HVAC systems supporting the tightly controlled clean room environment account for 30 percent of the total ener...

  • Exploring Local, Remote and Distributed I/O
    Exploring Local, Remote and Distributed I/O Dec 03, 2022
    Process and factory automation controllers connect to sensors, instruments, valves and other equipment through input/output (I/O) cards or racks that are either collocated within the same cabinet (local) at the controller/CPU or installed farther away (remote). Defining the difference between local and remote I/O is straightforward, but the defining differences between remote I/O and distributed I/O can have their nuances and are further confounded by each vendor’s definitions or marketing collateral, just as many automation vendors prefer a name like process automation controller (PAC) over programmable logic controller (PLC). The most used I/O type is local I/O. It is most often from the same vendor as the controller/CPU, since it is ordinarily directly connected to the controller/CPU by integrated racks or cages that hold 4-, 8-, 16- or 32-point I/O cards. Some local I/O expansion racks, or bricks, as they are often referred to, can be separate from the main CPU and connected over a digital bus or highway via twisted pair wires or Ethernet cables, albeit installed within the same physical cabinet. Since local I/O is typically intended to be installed within the same enclosure as the controller/CPU, environmental operational characteristics and hazardous area approvals are not as robust as remotely installed I/O. Remote I/O characteristics Next comes the challenge of outlining the different characteristics between remote I/O and distributed I/O, especially since many vendors refer to them interchangeably. If we use history and release to market timelines as a basis, remote I/O was first and thus less flexible, capable and smart as compared to later released distributed I/O. Initially, remote I/O was nothing more than local I/O reconfigured and housed to be remotely installed from its corresponding controller/CPU Communication was no longer along a backplane but now designed to convert its connected analog I/O signals to a digital format that was transmitted back to the host controller over proprietary buses or highways. Remote I/O is limited in scope and does not contain a complex or advanced CPU or processor to handle math, complex control, and peer-to-peer communication with other remote I/O modules, or allow the connection of additional I/O modules. While operational characteristics and hazardous approvals exceed that of most Local I/O products, it is still somewhat more limited than its advanced cousin, distributed I/O. Distributed I/O characteristics Distributed I/O harnesses all the capabilities of remote I/O and more. It is likely, but impossible to determine, that distributed I/O derived its name from “distributed control.” As the name suggests, distributed I/O is a more complex piece of equipment that can be distributed throughout a process plant or automation facility without the concern of continuous communication with its host controller/CPU. This is because most distributed I/O products contain an advanced CPU and often real-time o...

  • Emerson’s New I/O Interface
    Emerson’s New I/O Interface Nov 26, 2022
    Emerson, a global software and engineering leader, has released DeltaV™ IO.CONNECT, a new subscription software service designed to help plants simplify modernization with an open architecture pathway that makes it possible to transition to more efficient control schemes without the need to completely overhaul existing infrastructure. In a traditional plant with tens of thousands of I/O points and many controllers, this can save hundreds or thousands of hours of labor and up to 40% of the capital required for a total rip-and-replace upgrade. Many plants still using control systems from 20 or 30 years ago are unable to reap the benefits of modern, digital technologies that optimize operations and improve sustainability. Modernizing those systems is complicated by the extensive time, labor and capital expense required to convert the old wiring, terminations and other infrastructure they are built upon, leaving plants “locked in” to legacy control technologies and expensive service contracts. DeltaV IO.CONNECT provides a faster, easier, more cost-effective path to replacing any legacy system with a new DeltaV distributed control system while leaving existing I/O infrastructure in place. The solution is provisioned as a subscription software component of Emerson’s Guardian™ Support offering, helping plants remain always up-to-date, driving strategic goals and meeting business needs with future-proof operation. No legacy vendor software is required for configuration and maintenance of I/O. By preserving existing I/O and leaving wiring intact, plants can reduce new system transition time by over 90%, keeping production on pace, reducing risks and minimizing downtime. Once the interface is installed and the plant is running new control technologies, technicians can update I/O on their preferred schedule while the plant runs, shifting what used to be a capital expenditure to the operations budget and driving immediate return on investment through improved process control performance. “Many best practices for better visibility and improved performance are out of reach for the numerous plants still running legacy equipment today,” said Claudio Fayad, vice president of technology for Emerson’s process systems and solutions business. "Moreover, many of the oldest systems are reaching the end of their product support lifecycles, forcing some plants to modernize on a very tight schedule. DeltaV IO.CONNECT empowers industrial plants to choose a digital control system with all the advanced automation features they need, while still scaling at their own pace to better manage transition-related outages and capital expenditures,” said Fayad. DeltaV IO.CONNECT will be on display at the Emerson Global Users Exchange, Oct. 24-28, 2022 in Grapevine, Texas.
