As the goals of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" are gradually advanced, China's steel industry is realizing the transformation from "high-speed development" to "eliminating outdated production capacity and achieving green, intelligent, and sustainable high-quality development." At the same time, it has also clarified development goals for the steel industry in aspects such as process equipment, steel grade quality, green development, and intelligent manufacturing.

In recent years, the level of integration of informatization and industrialization in the steel industry has continued to improve, and strengthening technological innovation and integration of digital intelligence has become the main means for steel enterprises to transform and upgrade. For ironmaking blast furnaces, the production involves numerous processes, and the related data storage volume is huge and the categories are complex. In addition, the demand for dynamic and real-time management is high, which places increasingly high requirements on the application of IoT technology.

By connecting to the blast furnace controller PLC and the fan controller PLC, the industrial intelligent gateway can collect equipment status parameters in real time and transmit them to the IoT platform in real time, thereby realizing functions such as remote monitoring, fault alarms, remote control, online management, and data analysis, providing comprehensive and reliable data support for production management, ensuring timely discovery of abnormalities and taking measures, and maintaining a safe and stable production order.

Implemented Functions

The gateway can connect to PLCs from Siemens, Mitsubishi, Schneider, Rockwell, Delta, Inovance, Beckhoff, etc., to perform protocol parsing and data acquisition, and connect to cloud platforms or host computers through 5G/4G/WIFI/Ethernet and other methods.

Real-time collection of data such as temperature, high pressure, normal pressure, air charging, air stopping, blast furnace air volume, blast furnace air pressure, and equipment status, thereby realizing remote monitoring on mobile phones and computers and quickly obtaining information such as equipment data reports and curve charts.

It can set various alarm rules, so that when parameter abnormalities are detected, it automatically notifies management personnel at all levels through WeChat, SMS, email, etc., facilitating rapid positioning, diagnosis, and measures to avoid larger accidents and losses.

Realize configuration monitoring and management of each blast furnace and fan, intuitively understand equipment operating status and process parameters, and quickly view alarm information, so as to better adjust equipment status parameters and improve production efficiency.

Form a decision-making mechanism for data analysis. Through data analysis of equipment parameters, alarm frequency, etc., it is possible to better judge equipment performance and fault distribution, thereby taking measures for improvement and optimization and ensuring production safety.
