The Pressure Loss Alarm System of Circulating Water in Calcium Carbide Furnace

Abstract:

In order to improve the manual monitoring methods of the circulating water in calcium carbide furnace, this paper designs a pressure loss alarm system about circulating water of calcium carbide furnace. The system completes real-time automation and control of circulating water system by combining PLC technology, field bus communication technology and configuration technology, which uses PROFIBUS field bus to communicate between upper computer and lower computer. The practical application shows that this system can effectively achieve real-time monitoring of the circulating water, fault diagnosis and maintenance management.
