Monitoring bunker Level in Thermal power plant which was around 25 years old,with replacing old ultrasonic transmitter by modern day RADAR transmitter and inetegration of I/Os into existing system architecture.
1. NLC /TPS-II/STAGE-2 /BUNKER AUTOMATION/
RADAR LT PROJECT
• REPLACING OF EXISTING ULTRASONIC TRANSMITTERS WITH PROPOSED
RADAR LEVEL TRANSMITTER OF TOTAL 48 NOS. FROM UNIT-4 BUNKER
TO UNIT-7 BUNKER.
• ALL 48 ANALOG INPUTS WILL BE CONFIGURED TO THE EXISTING GE
FANUC 90-30 PLC SYSTEM NETWORK THROUGH NEW ANALOG INPUT
MODULES
2. BUNKER AT EL. 32 MTR
• NLC TPS-II Phase-2 has 4 boilers Unit-4 to
Unit-7
Each boiler has 6 bunkers
• Each bunker has 2 Level transmitters for
continuous Level monitoring as shown in fig
• Total of 48 nos. of Level transmitters for Unit-
4 to Unit-7
(2 Level tx *6 Bunkers * 4 Boilers)
4. RADAR FMR 67
Features:
• PTFE – plated, flush – Mounted antenna
• Max. Measuring Range : 125 mtrs
• High Reliability due to small beam angle : 4
deg
• Accuracy : +/- 3mm
• Operating Frequency : 80 GHz
• Online Diagnostic & verification of Radar
level transmitter
• HistoROM configuration memory makes
easier commissioning, Maintenance and
diagnostics.
5. MAIN JB
• TOTAL : 04 NOS. FOR U-4, U-5, U-6, U-7
respectively
• JB IN : 06 RUNS OF 4PAIR X 1 SQ.MM
• JB OUT : 1 RUN OF 12 PAIR X 1SQ.MM
• SEPARATE JBs FOR EACH UNIT SIMPLIFIES
TROUBLESHOOTING
8. SYSTEM UPGRADATION, ENHANCEMENT & MAX. AVAILABILITY
As GE Fanuc 90-30 CPU was an older version, further upgradation enables as
• Making the outdated components to present day updated technology
• Max. Reliability & availability of the system.
• Enhancing the availability & productivity
Requirements:
Risk assessment / Downtime / Process availability
Editor's Notes
Overall Proposed Cabling, Junction boxes and their positions respectively at El.32 mtr to El.8.5 mtr
New Analog Input modules to the Existing Network Configuration
