Randgold's Lorraine Gold Mine in the Free State hired AGE Engineering to carry out the PLC engineering, equipment supply and commissioning of the man-riding and ore belts. This one-month project interfaced a Modbus connection to Allen Bradley soft starters and an Allen Bradley PLC interfaced to an AFE SCADA data panel via Modbus. An AFE data panel also interfaced to an existing SCADA system via Modbus.
