APPENDICES 96
Rio Tinto Iron Ore Yandicoogina is in the business of mining, and producing Iron Ore for
shipment. The ore is extracted from a giant Ore body that runs through an old creek bed. The
process of production follows numerous amounts of crushing and screening procedures before
stacking the ore on a stockpile waiting for train collection to transport the ore to the coast for
shipment.
In the process of ore size reduction there are many different types of equipment being used
and controlled by Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). The majority of this engineering
internship was concerned with the process control sector at Yandicoogina. Throughout the
internship the major project was to prepare the YDU210 Dust Collection System for
commissioning which includes:
• Process identification
• Logic implementation
The Dust Collection System is an important asset within Rio Tinto Iron Ore as they focus on
prevention and elimination of any Environmental Hazards within the workplace. Dust
emission is one of these environment hazards that Rio Tinto chooses to eliminate as much as
possible as there is a frequent probability of creating dust from the open Iron Ore
transportation through the different stages of the process and the human impact within the
environment.
Mark Rodgers General Manager, For the preliminary organisation of the internship.
Neil Sirr Process Control Technician, for answering any questions that arose and
offering assistance then needed especially the electrical aspect of the
work exposed throughout the progression of the internship.
James Shilcock Graduate Electrical Engineer, for providing valuable information and
assistance during the internship, and giving an insight into the role of a
graduate electrical engineers within industry.
Graeme Cole Academic Supervisor, for the assistance throughout the duration of the
engineering degree and internship.
This report provides information on all key areas of the internship undertaken with
a main focus on the YDU210 – Dust collection System
The majority of the information within this report has been sourced from Rio Tinto
technical manuals, functional specification documents and drawings. A
collaboration of documents was referenced from other Dust Collection Systems on
site in order to create the YDU210- Dust Collection System functional specification
document as there was no previous documentation. However the drawings for the
YDU210 Dust Collection System were created before the time of installation. In
addition to these documents more additional information was sourced through
books, web sites and communications with personnel on site to acquire a greater
understanding of different equipment and procedures that were required to be
understood throughout the internship.
This chapter will outline the internship giving a description about the internship
process, the overall plan developed for guidance, where it was conducted,
information about the company and specific site operations. It will also include the
information about the roles played on site by the engineers as to where they fit in
and the Engineering practices that were encountered during the internship.
This chapter will include information, work performed and outcomes from the
completion of a variety of different tasks undertaken throughout the internship.
This chapter is included in the report as the YDU210 – Dust Collection System
project was not the only task that has been given throughout the internship. These
tasks aided in the understanding of field devices, control and display software that
made the Dust Collection System project completion readily obtainable.
This chapter will introduce the Dust Collection System and it is importance within
the company. It will also provide an understanding of the status of the YDU210
Dust Collector at the commencement of the internship, an overall layout and
location of the system. All components of the system will also be detailed in this
chapter.
This chapter is concerned with how the Dust Collection System should be
controlled. One of the requirements of the Dust Collection System project is to
create a functional specification document which will be discussed. At the
completion of the YDU210 – Dust Collection System functional specification
document the logic and control display creation will be discussed in detail.
This chapter will discuss the system evaluation performed throughout the project,
which includes Maintenance Order, and Point-to-point testings. This chapter will
also discuss the need and details of a Scope Of Work (SOW) and the work
completed subsequently due to SOW.
Chapter 7 – Conclusions:
This chapter will focus on the experiences gained throughout this internship, a
conclusion of the YDU210 – Dust Collection System project status at the time of this
report and the future works. The chapter will also include the recommendations for
future improvements of the Dust Collection System.

the appendices.
2.1 Introduction
Rio Tinto Iron Ore (RTIO) falls under the Rio Tinto group banner and consists of
operations in:
• Corumba, Brazil
• Orissa, India
In the Pilbara region of Western Australia there are 11 mines consisting of:
1. Yandicoogina 7. Channar
6. Mesa J
Also within Pilbara operation of RTIO there are two shipping terminals which
consist of Dampier and Cape Lambert and the largest privately owned heavy freight
railway in Australia. Pilbara operations produce over 163 million tonnes of Iron Ore
and the current goal is 22o million tonnes. Thirteen percent of Rio Tintos operating
assets and twenty six percent of the gross sales revenue come from RTIO.[12]
2.3 Operations
The ore placed on the stockpiles is collected by one of two Reclaimers (figure 2-2),
depending on the location of the stockpile. The reclaimers only run when the bin
level in the train loadout (figure 2-4) needs to be maintained to allow trains to be
loaded. The overall processing procedure that takes place is:
Mine pit
The ore obtained from the mine pit is done by drilling holes into the ore body in the
designated locations selected by mine planning and grade control who know the pit
layout and the future intentions. The holes are then prepared with explosives for
blasting, as the ore in it is natural state can not be dug efficiently. After blasting the
ore, a digger and haul trucks are used to load and transport the ore to the primary
crusher ROM bin.
The primary crusher is used as the first point of contact from the mine to the
processing plant. The crushing process at the primary consists of feeding the ore via
a grizzly vibe feeder into a Jaw crusher. The grizzly splits the ore into two streams
by allowing ore less then 250mm in size to move straight to the secondary crusher.
The Jaw crusher is used to crush the ore until the ore can pass through the grids.
Secondary crusher
The ore is then screened at the scalping screens and split into three sizes. The sizes
are classified as fines, middlings and oversize. The fines are sent straight to the
stacker as they do not require anymore crushing. The middlings proceed to the
tertiary crusher and the oversize progresses to the secondary crusher. The
secondary continues to crush the oversize ore until it passes through the Jaw
crusher.
Screening
The screening house is used to check if the ore is at the correct size. If the ore size is
correct it proceeds along the conveyors to the stacker. Otherwise it is conveyed to
the tertiary crusher for further sizing.
Tertiary crusher
The tertiary crusher is used to crush the ore that was not at the correct size needed
to pass through the screen mats at the screening house. After the tertiary crusher
has completed crushing, the ore is passed back through the screen house and the
procedure continues until the ore is at the correct size and placed in a stockpile.
The Wet Plant process alters between the primary and secondary crushing
procedure that is been stated above for the Dry Plant. The additional process
consists of splitting the ore flow from the primary crusher into two scrubbers. The
scrubbers use water to clean clay and other impurities from the ore like a washing
machine. After the scrubbers, the ore is separated from the water based solution
and proceeds to the secondary crusher. The solution that is separated from the ore
is sent to a thickener tank where flocculent is added to reclaim the water from the
impurities. From the secondary crusher the ore is combined with the ore leaving the
JSE primary and secondary sizer. The ore is then conveyed to the inner loop where

• Project management
• System design
The Internship plan was created and followed from the commencement of the
internship. The tasks that required completion were:
Inductions
The inductions are a compulsory component when commencing working with Rio
Tinto. The inductions included four days within the Perth office to complete the:
• Environmental induction
• Dust management
• Change management
Engineering Systems
This section of the internship was given a set time frame and an overall explanation
of the different engineering systems used within Rio Tinto was given as basis of
what may be expected or be exposed to in the course of the internship. Throughout
the internship there was more exposure to different systems, which allowed for a
greater understanding and appreciation of the systems.
An explanation of different symbols that may appear in schematics and how to read
them throughout the internship was given.
Citect training
A three day Citect HMI/SCADA configuration training manual was reviewed and
activities completed.
Some time was spent with the Electrical team which gave a more hands on
experience and provided a greater understating of the site layout, visual
confirmations of how and where the PLC/CPU communication took place and
different measurement devices used throughout different areas on site.
Small projects or day to day tasks that were given during the allocated period with
the Process control technicians gave more exposure to the industry and different
engineering systems that Rio Tinto Iron Ore uses. In particular, this exposure
helped with the YDU210 Dust Collector project.
Project work
2.6 ProWORX 32
ProWORX 32 is a programming software platform that is used for the Modicon PLC
range. Yandicoogina uses PorWORX to program, control and analyse all of the plant
operations in real time. ProWORX has a number of features which includes:
Throughout the internship ProWORX was used a lot for process understanding of
equipment interaction, fault finding, and the creation of additional logic.
2.8 Conclusion
The aim of this chapter has been to provide information to allow for the
understanding of the internship procedure and the environment in which it took
place. Knowledge about Rio Tinto Iron Ore and it is operations were also given to
outline the fundamentals of Iron Ore mining in the Pilbara region of Western
Australia. The background and necessity of electrical engineers on site has been
discussed. Following on from this chapter is a discussion of some of different minor
projects that occurred throughout the internship.
3.1 Introduction
As discussed previously part of internship was spent with the fixed plant electrical
maintenance team. This was put in place to give a more hands on knowledge of the
site and the devices used to control or feedback information to the PLC’s. Some of
the work undertaken during this time was:
2. Belt rips – detects whether the belt has been ripped by having
detection at the tail end of the belt as shown in figure 3-1 however
are also located at transfer chutes and impact areas. The belt rip is
detected by breaking the tensioned rope. A visual inspection was
performed on the tensioned ropes as it is not desirable to
purposely break the rope.
4. Level indication –The train loadout bin uses a tilt probe to indicate
the High Level, if the Iron Ore in the chute reaches the level of the
probe and continues to increase the probe will be tilted and when
this happens it sends a signal to the PLC. The PLC logic gives a
“high high” level trip which is indicated on Citect with an Input
Faulted symbol [See appendix B]. This inspection was done by
taking the tilt probe out of the chute and manually tilting it. During
this inspection it was noted that the electrical cord and the chain
that the tilt probe was attached to were damaged.
At the end of the stacker boom conveyor there are two Nobles WII 300kN
Load cells. These are put in place to show the belt tension on the
conveyor, and to allow for its correction and calibration. When the Load
cells were inspected it was found that one of them was not wired up and
the other one needed to be turned 90 degrees as the stain gauge inside the
load cell would not detect a reading unless it had the right orientation in
the direction of force. The load cells send a 4-20 mA current to PLC which
is then scaled and displayed on Citect.
• On delay
• Off delay
• Sensitivity
Microwaves
There are two pairs of microwave sensors on the stacker to protect both the
left hand side and right hand side of the boom. The correct orientation of all
four sensors in respects to the boom is as shown below:
The status of the microwave sensor was checked, and it was found that the
send and receive position of both pairs of sensors were at the same end of the
stacker boom. Due to microwaves being on both sides of the stacker it was
recommended not to have the sends or receives at the same end of the boom
otherwise the signal may be received by the wrong receiver and interrupt the
signals. The right hand side (RHS) pair of microwaves were swapped and the
receiver was replaced to eliminate a cause of the faults. The microwave the
After the mounting was corrected, the parameters were recalibrated. This
resulted in no more false detections and no constant interruption in stacker
movement and consequently production delays.
3.3.1 Introduction
The Oil cooler gearbox pressure readings for YCV212A, YCV212B and
YCV212C had been recently added and a task given was to create logic for the
analog scaling of the raw pressure values from the field. The Citect display
that retrieves the scaled pressure value from ProWORXs was also a required
task. Within the next two subsections a detailed explanation will be given on
the process undertaken. The explanation will only be given on YCV212A as
the procedure is to same for all three pressure reading.
The first task that is required when proceeding to create new logic within the
PLC is:
• To find the correct PLC, as to where the pressure signal has been
wired into.
• Find and allocate all the PLC addresses that are going to be used, and
confirm that the addresses are not already being used.
1. Move 1000 into the maximum value address using a SUB block, to set
the maximum scale parameter of the pressure switch.
2. Move 0 into the minimum value address using a SUB block, to set the
minimum scale parameter of the pressure switch.
After the PLC ladder logic was created for the pressure readings, Citect
graphical displays were set up. Before adding any displays to the required
pages the following tags need to be created:
Variable Tags
For all three pressure readings a real time scaled pressure reading (PT01)
and alarm (PT01_BW_W) tags were created. The parameters data type
(INT), Zero Scale (0) and Full Scale parameters were filled correctly,
however the broken wire tag is a digital input and only the PLC number
(YPL206) and address reference (002962) was needed.
Alarm Tags
The alarm tag was created to enable to having the broken wire warning to
appear on the alarms page within Citect. This page has already been set up to
list all the alarms that have been triggered and the time they occured.
The Oil cooler gearbox pressure readings for YCV212A, YCV212B and
YCV212C were successfully implemented, however there were some other
problems with the location of the pressure sensors. Due to a recent blockage
and consequently the spike in pressure that did not reach the trip limit that
would have stopped the motor and the pressure build up caused the
equipment to break. Creating the logic in ProWORXs and a Citect display
3.4 iMAC
3.4.1 Introduction
The iMAC system on site used to monitor the status of pull wires along a
conveyor and help with the identification of which pull wire as tripped. There
has been some difficulties with differentiating the iMAC devices that have
faulted and the reading from the different devices because the signal from
the modules furthest from the iMAC controllers are not being received
clearly. The problems initiated at installation, as the iMAC system were not
installed correctly. Performing a fault diagnosis is difficult and time
consuming, which will create a loss in production, therefore the counter
measures created are:
The wiring, and parameter modifications are completed, and the baud rate
checked prior to the commencement of the internship. The cable tray
modification was cancelled, and the final procedure was to modify the iMAC
controller to display faults. A contracting company were delegated the task of
creating the program for the iMAC controllers however they required a
descriptor list which contains all the iMAC addresses for the different
conveyors and what display were wanted for each address on the screen.
The iMAC I/O Modules out in the field such as RTD4 (Resistance
Temperature Detector) and TCD4 (Thermal Conductivity Detector), collect
data and report the data back to the iMAC controller over the iMAC signal
line. The four in the name TCD4 and RTD4 indicates how many field devices
• A is the line that contains the hardwired switches which gives a pull
wire trip.
• B is the line used for monitoring the pull wires along the conveyor, so
that when a pull wire trip occurs the iMAC controller can indicate
which pull wire has tripper for easy location.
To finalise the iMAC project, the iMAC address information for conveyors
YCV211, YCV212, and YCV302 were required. In Addition, a brief description
of the devices at the particular addresses were collected for programming.
This information is to appear on the iMAC controller screen to make fault
finding easier. The list was created by viewing the Citect displays for each
conveyor and the corresponding addresses in ProWORXs. An example of the
displays used for creating the list can be are in appendix D.
The descriptor list has been completed, however the programming has not
been completed due to delays. Therefore, no outcomes can be given at the
present.
3.5 Conclusion
The varieties of different tasks detailed above that occurred throughout the
internship have provided opportunities to learn about different devices from a
hands on experience and obtain useful knowledge about the onsite operations,
throughout the different departments. There were many day to day tasks that
have not been mentioned however these tasks had a fair amount of time spent
4.1 Introduction
This chapter the Dust Collection System will be explained in great detail which will
allow for the understanding of the subsequent chapters. The chapter will start by
explaining the reason for dust collection systems and their importance within Rio
Tinto Iron Ore. The overall layout of the Dust Collection System is discussed in the
Hopper section. Following on from there an explanation of the different pieces of
equipment, which include the Fan, Rotary Valve, Conveyor and Pulse Cleaning
System.
The YDU210 Dust Collection System was part of a recent expansion project and was
assigned as the major project throughout the internship. The project comprised of
The Ion Ore operations at Yandicoogina have a very high potential to create dust
from the open Iron Ore transportation through the different stages of the process
and the human impact within the environment. The main dust emissions are from:
• Blasting
• Vehicle movement
• Wind
• High levels of dust exposure or exposure over a long period of time has the
potential for health problems.
• The safety within the mine site operation is minimised with high levels of
dust as the visibility, is dramatically lowered and personal concerns such as
eye irritation.
[6]
• Vegetation rehabilitation
• Plan all works to be able to identify and minimise all potential dust
emissions
[6]
4.3 Hopper
The hopper bin contains the filter bags that collect the dust as the fan sucks air
through them. The hopper bin is the main centre point of the Dust collection
system, as the Fan, Rotary valve, Conveyor, and Pulse cleaning are all attached to
the Hopper. Figure 4-1 below shows the overall Dust Collection System and the
positioning of the equipment detailed in the following sections.

4.4 Fan
The dust collection system utilises a fan to extract dust from YCV212 surge bin,
YFB205, YFB206 (Feeder Belt) and YCV213 Conveyors, in to the Dust Collector
Hopper. The Hopper contains bags that collect the dust particles as the fan sucks
the air through them from the duct that separates into four as shown in Figure 4–2
YDU210FN01 Fan piping. The fan then disburses the dust free air through a
discharge vent supported by the fan. The specification of the extraction fan are:
Power: 25 kW

PLC I/O
• Start Relay
The I/O on the schematic diagram displayed as shown in figure 4-3. The
downwards arrow indicated that the wire from the PLC is connected in a
marshalling cubicle and the text on top indicates which terminal strip. In this cases
the PLC Input is connected to terminal strip P4 at terminal number 211 shown in
appendix K. The number next to the hexagon gives the PLC information, for
example in the figure 4-3 the PLC input is located in PLC 206 drop 4, Slot 6,
channel 9. The number within the hexagon indicates to PLC terminal number which
is explained in appendix M.
In figure 4-4 the PLC Output is connected to terminal strip P5 in between terminal
number 183 – 184 as shown in appendix L. The number next to the Oval gives the
PLC information, for example in the figure below the PLC Output is located in PLC
206 drop 4, Slot 11, channel 10. The number within the Oval indicates to PLC
terminal numbers which is explained in appendix M.
The marshalling cubicle indication explained above also indicates the wiring
between the different terminal strips. The different terminal strips used to denote
where the wires are terminated in the MCC within the Substation are P (PLC), R
(Relay), F (Field), and M (MCC starter motor). The clear indication between the
different terminal strips provides a standard organisation practice to maintain and
install new electrical works, and also makes for easy fault finding activities. Figure
4-5 shows the wiring between M2 – 224 and R3 – 108.
In figure 4-6 it displays the wire termination in the field. The Marshalling box
YDU210MB01 is located at the base of the YDU210 Dust Collection System, next to
the fan equipment and contains the termination strips A1 and B1. B1 is the
termination strip for the equipment in the field, and A1 is the termination strip that
is wired back to the MCC within substation. The example below shows that the field
start button is wired to B1 – 3 and B1 – 4 and then to A1 – 3 and A1 – 4. F2 – 146
and F2 – 147 is the termination location in the substation of the push button before
being wired to the P4 strip to go into PLC206, Drop 4, Slot 6.
Symbols
Figure 4-7 indicates two symbols that are important in understanding the schematic
diagram. The rectangles represent relays and the circles with a cross in the middle
represent Motor control centre module. Therefore, figure 4-7 indicates that relays
K40 and K42 are within the motor control.
If the motor control symbol does not appear around a relay symbol then the relay is
located within the Marshalling cubicle. These relays are Omron LY2N 24V DC
general purpose relay, where the 2 indicates the number of contacts and the N
indicates that the relays have LED indications that turn ON when voltage is applied
to the coil. Figure 4-8 shows the internal terminal arrangement of the relays, which
Figure 4-9 displays the three phase fan motor with the wiring component of the
Isolator (Q02) with indication (F07, F08, F09) Thermal overload (F02) and main
contactor (K18). These were then used throughout the remaining part of the
schematic diagram to indicate their states to the corresponding PLC inputs.
Line referencing is also a component of the schematic diagram that were required
to be understood. The example displayed in figure 4-10 shows that the wire
continues at line 42 and shown in figure 4-11. There are also line references that
refer to other diagrams, the wire will have a diagram reference also shown in the
figure 4-11.
The functionality of the Rotary valve is to empty the dust accumulation in the
bottom of the Hopper. The rotary valve shaft rotates, creating a passages for the
Iron Ore to move from the bottom of the hopper to the below conveyor. The device
used to trigger the running of the valve is a rotary paddle bin monitor, which
indicated the hopper dust level by the bin monitor paddle ceasing to move and
signalling that there is a blockage in the hopper. When there is no dust build up the
bin monitor paddle rotates freely inside the hopper.
• Start Relay
4.6 Conveyor
The Dust Collector Conveyor Tail is located underneath YDU210RV01 Rotary valve
and the Head is above YCV213 Conveyor, it is used to transfer the fine dirt particles
back onto the YCV213 process conveyor that continues to the loop Screen House.
The Conveyor electrical connections information obtained from appendix I and was
used to create the control logic. The main features of the diagram have the same
layout as the Rotary Valve, however there are additional Pull wire switches and start
warning siren, shown figure 4-15, 4-16 and 4-17. The Pull wire switches are
compulsory on all conveyors as they provide an emergency stop then near the
conveyor. The start warning siren is put in place to warn any nearby personal that
the conveyor is about to start.
• Start Relay
The Jet Pulse Cleaning Control Panel is a standalone filter cleaning control system
for reverse jet-pulse dust collectors. The system has a control interface which
controls the pulse cleaning system however, there are signal I/O options. Every
Dust Collection System at Yandicoogina has a Pulse Panel fitted to the dust collector
The Inputs and Outputs communication between the Pulse cleaner and the
appropriate PLC are:
High dP Alarm Indicates that differential Pressure has reached the programmed alarm
trigger
Service Alarm Indicates that either 100K, 500K or 950K cycles have been reached
Low header alarm Indicates low tank pressure, when connected to an appropriate switch.
Differential Pressure 4-20mA output indicating the pressure difference between the clean
and dirty side of the hopper bags
Reset General Alarm Resets all alarms but the service alarm
Demand / Continuous switch Allows remote switching between continuous and demand control
modes
Blowdown cycle There is a input to the control panel that allows for the fan to be
hardwired to activate a final cleaning cycle, however this has been
connected to a PLC output, therefore the PLC can initiate a blowdown
cycle

Solenoid
4.8 Conclusion
This chapter has given a detailed explanation of the equipment that comprises the
YDU210 Dust Collection System. The Dust Collection System has been identified as
a key contributor to the minimisation of dust at Yandicoogina therefore, it will be a
great asset to complete the YDU210 Dust Collection System project.
The aim of this chapter is to explain the control theory, implementation and
functionality of the YDU210 – Dust Collection System. The Yandicoogina network
section will include an explanation of the network configuration on site with details
of some of the components. In the following sections the required functional
specification document will be detailed, and then a description of the ProWORXs
and Citect implementation is outlined.
The network configuration was not a major concern in the works of the YDU210
Dust Collection system as all the schematics diagrams had been created and
provided from the expansion project that was been previously mentioned before as
the YDU210 was installed during the recent expansion project. A basic
The functional specification document was a requirement for the project to give a
detailed control philosophy of the YDU210 Dust Collection System. A functional
specification document is created for all control systems within Rio Tinto, as it
allows other personnel to enquire information about the control systems and
familiarise them self with the process flow to gain greater understanding of the
process and equipment requirements from a control perspective.
• Process Description
• Sequence interlocks
• Fault Handling
The description of the YDU210 Dust Collector Control process with the associated
equipment which, includes the YDU210FN01 Fan, YDU210RV01 Rotary Valve,
YDU210CV01 Conveyor, and the YDU210PN01 Pulse cleaning system, has been
displayed below in Table 5-1 and Figure 5-2. Table 5-1 steps through the automatic
process flow and shows which conditions will effect the course of the of operations.
For example if YCV213 is auto running and all of the YDU210 Dust Collection
System equipment is auto ready and its status is healthy then the YDU210 fan will
start and if it starts and the differential pressure in the hopper is low then the fan
will continue to run without the pulse cleaner running.

diagram
Figure 5-2 graphically displays the table 5-1, as it shows the auto sequence of the
Dust Collection System. The diagram runs is a cyclic motion to represent the action
of the PLC’s scan cycle. For example if all of the YDU210 equipment is healthy and
YCV212 is running then the fan will start, checks the differential pressure and the
hopper level. If the differential pressure and hopper level are both low then the
cycle starts at the beginning again, checking the status of all the equipment and
whether YCV212 is still running, and then the differential pressure and hopper
level. This cycle continues until one of the conditions changes.
At the completion of creating the process flow description the required interlocks
were determined. The three types of interlocks defined throughout the creation of
the functional specification process are:
• Critical interlocks, determine what conditions will cause the motor for each
piece of equipment to cease operation or not allow the equipment to start.
• Non Critical interlocks, indicate situations will cause the equipment to trip
however the severity in minimal compared to the critical interlocks
The critical, non critical and sequence interlocks for the Fan, Rotary Valve,
Conveyor and Pulse cleaner are defined as follows:

After creating the functional specification document and review of the previous
ProWORXs tasks undertaken at Yandicoogina and the logic implementation was
commenced. Before implementation a hard copy of the logic and a list of all the
logic that needed an assigned address were created [see appendix O]. The addition
of the Dust Collection System ladder logic in ProWORXs was split into four sections
as follows:
• YDU210 FN01
• YDU210 PN01
• YDU210 RV01
• Critical interlocks
• Alarm reset
• Mode selection section consists of the logic allowing for the entering of either
Auto, Maintenance (maint) or Out Of Service (OOS) mode
• Auto Sequence consists of the logic that allows for the auto start seal
interlock to be energised
• Maintenance Sequence consists of the logic that allows for the maintenance
start seal interlock to be energised
The main concern when programming in ProWORX was the address allocations.
When the task of implementing all the logic was undertaken, the layout of YPL206
register were investigated and locations of the required trips/warning,
timer/counters, Citect commands registers were noted and checked using three
methods to determine that the addresses were not currently in use. These methods
included searching for the addressed using the search tool, using an up to date logic
traffic cop to see if the addresses indicated if they were being used, and finally the
checking if there were any descriptors allocated to the address in question these are
indicated in the figure 5-3.
Both the T0.1 and the T1.0 timers are used for delays. The T1.0 represents that the
timer is in seconds and T0.1 is the tenths of seconds for example if the timer preset
equals #00030 in a T1.0 timer is 30 seconds and in a T0.1 timer is 3 seconds.
The UCTR is an upwards counter with the counter preset setting the maximum
counting limit and the accumulated count indicating the present count number. The
counter is initiated when both the input controls are active and the counter is reset
when the reset accumulator is de-energised. The top output is energised when the
preset and accumulated are equal and the bottom is energised at all times until the
preset and accumulated are equal.
5.4.1 Fan
The control logic for the fan has been created to follow the sequence
stipulated in the functional specification document and can be viewed in
appendix P. The fan will only operate when the YCV212 conveyor is running
The control logic for the rotary valve has been created to follow the sequence
stipulated in the functional specification document and can be viewed in
appendix P. The rotary valve will only operate when the YDU210 conveyor is
running and the hopper high level activated when the rotary valve is in auto
mode. However, in maintenance mode the rotary valve will operate when the
YDU210 conveyor is running and it is given a start command provided that
the critical interlocks are healthy.
5.4.3 Conveyor
The control logic for the conveyor has been created to follow the sequence
stipulated in the functional specification document and can be viewed in
appendix P. The conveyor will only operate when YCV213 conveyor is
running and also has been given the “required to run” signal when in auto
mode. However in maintenance mode the conveyor will operate when the
YCV213 conveyor is running and it is given a start command provided that
the critical interlocks are healthy.
The pulse cleaner is not controlled by the PLC, therefore it does not have the
same sequence logic operations as the fan, conveyor and rotary valve. The
pulse cleaner has an onboard controller that controls the initiation of the
pulse cleaning cycles and when cycling is no longer required. The pulse
cleaner does however send signals to the PLC indicating alarms, cycle
initiation and differential pressure reading. It also receives signals from the
PLC to reset alarms and initiate blowdown cycles. The PLC can be used to
control more of the operation of the pulse cleaner, however this has not been
included in the logic as it is the function of the pulse cleaner controller.
The display of the Dust Collection System was created within Citect as shown in
figure 5-7. The format of the YDU210 Dust Collection System follows the same
format as the other Dust Collection Systems on site. The physical display of the Fan,
Rotary Valve and Conveyor were obtained from a Dust Collection System that
followed the same layout as the YDU210 Dust Collection System. In the next four
sub-sections the Citect display and corresponding mimic pages will be discussed for
each piece of equipment that comprises the YDU210 Dust Collection System. Figure
5-7 displays the layout of the YDU210 system in Citect.
5.5.1 Fan
The Fan mimic display and corresponding text is situated at the top of the
YDU210 Dust Collection System. The text is programmed to open the
YDU210FN01 popup mimic page when selected with the left mouse button. If
selected with the right mouse button the text has been programmed to open
a standard control panel, however this can only be accessed with the
appropriate access such as the engineering or controller login access. The
Control panel contains five buttons which include Start, Stop, Auto,
Maintenance and OOS. When selecting Auto, Citect communicates with
PorWORXs and allows the Auto Mode to be entered which proceed the fan to
run in auto. Selecting Maintenance allows the fan to enter the
maintenanceenance mode, when in Maintenanceenance mode the Citect
Start and Stop buttons or the field Start and Lock off stop button is required
to be pressed for the fan to follow the corresponding action.
The Fan mimic pages follow the same format as the mimic pages created and
used for other Dust Collection System fans already located in the Citect
explorer. With using the already created pages the underlining programming
is required to be understood otherwise there will be errors in the Citect
display status of the fan compared to the ProWORXs status. The following
creation description of the fan mimic pages are the same for all the mimic
pages created throughout the task of adding YDU210 Dust Collection System
to the required corresponding main Citect pages.
At the beginning of the task a similar fan and interlock mimic pages were
found by looking through other Dust Collection Fan mimic pages in the
development version of Citect. The development version is where all changes
to the Citect displays are made before compiling and rolling out to all of
Yandi’s Runtime Citect access. Once the pages were found copies were saved
into the correct project file with the corresponding title and location, as the
YDU210FN01 text is programmed to open the corresponding mimic page. If
the process of editing happen on the existing pages, problems would arise
with the Dust Collection system as the pages would display information from
the wrong tags as all pages use a standard genie. The next step in creating the
new pages is understand the underlining programming which has been
previously created and using different genies, super genies and cicode.
In the main fan mimic page the faces change their picture status from
referencing the different variable tags, for example 24VDC Supply face
reference YDU210DCOK and YDU210DCOK_T. The genie tag referencing is
defined by the displayed in figure 5-10. The description is the text added
beside the face to notify what the face is representing, and the tag field
stipulates which variable tag is used for this face display.
Using cicode and genies the tag text is added to the sections shown below,
and the corresponding faces are displayed depending on the status that is
received from ProWORXs. This programming is applied to all the face
displays on the YDU210FN01 page.
A %Tag%
B %Tag%_T
The interlocks page displays the information that was determined for the
functional specification document as stated in the sequence interlock section.
This page is accessed from the “i” at the bottom of the YDU210FN01 page.
The Variable Tags added to the 206 Citect project for the YDU210 fan are:

stated in the fan section. The difference between the two displays is that the
conveyor has additional face displays which include under speed, pull wire 1
and pull wire 2.

The Citect pulse cleaning display was created following the same procedure
as stated in the fan section however referencing the correct corresponding
pages. There is a significant difference between the previous three equipment
status page displays as the YDU210PN01 pulse cleaning window conveys all
the information concerning the Precision P2 pulse cleaning controller. There
are also three additional buttons on the YDU210PN01 window and one on
the YDU210 Diagnostics window which have the functionality of:
YDU210 Diagnostics
• The reset button on this page allows for the reset of all the figures that
are presented on the window only with privileged access, for example,

5.6 Conclusion
The intentions of this chapter stipulated an introduction to the control design and
implementation for the YDU210 Dust Collection System and achieved through the
sections of:
• Yandicoogina network
• Functional specification
• ProWORX32 logic
• Citect
The information provided in this chapter concerns the fundamentals of the YDU210
Dust Collection System control philosophy. The use of ProWORXs and Citect have
been an exceptional learning experience, as the knowledge required and obtained to
complete the control aspect of this project can be used in future control software
encounters as the fundamental principle of leaning and obtaining new skills can be
used. Once the programming implementation was completed the communications
were tested between the two programs. This was done by pressing buttons on Citect
and validating with the online state logic. Also forcing different coils on and off and
viewing the display changes on Citect. Aside form the control logic and display the
work progression on the Dust Collection System will be discussed in the next
chapter.
6.1 Introduction
This chapter will go through the sequence of events that took place on the YDU210
Dust Collection System during the course of the internship up to the 13th of
November 2008. However, the final results of the project will not be included as the
internship finishes after the submission of this report. The sequence includes:
1. Maintenance Order
2. Point-to-Point Testing
4. Commissioning
A Maintenance order is a process put in place within Rio Tinto Iron Ore to keep
track of all works that are:
• Completed or incomplete
• Results or outcomes
The first Maintenance order requested for the YDU210 – Dust Collection System
was to investigate what is required to commission the system. This request was
made and completed before the commencement of the internship but the
information was past on to assist in understanding the current status of the Dust
Collection System.
The rotary valve motor cable was checked by meggering the cable which is when the
cable is feed a high DC voltage for several minutes and megohmeter indicated the
current leakage through the insulation. The wiring in the MCC was said to be
complete, and the motor connections still needed to be checked. The motor was not
checked with this maintenance order as it was stated that scaffolding is required.
Also it was observed that a contactor was required.
YDU210FN01 – Fan
The fan undertook the same test as the rotary valve, and the motor connection was
able to be checked, and the statement received was that it is all complete and the
megger result was good.
YDU210CV01 - Conveyor
The Conveyor also went through the same tests, the megger test result came back as
down therefore the motor connection may not be connected and this is unknown as
the motor can not be check went production is happening.
At the commencement of the project a point-to-point test was required on all of the
wiring detailed in the schematic diagrams for the YDU210 Dust Collection System.
The reason for performing a point-to-point test was to determine if all wiring was
completed, and in the correct location from installation. The uncertainty of the
wiring was created through the time period between installation and
commissioning. An electrician was required to help perform the point-to-point test
which in turn required a maintenance order to be able to schedule and allow
enough time to complete the test. Determining whether the wiring is done correctly
by measuring the resistance in Ohms between two points and if the resistance is
zero or really low this indicates that a wire is present.
• YDU210PS01 – Air pressure sensor missing, and installation and wiring are
needed.
R3 - 134 F2 – 184
Refer to appendix I
R3 - 113 P4 - 217
Refer to appendix L
• The Black and White wires that are wired into 206-4-07 need to be reversed
The Scope Of Work (SOW) is a document that is prepared to detail the work
required on a specific project, while defining and reinstating the:
• Safety
• General information about Rio Tinto Iron Ore and it is policies and
procedures
• Requirements of the contractors before during and after the works stipulated
in the SOW
When creating a SOW for the YDU210 Dust Collection System an internal template
was used from the Rio Tinto Shared drive. The template provided information
about what is required in each section and the additional help from reviewing other
SOW and the Engineering Superintendent allowed for the SOW to be completed
and passed onto the Contractors completing the required electrical works. The
Work stipulated in the SOW is the electrical works that were found not completed
through the point-to-point testing and are listed above.
When determining what switches could be installed for the compressed air pressure
and under speed switches an investigation took place by looking at other Dust
Collection Systems on site and trying to obtain any documentation on the YDU210
installation. Two types of air pressure switches were found, as shown in figure 6-1
and 6-2. The installation requirements and the availability of the switch were taken
into consideration when deciding between the different switches. The GAW-5
pressure switch was chosen as the other switch required the additional work of
drilling and taping into the top of the manifold. Once the type of switch to be used
was identified the availability of the switch was determined, as a spare GAW-5 was
found on site.
Location of the
Pressure Switch to
be installed
6.5 Construction
The commencement of the electrical work outlined in the SOW started on the 1st of
November and the work completed in the following two days included:
• Installation and wiring of the compressed air pressure switch, which can be
seen in figures below.
The other work that has also been completed on the YDU210 Dust Collection
System was to fix the compressed air supply pipe. Maintenance supervisor was
approached and asked to fix the compressed air supply pipe and was completed.
The piping was fixed by removing the section of pipe between the broken nipple
fitting and the next nipple fitting and was replaced with a new piece of piping using
barrel union fitting on both ends. The barrel union fittings were used as they allow
for easier installation due to the swivel connection on one side of the fitting.
The Commissioning of the YDU210 Dust Collection System has not occurred,
however in the remaining four weeks of the internship the commissioning is
scheduled to be completed.
6.7 Conclusion
The sequence of events throughout the internship that have been completed and
detailed in this chapter have created opportunities to communicate with different
departments and companies, and also get a greater understanding and appreciation
of the different procedures that are required throughout the course of a project. The
progression of the project would have altered somewhat if not under the timeline
constraints of the internship, however all procedures were completed and
alternative procedures were discussed. The remaining tasks required to be able to
commission the YDU210 Dust Collection System will be discussed in the next
chapter and are on track to be completed during the remaining time of the
internship.
Throughout the course of the internship many different activities that gave different
experiences such as:
• Working with the fixed plant electrical team gave an understanding of the
site operation.
• Organising the electrical works on the YDU210 Dust Collection System and
continuing the forward progression of the project allowed for the
experience of self management and engineering planning practices
Overall the internship has been a great asset to the completion of the Murdoch
University Bachelor of Engineering degree as it gave practical engineering
experience and allowed for the development of new competencies that can be used
in the future as an engineer.
The project work completed for the YDU210 Dust Collection System from the
commencement of the engineering internship to the 13th of November has been
detailed throughout this report and is summarised below:
• SOW document
• Point-to-point testing
• Electrical works
As the completion of the internship falls after the submission of the final report
there will be further progression on the project. The commissioning of the YDU210
Dust Collection System at present will be completed by the end of the internship.
Also the task of investigating and scoping the work required for installing and
commissioning of a replacement ORCA bed level sensor for the thickener tank in
the wet plant, has been allocated with intentions of completing the SOW by the end
of the internship. However the installation and commissioning will most likely
proceed after the completion of the internship.
• Checking all manual and automatic contacts and interlocks within the
relevant plant and equipment
Future recommendations for the YDU210 Dust Collection System is to install the
rotary valve under speed switch, which is currently been forced active in the control
logic due to no switch being present so the rotary valve will run. The pulse cleaning
control logic could be changed to allow for full automatic control through the PLC
however this will not utilise the functionality of the Pulse Cleaning controller.
Finally an optional suggestion for the Dust Collection System is to install a draining
on the compressed air pipe as the air is supplied from the process compressor and
may contain traces of water and oil that will affect the efficiency of the dust collector
over time.

The page below can be accessed through the stacker 2 page if ‘Limits & Analogs’ is selected.
The green arrow demarcates the added analog belt speed that has been created.
The below window will pop up on top of the above screen then the right mouse button is
pressed over the belt speed reading. This occurs as the Citect mimic has been programmed to
call on that trend.
Variable Tags
When creating new displays in Citect that reference back to a PLC, a variable tag needs to be
created for each input address that Citect will be looking at. In the case of the Belt speed
display there were only two tags that needed to be added, which were the scaled belt speed
integer valve and the digital broken wire indication.

Trend Tags
A Trend tag was required to be created, this is done by entering the correct information in the
below window and pressing enter. The Trend that was displayed above reference a trend tag
which defines the parameter of the trend and the file to which the data will be stored.
Alarm Tags
In the case of the belt speed display addition the only alarm tags required to be added was the
broken wire warning. The alarm tag is triggered by the variable tag and a description is given
when making the alarm tag so when the alarm pops up the alarm is identifiable. Also the other
parameters that are entered when creating the alarm tags are the category and area fields
which are used to select which alarms are wanted to be viewed on the alarm window.
