Hydrogen-Fuel Cell

Began on past March 2008, I am join with Automation Engineering Division, PT. Sinar Inti Electrindo Raya as Automation Project Engineer. Before that, PT. SIER had the several automation project, such as 50 TPD (Ton per Day) Biodiesel Plant in North Jakarta, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisitions) in IKPP Riau and Crushing Area and Barge Loading for KAYAN in Kalimantan.

After that, I am join to team of Biodiesel Plant. Then I choose to develop the user friendly interface for control and process monitoring of physical variables on biodiesel plant. Actually, this interface had been develop by other team but not finished well. With my capability on HMI (Human Machine Interface) Wonderware Intouch 10, I choose my self to repair and finish the HMI development.

My scope of work on HMI Development of biodiesel plant are

• Repair and modification the static display so could close enough to represent the actual process on biodiesel plant.
• Embedded the historical trends and data logging table to record and display the physical process variables, such as mass flow, volume flow, temperature, level, and pressure.
• Optimize the usage of I/O tagname so could handle most of control and monitoring process variables.
• Create the input paramaters for PID (Proportional, Integral and Derivative) controller. The PID will handle the single close loop control system. Its will help the operator when conduct fine tuning of PID controller. PID will adjust the speed of motor drive so the process variable could close enough to the set point parameter.

When project team perform the commisioning, I became the project lead to help the instrument services and callibrations. Beside that, I am also help to check the analog signal (4 - 20 mA) from field instruments to PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and DC power to instruments.

After we could ensure all of the instruments, relay contactors, inverters and PLC hardware could running as well, then we conduct to trial running of biodiesel plant. During the trial running, there is no significant problem that disturb variables process.

For the safety standard operational procedure, I am also built a security level on HMI. I set the available menu for operator, supervisor, and administrator. The security level will help owner to monitoring all process variables on biodiesel plant and who is have sign in and that they doing while biodiesel plant running.

While I conduct commisioning of biodiesel plant, Automation Engineering Division of PT. SIER have a great deal with the new automation project, which is Crushing Area and Barge Loading for PT. Berau Coal in Kalimantan. As general, the automation system is similar with KAYAN, but there are significant facilities that embeded on this project, which are using one HMI to control 3 PLC, Allen Bradley SLC 5/05 PLC netwoking and temperature aquisitions data (modbus protocol).

I have responsibility to decide what kind of HMI type that suitable for this project. With the little information about wonderware product, I decide to develop HMI using Archestra Patch 03. This software offering very nice user interface HMI, best animation capabilities, smart symbol libraries and possibility to save many tagname usage. As you can see on left side, this is the HMI that I have develop for crushing area and barge loading PT. Berau Coal. You can see how it very nice HMI runtime. The wonderware representative in Indonesia also told me if Wonderware Archestra that realease on May 2008 is the best HMI on this year, it become the leading HMI development nowdays.

Of course, I could ensure that Wonderware Archestra very suitable and stable HMI for all automation control and monitoring. As you can see above, I have build the standard HMI that have summaries and historical alarm record, historical trend, configuration for security level, general emergency stop, real time clock, popup menu for special case operation, etc.

Because the owner requirement, I develop HMI for stand alone application. This means, HMI just monitoring one plant at moment. HMI can’t comunicate with other existing HMI or sent process data to server computer. All of automation control and monitoring just in field control room. If the enterprise level need some of field data, he should ask the HMI operator to print out the document data.

The general procedure of HMI development using Wonderware Archestra are :

• Create the galaxy database on Archestra Environment. You should decide to use Based_InTouch.cab or Based_Application_Server.cab development. By creating the galaxy database you would have many archestra symbol libraries that could embeded on your HMI template (Intouch WindowMaker).
• Create new template that connected with Intouch WindowMaker. When you are working on Intouch WindowMaker in Archestra environment, you could embeded archestra symbol libraries as you want.
• Beside that, you could edit the standard symbol or create new symbol or unite many symbols to become one symbol.
• When you create new symbol that consist of archestra standard symbol, you could insert script for animation or controlling. The basic programming script on Archestra enviroment do not use tagname. This is different with Intouch, where the basic programming script need the tagname definition. You could imagine when your customer need very complex HMI function and animation. You should have define many memory tagname that I think its useless because the runtime licence is base tagname usage. But when you use Archestra development this problem solve as well and you could save more the tagname usage. It means that you could develop competitive HMI for your customer.
• Of course, you need the best hardware computer because when you want develop HMI using Wonderware Archestra you need Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Patch 2.

Wonderware Intouch 10 could used to develop an excellent HMI for Chemical Process, Petrochemical, Oil & Gas, Material Handling, Steel Furnace, etc. Wonderware Intouch could give most function that needed HMI.

But the nowdays there is the best HMI from Wonderware, which is Wonderware Archestra. by using the Wonderware Archestra, we could maximaze the usage of I/O tagname, embeded the nice symbol and animation, and easy HMI development for the other project.

If you need a service on HMI programming, I could help you to develop HMI for your project by using Wonderware Intouch or Archestra. I could offer the competitive cost for the HMI programming service.
