MIPAC has developed a standardised Rockwell Automation ControlLogix and Wonderware Archestra framework which can save up to 300 engineering hours and tens of thousands of dollars on the average automation project.

This framework — designed for the exclusive benefit of MIPAC’s key clients — comprises a library of objects which enable a project’s rapid configuration, and allow automation engineers to focus on automating processes.

The unique framework supports the following features:

• objects to support alarming and set points managed within the PLC
• ease of configuration with functionality similar to a DCS
• standard window layouts and navigation standards
• multiple monitor support
• windows for alarm summary, alarm history, event history, help files and reports
• ControlLogix function block library
• built-in I/O simulation capability
• analog signals with standard HH, H, L, LL, out-of-range and deviation alarms with time delays and deadbands.

MIPAC’s engineers are working closely with Xstrata Technology to provide tailored design, control, instrumentation and commissioning for at least a dozen IsaMill™ installations in Canada, Peru and Australia.

The IsaMill™, the most energy efficient, highest-intensity, large-scale grinding machine on the market, has a smaller footprint than equivalent ball and tower mills, and more streamlined installation and maintenance requirements.

MIPAC recently welcomed five engineers from Chinese firm Yunnan Chihong Zn & Ge Co and their interpreter to Brisbane for four weeks’ training on operating and maintaining a Distributed Control System (DCS).

The engineers will be working on the Huize lead smelter project in China’s Yunnan province for which Xstrata Technology is providing a lead smelting technology licence, and engineering, equipment and commissioning services.
