ProSoft Technology Mining Solutions

Solutions for Various ApplicationsOur communication solutions have been designed for the harsh environments in mining. Mining functions such as stacker/reclaimers, open pit and underground extraction, and conveyance of materials use drives, motor control centers and SCADA systems that may not communicate with your new control system. We have communication solutions for:

•Modbus® •Modbus® TCP/IP •PROFINET •EtherNet/IP™ •PROFIBUS DP •HART •Many more

With these solutions you will not only control these systems but be able to gather additional data that can be analyzed and acted upon to reduce energy and downtime.

Need to monitor video cameras, deploy a mobile worker network or just monitor some remote I/O points? Running cables is always a challenge in these environments. Our industrial wireless solutions will help you get the data you need where you need it reliably. Our wireless experts can help you design the best solution for your application:

•802.11n •4G LTE •Frequency Hopping

Substation and Intelligent Motor Control Applications

Substation Automation Solutions

Power distribution plays a big part in every mine, and being able to monitor your substation devices is critical. These devices often communicate via:

•DNP3

•IEC 61850

•Modbus®

•Modbus® TCP/IP

•IEC 60870-5-101

•IEC 60870-5-104

Our solutions communicate with DCS systems, Rockwell Automation®, Schneider Electric®, Siemens®, or GE controllers or SCADA systems to ensure that you’ll have the information that you need when you need it.

These communication solutions can help you:

•Monitor the status of your intelligent electronic devices (IEDs)

•Determine protections status to ensure that your operation is running safely

•Monitor and control circuit breakers

Intelligent Motor Control Centers

IMCCs contain power monitors, circuit breakers, intelligent motor starters, drives, and soft starters that are connected to a network and need to be connected to your controller and/or SCADA system. We offer solutions for:

•EtherNet/IP™

•Modbus® TCP/IP

•PROFIBUS DP

•Modbus® Serial

•PROFINET

Having the data supplied by these devices where you need it will help you diagnose and troubleshoot problems, or analyze operational performance quickly. This can minimize your unscheduled downtime and improve your bottom line.

Our protocol solutions help gather valuable data from many mining operations’ systems, including substation and water/wastewater areas. Our wireless solutions help you know where your important assets are, including your workers.

ProSoft Technology Mining Solutions

WirelessIn a wide-ranging mining operation, a strong wireless communications network is essential. ProSoft Technology has a number of solutions that can strengthen the communications for your application, whether it’s smaller or operating worldwide.

Migration/ModernizationMaintaining and upgrading old control equipment when you ran out of spares used to require significant downtime and require an entire system to be upgraded. The new system would need to be wired, programmed, personnel trained and new spares brought into stock. But what if the upgrade went on longer than planned?

We have good news: ProSoft Technology can help with our Phased Migration solutions. Our products allow you to modernize your control system in phases, according to your timetable, and help you minimize scheduled downtime, spread out the costs involved, and minimize risk.

Legacy Allen-Bradley® PLCs, Drives, PanelViews and FLEX™ I/O

With our AN-X2-AB-DHRIO Migration Gateway, you can upgrade a variety of different devices in your operation.

Upgrade your Remote I/O™ drive to a new PowerFlex® EtherNet/IP™ drive with no changes required in your PLC code

Upgrade your Remote I/O and DH+™ PanelViews to EtherNet/IP PanelView™ Plus terminals

Upgrade your Remote I/O adapters for FLEX I/O to EtherNet/IP adapters

Upgrade your PLC-5®/SLC™ to a CompactLogix™ controller by allowing your new PAC to control existing Remote I/O devices

Our Industrial Hotspot radios feature an EtherNet/IP™ embedded object and

Modbus® agent support, allowing you to get wireless diagnostic information into your PAC/PLC. Your operators can now identify potential network problems to your IT network personnel, helping to reduce unscheduled downtime. The radios also feature Ultra-Fast access point switchover

times, which allow your real-time control networks to be run wirelessly. This is great for applications where your control devices move and need access to multiple radios.

Knowing where your assets are can improve efficiency and help keep your workers safe. Our Industrial Hotspots support AeroScout® tag tracking. Using an AeroScout system and our radios, you are able to monitor the location of any asset, such as trucks and people. Knowing where these important assets are can help you improve efficiency and worker safety. For example: If you knew where your workers were in a underground mine, you could save energy by only supplying the air where it is needed.

One of the keys to minimizing unscheduled downtime is getting the right person the information they need where they are. Using our 4G LTE Industrial Cellular Gateway in conjunction with ProSoft Connect, your support personnel can securely access your automation equipment remotely. ProSoft Connect is our secure, cloud-native platform designed to help you get value out of the Industrial Internet of Things. All your support people need is access to the internet and they can use their standard configuration tools as though they were connected to the local Ethernet switch in the cabinet.
