DigitARC® PX3
Forms the foundation of AMI’s optimization solutions for all EAFs, providing state-of-the-art electrode control and advanced monitoring tools for heat performance, all within a practical and user-friendly interface.
- Core functionalities
- Open access with user-friendly interface
- 2 CPUs (embedded dedicated control, not PLC-based, for measurement and control, storage, intercommunication tasks, CPU for HMI, advanced diagnostics and analysis tools)
- Compatible with all PLCs for EAF control
- Advanced Features
- Automatic hydraulic pressure monitoring and Dynamic NCC
- Automatic test of electrode response
- Advanced diagnostics & analysis tools
- Primary Voltage and Current monitoring
- Ultra-high resolution electrode mast speed sensor
- High speed electrode pressure reading
- Commands fast raise and blocking valve directly
- Reduce electrode consumption. A more stable control of the electric arc directly influences the consumption of the electrodes.
- Improve arc stability and electric power input. A faster response allows for a better control of the arc stability. This allows to stably run higher power input levels, increasing active power.
- Minimize electrode breakages. With advanced algorithms for detecting non-conductive charges, scrap cave-ins and the diagnostics for hydromechanics system performance.
