Electronic Pot Controller for Aluminum Smelter Plants is a Fully Distributed Process Control System consisting of micro-controllers, one for each reduction cell. The heart of the system is a Host Computer [HC] which can range from a single PC to a number of PCs on a network. Electronic Pot Controller for Aluminum Smelter Plants is manufactured by Hamilton Research & Technology Pvt. Ltd. Hamilton Research & Technology Pvt. Ltd., an ISO 9001:2008 certified company designs and develops electronics and software products. Electronic Pot Controller for Aluminum Smelter Plants is designed for the purpose of automatically controlling reduction cell in Aluminum Smelter Plants.
Each EPC consists of embedded controller with Analog to Digital conversion, digital input/output capability, communication sub-system and front panel with display devices and push button switches. EPC software provides anode movement control and Aluminum feed control based on a predetermined strategy for each reduction cell. It also maintains a history information like cell operating parameters, various events and exceptions for each cell. When connected to the HC the system provides for data acquisition and report generation facilities. Parameters of the EPC can be set and modified through the HC to adjust the control algorithm.
