System integration made easy for

Chinese subway line

Guangzhou Metro Line in China connected various monitoring equipment

to ControlNet using soluons from Rockwell Automaon and the Anybus

Communicator from HMS.

The Guangzhou Metro Line 5 spans 40 kilometers east to

west through Guangzhou City. The line includes 24 staons and has a

capacity of transporng a whopping 50 million passengers per day.

Like all modern subway lines, the Guangzhou Metro Line 5

has a comprehensive monitoring system overlooking venlaon,

air condioning, water supply, drainage, elevators etc.

The Challenge

The Metro Line system has numerous points with large amounts of data.

The monitoring system has a total of about 210,000 I/O points. The enre

project was forecasted to contain 280,000 points, of which 70,000 points

were allocated to the BAS system. Consequently, system integraon required

a great deal of work and deadlines were ght – 24 staons were to be

simultaneously opened. Indeed, never before in the country had so many

staons been opened at one me.

The Solution

The Rockwell Automaon system is widely used in the rail transport eld. The

central segment of the Metro Line 5 BAS system uses ControlLogix Redundancy

Controllers from the Rockwell Automaon Integrated Architecture plaorm.

Together with the Anybus Communicator ControlNet gateway, devices with a

serial RS-485 interface with a custom protocol were easily integrated into the

system.

The BAS system was implemented one month before Guangzhou Metro Line

5 was successfully commissioned. The system integraon was carried out by

Beijing-based HollySys Automaon Technologies.

Case Study: Protocol conversion

Soluon: Device connecvity using a custom serial protocol

Country: China

Company: Guangzhou Metro

Summary: Anybus Communicator enables

communicaon between dierent

devices in Guangzhou Metro’s surveillance

system and the ControlNet network.

“The Communicator required no programming and was congured to use a uniform method to

access subsystems; thereby, saving us a great deal of me in the project implementaon stage.”

Zhao Feng, HollySys’ project manager of the Guangzhou Metro Line 5 project.

Automation: a must to be able to compete on

the global market

C.I.A. Automaon and Robocs has extensive experience in the eld

of advanced automaon, proposed as a strategic tool to increase the

compeveness of Italian companies in the world. It oers advanced

technologies such as laser scanners, stereoscopic vision equipment and

systems that can reproduce a die and copy it directly, automacally

recomposing the scanning scaergrams, a very dierenang soluon.

The Challenge

“We have produced automaon systems, tesng benches and machinery

managed by PLCs and Scada systems for the foodstus, chemical, glass,

plascs, metalworking, metallurgical and automobile industries”, explained

Mr Angelo Galimber, the sole director of C.I.A. Automaon and Robocs.

“As well as many other applicaons, such as robosed staons for servo-

mechanical machinery, pallesaon lines, assembly lines and processing

lines such as for handling, cung, hot and cold pressing, welding, tacking,

inducon, brazing, deburring, etc.” As most of C.I.A Automaon and Robocs

applicaons are specic, they have to interface dierent kinds of devices in

their automac systems that use dierent communicaon protocols.

The Solution

“We have produced various equipment with PROFIBUS master PLCs and

DeviceNet slaves, or with DeviceNet master PLCs and PROFIBUS slaves, and so

on”, said Galimber. “HMS products have enabled us to resolve and simplify

a number of these applicaons. The protocols we use the most are PROFIBUS

and DeviceNet, which cover almost 90% of the cases we deal with involving

robots and PLCs.”

The Result

He added that C.I.A. was sased with the performance of HMS products and

that no major problems were encountered. “I believe that we will connue to

nd space for HMS products in our future applicaons, whenever we need to

interface system parts that use dierent communicaon protocols”, concluded

the director of C.I.A. Automaon & Robocs.

Summary: Anybus X-gateways provide robots

with connecvity to several

industrial networks such as for

example PROFIBUS and DeviceNet.

“This need for exibility in diverse design condions led us to try HMS products, which we

appreciated immediately because they are parcularly comprehensive and can be used to

interface dierent kinds of machines, even pre-exisng machinery.”

Angelo Galimber, Director of C.I.A. Automaon and Robocs.
