Course description

H658
IndustrialIT 800xA Applications for Minerals Engineering with
E-Base and Control Builder
Course goal
The goal of this course is to learn to follow the engineering
workflow and utilize the Engineering Base (E-Base) to handle
bulk data and create efficiently and professionally Minerals
IT
control applications to be run on the Industrial Extended
Automation System 800xA with AC 800M controllers.

Topics
Engineering workflow
Minerals Library
E-Base structures and navigation

Learning objectives

Introduction to E-Base Electrical

Upon completion of this course the participants will be able

to:
Engineer a minerals plant automation system

Application configuration with E-Base

Configure an application in E-Base

- Import customer data
- Generate data via typicals
- Perform the I/O allocation
- Configure start/stop sequences
- Define interlocks, alarm limits, event texts, etc.
Plan I/O panels
Allocate signals to I/O boards
Export to Control Builder M
Participant profile
This training is targeted to engineering and planning
personnel responsible for the bulk data handling and control
programming for minerals applications at the start phase of
the project.
Prerequisites
Participants should have attended the course H651B
IT
Industrial 800xA Applications for Minerals Configuration
and Operation.

- Import data and compare

- I/O allocation
- Function/object types
- Start- and stop sequences
- Parameterized interlocks
- Alarm and event definitions
Export to Control Builder M
Programming of pre-selections and additional interlocks

Visualization of objects
Online testing
Course type and methods
This is an instructor led course with lectures, demonstrations,
interactive discussions and practical exercises. After the
introduction and general handling part the focus is on the
Minerals project workflow, where students will configure and
program material transport groups.
Duration
The duration is 5 days.
