Metso is the first to introduce embedded machine condition and runnability monitoring within process controls. Also on offer are new control applications, such as winder controls, power plant turbine controls and machine condition monitoring.

Scalable Metso DNA automation systems adapt to diverse mining and construction industry needs, from single-machine controls to plant-wide automation and information management systems.

One product, a new crushing plant control room solution, connects crushers and screens, ensuring the effective management of the entire plant from a pleasant and safe control room. Automatic controls stabilize the process and allow the operators to monitor the plant as a whole.

Machine condition monitoring has been developed for the condition monitoring of rotating machines such as flue gas fans, feed water pumps and turbines.

With this system, says Jaakko Oksanen, product manager Metso, the user receives process data in real time and retrospectively from the same user interface. “The user can easily access all the data collected during his/ her absence, for example, over the weekend.”

Metso DNA is a single automation system for all functions – process, machine, drive and quality controls. It also covers information management, and mechanical and field device condition monitoring. Metso DNA is scalable from a single stand-alone controller to mill and plant-wide systems in global organizations. Post-1988 systems are easily upgraded.
