Andritz Feed & Biofuel – MCMS-C Manual
Preface
This manual describes the functionality of the MCMS-C system and provides thorough instructions about
set-up, operation and troubleshooting of the system.
This manual is created for the MCMS-C system alone.
General A-Scada functions are not described in this manual; they are described in the Design manual.
Furthermore, this manual assumes that the reader has general knowledge of pelleted feed production as
well as comprehensive knowledge about the machines of which this system will be controlling. The reader
is referred to the mechanical documentation of the relevant machines for any mechanical questions.
Introduction
The MCMS-C control is a system for controlling an entire pelleting line or a part of it.
It is a modular system, making it possible to construct a control for any Andritz Feed & Biofuel pellet feed
production machine.
The system may also be configured to control a range of third-party machines.
Due to the flexibility of the MCMS-C system, Customization and optimization must be carried out by an
authorized Andritz Feed & Biofuel technician.
System Description
The MCMS-C is based around an Allen-Bradley CompactLogix PLC, which handles all electrical signals to
and from the machines. The PLC communicates with a computer running the A-Scada system.
A-Scada allows the operator to monitor, manage the process, and also saves production data for retrieval
at any time.
Computer and PLC is connected via an Ethernet connection.
The A-Scada system is network-based and it is possible to connect more than one client to the same
Server. Client and server do not have to be installed on the same PC, as long as they are connected via
the same network. This means that there can be several operating stations for controlling the machinery.
Please see the Design manual for more information about the A-Scada system.

Graphic Overview
The graphic overview is found in the Overview tab. It shows the entire installation with all components.
Motors, switches etc. change color to show which state they are in. Motors are brown when stopped,
green when running, and blinking red to indicate an error state.
Switches are green when they are OK, i.e. in a state that does not prevent operation. A red switch means
that it is in a state that prevents operation, and blinking signifies that the switch has triggered an alarm.
There may be fields for adjusting Recipe parameters or fields that display current values.

Start – Stop Icons
The Graphic overview also contains the buttons for starting and stopping the coating
equipment.
The control starts each part of the machine in preprogrammed steps that makes sure
the machines start in the correct order.
During steps, the clicked button will blink green. When a sequence is finished/ready
the button will be constantly green.
Empty
Empty will discharge the pre-bin and post-bin.
This is the diagnostic popup for motors and indicates all the important States of the
Motor. It can influence all the input signals of the motor for maintenance, service
and start-up.

A controller can be forced (In the Plc). For each force there can be a different output value. In this mode
the controller is switched off. And the force value is directly given to the output.
In the parameter popup of the controller you can set the PID parameter:

Recipe
The recipe handler makes it possible to create standard recipes for each type of product.
(See the Design Manual for further information)
The values put in the recipe are the parameters to lead the machine to producing the optimal product.
They will be the indicators for a smooth automatic startup where the requested temperature and capacity
will be reached the best possible way.
The system has programmed PID control loops to automatically raise and adjust the process values to the
requested set points.
Parameter Explanation
Start set point for the Infeeder motor, if level is equal as level set point. The Infeeder motor speed is calculated
Infeeder Target speed:
as (infeeder target speed + ( deviation in prebin level from setpoint x some parameters configuration)
Calibration Factor Factor for calculation the capacity of the infeeder according to the load on the scale and measured pellet speed
The percentage of additive 1 addition to the product. The calculated product flow is measured and calculated by
Additive 1 addition:
measuring the speed of the product flow, the weight and a calibration factor.
The percentage of additive 2 additions to the product. The calculated product flow is measured and calculated by
Additive 2 addition: measuring the speed of the product flow, the weight and a calibration factor.
The percentage of additive 3addition to the product. The calculated product flow is measured and calculated by

Trend
The MCMS has trend curves for a large number of variables, and more are added constantly. The trend curve is accessed clicking
Trend in the lower tab.
Please see the A-Scada manual for more information on using the trend window.
The variables shown as trends depend on the specific machines installed, and may be adjusted by an Andritz Feed & Biofuel
technician, but this table demonstrates the most common ones. Your specific installation may differ from this description.
On each trend bar you have a scale and 2 arrows. The bars fill color indicates the input value of the variable, the small arrow
indicates the Set Point of the variable and the big arrow indicates the output value.
Parameter Explanation
Pre-bin level The actual level in the pre-bin
Additive 1 The capacity of the additive added, 0 – xxx kg/h (customer specific)

Configuration
The MCMS-C has adjustable parameters for each part of the machinery. They are usually adjusted by the Andritz Feed & Biofuel technician during
commissioning.
In some cases it is needed to change these parameters later on and for that a special administrator login is needed.
The login will be given to a chief operator or similar.
The configuration parameters can be found in the MFS – Configuration tab.
