Rolling Mills (RM)

Reference: Nooka Raju, Rolling Mills (TelCom Dept)

LMMM (Light and Medium Merchant Mills)
MMSM (Medium Merchant and Structural Mill)
WRM (Wire Rod Mills)
These are the main rolling Mills in the Plant
They take shutdown once in every week for general maintenance and make
necessary changes to suit the production (usually Friday)
Cameras:
There are mainly 2 types of cameras
1.Analog Cameras
2.Digital Cameras (IP Cameras)

Analog cameras are connected to Picture Monitors using co-axial cables. Camera is
supplied with 12volts DC and 220volts DC is provided to monitor.

Working of IP Camera:
Camera is connected to power socket and switch, in turn switch is connected to
server
We can access the picture using IP address of it, where intranet is available

In WRM-2, they use Analog Camera but it is connected to encoder, in turn it is

connected to media convertor which is ultimately connected to switch and then to
server.
Special Case:
Some Cameras are used to monitor the rolling process, near the furnaces
In order to protect those cameras, cool air is supplied using verti cooling, where
high pressure air is supplied through one end to get the cool air at the other end
and to protect the camera lens, a high density glass is placed before the camera
To avoid illumination during monitoring, welding glass is placed before camera.

Pulp pits: cabins inside the RM, which are useful to monitor and control the process

LSIC (Loud Speaker Inter Communication)

DMS (Desk Mounted Stations) and WMS (Wall Mounted Stations) are part of LSIC in
the rolling mills
These are 2 way communication but half duplex, unlike mobile phones, which are 2
way communication and fully duplex.
DMS and WMS are connected to exchange, they are provided with switches to send
info for specific location. We have to press it and talk.
