Project Background
• ArcelorMittal’s Burns Harbor operations routinely require up to approximately 100 megawatts of total facility power usage.
• Due to the cost of electrical power and the company’s limited generating capabilities it is vital to have immediate and uninterrupted knowledge of the total electrical load throughout the facility at any time.

Project Background
• ArcelorMittal needs to have the ability to transmit a signal containing information on the electrical loads at each individual plant to the Central Control Room located up to one mile away.
• The teams goal is to design a new solution for transmitting an electrical load signal from the Hot Mill to the Central Control Room to run in parallel with the outdated system.

Current System
The current systems transmits the load
signal using Frequency Modulation on a
1020Hz carrier using twisted pair
transmission line.

Design Specifications
• The design must be capable of transmitting the electrical load signal one-half mile
• The design must provide a 1 to 5V and 4 to 20mA analog signal at the control room PLC
![Page 7: Load Metering and Transmission - Michigan State University · · 2012-10-05Load Metering and Transmission Design Team 5 Cheng Zhang ... 20mA analog signal at the control room PLC](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042708/5adb71fa7f8b9add658decf4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Design Restrictions

Wireless
Basically use radio transmitter and receiver to transfer analog signal through different frequency band between two points without use of wires. • Example: Frequency Modulation Transmission (FM)
• Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Transmission (FHSS)
![Page 9: Load Metering and Transmission - Michigan State University · · 2012-10-05Load Metering and Transmission Design Team 5 Cheng Zhang ... 20mA analog signal at the control room PLC](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042708/5adb71fa7f8b9add658decf4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Wireless
• Advantages • No extra 1 mile cable necessary.
• Transmit signal in a long distance.
• Simplicity of Design • Actual products on the market.
• Disadvantages
• Less reliability • Easily affected by bad weather or interference.
• Less secure • Wireless signal can be easily captured by others.
• Expensive • Long range antenna will need large budget.

Ethernet I/O
• Converts the analog input signal to digital then transmits through the Internet cable in an extremely short time.
• Multiple inputs and outputs.
• Configurable for each channel.
• Peer to Peer technology
![Page 11: Load Metering and Transmission - Michigan State University · · 2012-10-05Load Metering and Transmission Design Team 5 Cheng Zhang ... 20mA analog signal at the control room PLC](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042708/5adb71fa7f8b9add658decf4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Ethernet I/O
![Page 12: Load Metering and Transmission - Michigan State University · · 2012-10-05Load Metering and Transmission Design Team 5 Cheng Zhang ... 20mA analog signal at the control room PLC](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042708/5adb71fa7f8b9add658decf4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• More reliable than wireless transmission • Can transmit signal through an Internet cable.
• A Digital signal is more stable than the analog signal.
• Simplicity of Design • Can use the existing internet cable from the mill.
• Concern • The existing cable maybe too old for to transmit the signal.
• Actual products are very expensive on the market.
Will be used as a secondary design
Ethernet I/O
![Page 13: Load Metering and Transmission - Michigan State University · · 2012-10-05Load Metering and Transmission Design Team 5 Cheng Zhang ... 20mA analog signal at the control room PLC](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042708/5adb71fa7f8b9add658decf4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Pulse Width Modulation Overview
• Modulation Basics- • Modulation Encodes a
lower frequency signal within a higher frequency signal
• The lower frequency is known as the modulating signal
• The higher frequency signal is known as the carrier signal
![Page 14: Load Metering and Transmission - Michigan State University · · 2012-10-05Load Metering and Transmission Design Team 5 Cheng Zhang ... 20mA analog signal at the control room PLC](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042708/5adb71fa7f8b9add658decf4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Pulse Width Modulation Overview • Pulse width modulation is a low cost, reliable solution
• Logic 0, if the modulating signals voltage > carrying signals voltage
• Logic 1, if the modulating signals voltage < carrying signals voltage
• PWM allows the information to be coded with 1 and 0’s, similar to digital transmission.

Signal Transmission • The transmitted signal is in the form of a pulse type wave • A square wave is theoretically made up of an infinite
number of sine waves at every frequency. • Once the signal is modulated it will be sent over a
transmission line, which acts as a low pass filter, and attenuates higher frequencies.
• The transmission line can cause unwanted distortion leading to attenuation
• In order to avoid attenuation, the team plans to use low frequency transmission to maintain signal integrity.
![Page 16: Load Metering and Transmission - Michigan State University · · 2012-10-05Load Metering and Transmission Design Team 5 Cheng Zhang ... 20mA analog signal at the control room PLC](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042708/5adb71fa7f8b9add658decf4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Signal Reception • At the destination the information is decoded
using a low pass filter. • A Low corner frequency filter will provide the
attenuation needed to get the original signal back.
• The power level signal from the mill will not change rapidly, therefore the input data will be reflected in the output data.

• Twisted Pair Cable • Two insulated wires arranged in a spiral pattern.
• The signal is transmitted through one wire and a ground reference is transmitted in the other wire.
• Limited in distance, bandwidth and data rate due to problems with attenuation, interference and noise.
– Limitations: “Cross talk” due to interference from other signals. Electromagnetic interference (EMI).
– Noise Compensation: “Shielding” wire (shielded twisted pair (STP)) with metallic braid or sheathing reduces EMI. “Twisting” reduces low-frequency interference and crosstalk.
