Rourkela Steel PlantRourkela steel plant was the torch bearer for Public Sector
Steel Industry in India and carried the banner of the industrial
revolution for the nascent Republic of India. The Steel Plant,now a unit of the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), was astarted during the mid-fifties of the 20th century in
collaboration with the leading steel makers from the FederalRepublic of Germany.
The plant was modernised in the mid-1990s with a number of new units
having state -of-the-art facilities. Most of the old units were also revamped for
effecting substantial improvement in the quality of products, reducing cost and
ensuring cleaner environment.
RSP was the first plant in India to incorporate LD technology(An oxygen steel
making process named after the towns in Austria, Linz and Donawitz, where itwas first developed. It is a modified Bessemer process). It is also the first steel
plant in SAIL and the only one presently where 100% of slabs are produced
through the cost-effective and quality-centeric continuous casting route.
RSP presently has the capacity to produce 2 million tonnes of hot metal, 1.9
million tonnes of crude steel and 1.67 million tonnes of saleable steel. It is
SAILs only plant that produce silicon steels for the power sector, high quality
pipes for the oil & gas sector and tin plates for the packaging industry. Its wide
and sophisticated product range includes various flat, tubular and coatedproducts.

UNDERGOING MODERNISATION
Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) is one of the flagship steel plants
of the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), located in theIndian state of Orissa. It currently has the capacity to produce
1.9 MT of steel p.a. but plans to modernise and more than
double its capacity to 4.2 MT. The plans involve modifyingthe existing units as well as building new ones. To that
purpose SAIL obtained new loans worth more than Rs. 75
billion in the period 2008-09.
The modernisation and expansion of the plant will enablesome technological changes ,which the company claims will
reduce the CO2 emissions per tonne of crude steel production.

TRAINING COMMENCEMENT
Before the actual beginning of the training all the trainees were requested to
collect their security passes for entering the plant at the HUMAN RESOURCE
DEVELOPMENT dept. of the ROURKELA STEEL PLANT and were
instructed to report sharply at 9 am at the plants auditorium the next
morning.
The next morning i was witness to an overwhelming crowd of future engineers
who were there like me to gain the valuable practical experience the industry
was going to provide and we were all excited. After been seated we had to wait
for sometime for the managers who were incharge of our training to come andinstruct us.
They started with a brief introduction of the plant with a presentation
consisting of videos and slides and also made us aware of the product the plant
manufactures and about its modernization plans. Much stress was given to
safety as industrial plants are prone to accidents . We were directed to wear
safety helmets and shoes all the time and to refrain from wearing loose clothes
as they may get sucked by the machines.
After the presentation the trainees were divided into different groups
depending on the departments they were assigned to on the basis of their
respective engineering field. I was in the group which would undergo training
at the COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING DEPT of the plant . From there
we were guided to the head office of the COMM DEPT called TELECOM
BHAVAN. There the training incharge again subdivided us into a group of five
member each and handed the schedule to us .
An overview of the various communication equipments used in plants for itsefficient running were given to us and also some basic concept of
communication like the type of modulation , multiplexing ,switching were
discussed.

VHF RADIO COMMUNICATION
VHF (Very high frequency) is the radio frequency range from 30 MHz to 300
MHz. VHF propagation characteristics are ideal for short-distance terrestrial
communication, with a range generally somewhat farther than line-of-sight from
the transmitter . Unlike high frequencies (HF), the ionosphere does not usually
reflect VHF radio and thus transmissions are restricted to the local area (and
don't interfere with transmissions thousands of kilometres away). VHF is also
less affected by atmospheric noise and interference from electrical equipment
than lower frequencies. Whilst it is more easily blocked by land features than
HF and lower frequencies, it is less affected by buildings and other less
substantial objects than UHF frequencies. Hence its the best medium of
communication for the plant.
The VHF devices used by the plant were PTT and BASE
COMMUNICATION
PUSH TO TALK(WALKY TALKY)
The plant is currently using two models of PTT
MOTOROLA GP338---- With 128 channels
MOTOROLA GP328---- With 16 channel
These PTTs are easily programmable . To use this device the plant has to pay a
yearly subscription fee to the Government of India. There range around 3-4
Km. Gp338 is an advanced model and has lot more no of channel and features
than Gp328
GP33
GP32

As we can see from the pictures GP338 is very user friendly as it has a display
and we can also name the channel so no need to remember the channel no.
PROGRAMMINGThe programming of devices is accomplished by the software
PROFFESIONAL RADIO CPS (customer programming software) which is
provided by the company MOTOROLA itself.
Channels can be assigned to different frequencies.
Devices can also be cloned.

MODESCSQ or Carrier Squelch is communications with no codes. Codes help filterout unwanted transmissions. Its open to all.
TPL or Tone Private Line modulates at a low frequency.
DPL or Digital Private Line modulates a series of binary codes.
Both users must be on the same TPL or DPL to communicate.
The term Private does not mean unheard. Anyone that can monitor or that has
CSQ can hear your transmission, if they are on the same frequency.
The biggest advantage of DPL over TPL is that there are more different choices
of codes with DPL. In addition, each code can be used either "normal" or
"inverted." Also...it is considered to be more difficult to scan for DPL codes
than TPL, although with some of the newer available receivers, this isn't
necessarily still true. Advantage of TPL is that DPL takes too long to decode--a
significant fraction of a second so wait for the path to be established before
trying to talk.

BASE STATIONThe base station is one end of a communications link. The other end is a
movable vehicle-mounted radio or walkie-talkie. Base stations can either be in
the form of stationary base stations or they can be mounted on moving vehicle
for maximum flexibility and reach.
Key Advantages
1.One-to-one and one-to-many communication
2.Base-station type two-way radio solutions for ground stations or vehicle-
mounted, which can also be integrated with handheld-type solutions formaximum mobility and flexibility
3.Low cost
4.Simple operation like a walky-talky
It can have upto 255 channels. It requires a 12 volts power supply.
Its range is around 100 to 200 km so it requires an antenna far above the ground
To increase its range further repeaters can be used.It can also be connected with
telephone device. The mouthpiece of the device is the programmable port

EX COMM
Short for executive communication system is used mainly to set up conference
call. In the plant there are two cabinets in the exchange having power unit ,
ringer cards ,line cards ,junction cards and other control card. Whenever
subscriber lifts his handset battery and audio beeps are heard in board along
with visual identification so that operator process the particular key and get
connected to the subscriber
If operator wants to connect to the subscriber he has to press the key from the
operator side . Then the subscriber gets a ring and there is visual on board.
ITI DESPACHERIt is a electromechanical system with manually operated board .
One operator gives the connection to the subscribers .
There is no privacy.
There are 20 to 50 lines for it in the exchange.

TELEPHONE EXCHANGE
The plant maintained two exchanges for hassle free communication between
its employees present within the plant and also those in the town. The one in the
plant provided the intercom and public address services along with the
connection with the town exchange with the help of junction cable. The
township exchange was present in the town and from there the lines were
distributed throughout the town .

The power supply is 3 phase , emergency supply also available but variation is
high . a step down transformer is used to step down the voltage required to
acceptable level
The battery room provides a back up in case of power failure . supply voltage
is 48v . There are two sets of battery sets in the exchange one is connected and
second charging
The technology used here in the exchange is pulse code modulation and time
division modulation . Prior to this the technology used was C.bot
Cards used in exchange are TONE SENDING card and TIME SWITCH card
The tone sending card is responsible for the dial tone
A card can hold upto 8 numbers of users. When a person calls, the light for that
no on the card flashes in the exchange.
The distribution unit consists of many relays and wires mounted on a rack
which is grounded to make it lightening proof. From here the wires are sent to
the users to their home. When person wants to have his no changed this is done
by relocating the wires here.

CARDS
1 ) OPERATOR CARD: -Interfaces analog subscriber line terminations with the
digital switch (Capacity: 8 terminations/card).
2 ) TRUNK CARD (JUNCTION): -Functionally identical to OPERATOR
CAR, but interfaces with analog trunk lines.
3 ) ANNOUNCEMENT CARD (ANNC): -Announcement and tones are stored
as DIGITAL PCM samples in this card. Like subscribers, announcement and
ones also are allotted PORTS and connected to PCM 32 channel link. This
card performs self-diagnostic and reports the result to the procedure cards
through the Error Signal.
4 ) PROCEDURE CARD: -Digital switch, which connects two subscribers by
theway of TIME-SLOT INTERCHANGE. It controls the time multiplexing/
demultiplexing functions for the PCM coded voice samples from/to the
termination cards.
5 ) SIGNAL CARDS: -Receives/sends signal information (ON-HOOK, OFF-
HOOK, dial pulses etc.) from/to terminal cards in a multiplexed fashion and is
made available to the procedure card through a standard Rockwell 6502-businterface.
6 ) CONFERENCE CARD (CNF): -Caters for 3 party conferencing (operator,
trunk and supervisor).
7 ) POWER SUPPLY CARD/UNIT (PSU): -Energy source for all the cards.
Input is 48V D.C. from outside and generates +12V, +5V, -12V, and 3-phase
75V r.m.s. (25HZ) In the cadence of 0.4 Secs. ON, 0.2 Secs. OFF, 0.4 Secs. ON
and 2 Secs off.

THE SYSTEM CABINET
The system cabinet consists of a card cage, mdf frame, and the power
distributor. The system cabinet is made of steel and is chemically treated to give
it a non-corrosive finish. Adequate ventilation has been provided on all sides.The system has two covers that are hinged to facilitate maintenance. These are
normally screwed on by means of ALLENtype bolts to fasten then securely.
The card cage houses the switching network, comprising various functional
cards or modules. Removing the bolts for the front over can access these.
Removing the bolts for the top cover may access the MDF and power fuses. The
card cage consists of card guides /rails in which all the system cards are
inserted. A motherboard is mounted on the rear of the card cage. All the cards
are connector zed and placed in a card frame and the card connectors terminatein a back plane PCB (the MOTHER BOARD) that runs throughout the length of
the back of the frame. Inter card connections are through this back plane. All
the important cards e.g.PSU, PROCESSOR, SIGNAL and ANNC are
duplicated in 128-port system, to make the switch fault tolerant. Polarization of
controller cards has been provided to avoid damage or misuse of the cards by
unauthorized / untrained personnel.

C bot
This technology was used in the exchange prior to use of automatic
exchange cards.
It is a digital, stored, program-controlled switching system with 256
terminations or ports. It employs a non-blocking 4-wire PCM switching
network.
It is ideal for rural applications since it provides immediate basic
telephone connection with minimum infrastructure. It is easy to install
and possesses a fault-tolerant system with inbuilt redundancy. Besides
requiring no air-conditioning, it withstands dust, wide temperature
fluctuations (-5 to 50 C), humidity and salinity. Moreover, it consumes
very little power, sustaining itself despite frequent power failures due to
low battery drain. A distinguishing feature of the C-DOT 256P RAX is itssimple and flexible connectivity through a satellite wide range of
transmission systems such as UHF, VHF, radio and satellite. Because it is
program-controlled, it can be easily integrated as per the network
requirement through man-machine commands. Thus, proving to be an
extremely cost-effective and viable proposition.

8/7/2019 reportrourkela
23/26
The machine has two parts electrical and mechanical
Ac 3phase supply induction Base ,Gear ,Gear clamp, DeclampMotor , limit switch ,safety and rods
switch ,connection terminalblock
Working
When operator operates from control room ,the induction motor gets supply
through different relays .It operates in one direction and is stopped by limit
switch .When machine works perfectly the operator gets steady indication light
on the Control board and the train moves. If any trouble i.e. the operator getsa flashing light and a person is immediately send to get it repaired.
Basically here the rotary motion of the motor is transmitted through reduction
gears and transmission assembly and converted into a linear movement of a
toothed rack through a pinion. The gear rack drives the switch rails to
the required position.
If there remains a gap between the tongue rail and the fixed rail then there is a
fault with the machine.
The safety switch when turned on cuts off supply in the 2 out of three phases of
motors supply.

Control roomIt has the conrol board to control the changing of the tracks . The operator
observes the board which contains many lines and indication lights. Tracks are
selected by pressing the buttons on the to be selected lines. The light indicator
shows the lines status whether active or not and if it flashes there is some errorin the line. Each indicator light requires 24 V .
Relay room
Relay room consist of complex circuitry
made up of relays in an arrangement of relay
logic that ascertain the state or position of
each signal appliance. As appliances are
operated, their change of position opens some
circuits that lock out other appliances that
would conflict with the new position.
Similarly, other circuits are closed when the
appliances they control become safe to
operate. In plant the relays are supplied bySiemens. Each box has three relays and is
given a 3 phase supply.

ADVANCED SIGNALLING(USED BY
RAILWAYS)
It is called RRI (Route relay Interlocking) .
The main advantage of this is that it can tell the position
of trains and Automatic Route setting facility is
available,
which means that with single command, points in the
Route, Overlap and Isolation can be operated to the
required condition. While with the one in plant Points have to be operated
individually for setting the Route.

OVER ALL EXPERIENCE
The knowledge and experience gained in the plant
was valuable in every sense and it really helpedme to understand how engineers apply their skills
of knowledge and management in the practical
world. The interaction with the trainers was very
fruitful as we discussed new technologies and
prospect. I was really amazed by the enthusiasm
they showed in educating us and that made theinteraction a whole lot easier. In due course of
time I was able to befriend
my fellow group members and the environment
seemed more familiar
I hope that this experience that I had gained willhelp me in my future prospects as I believe that I
have given my full sincere attention to it
