A large platinum mine in South Africa experienced a complete PROFIBUS network failure within one of its main Motor Control Centres (MCCs), and as a result Industrial Data Xchange (IDX) was contracted to conduct a site-wide network audit.
After creating post-audit reports illustrating recommended changes to address detected faults across various networks, IDX was further contracted to implement the recommendations resulting from the audit by re-segmenting the PROFIBUS DP networks within this MCC using multiple ProfiHub B5+R’s from the Anybus Diagnostics portfolio.
In this case study, IDX offered a turnkey solution, from initial diagnostics, hardware procurement, network segmentation, B5+R installations, pre-installation and post-installation network testing, and the drafting of high-level network diagrams to illustrate the updates and new topology.
