The MINERALS AUTOMATION STANDARD is the process control system based on CEMAT that is tailored to the special requirements of the mining industry. It combines the functions developed over 35 years for automating cement plants with the automation functions typically required in mining.

Like CEMAT, the MINERALS AUTOMATION STANDARD also uses the modern SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system, with its open and flexibly scalable architecture, as its system platform. This means that it also benefits from the innovative Advanced Process Library (APL), which takes the experience gained by configuration engineers and plant operators over many years and transforms it into an excellent range of basic functions that have an attractive design and are extremely easy to use.

Building on this, the MINERALS AUTOMATION STANDARD optimizes both the operating philosophy as well as the diagnostics, signaling, and interlocking concept by using industry-specific software for the special tasks of the mining industry.

Note:

The latest MINERALS AUTOMATION STANDARD V8.2 is based on CEMAT V8.2. CEMAT V8.2 uses SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.2 as system platform. SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.2 is not supplied with CEMAT, but can be ordered separately (see Catalog ST PCS 7).
