Best IP PA solution for a cement plant where dust and heat make conventional cabling impractical?
Industry: factory | Architecture: IP
Cement plants present extreme operating conditions — heavy calcite dust, radiant heat from kilns, and large open yards. The BNA 9000-i125-HA server deployed in the air-conditioned control room handles all zone management over the plant's existing industrial LAN. BNA 9200 IP field call stations (IP65 FRP enclosures) are dust-sealed and can be wall-mounted near kiln entry gates and packing stations. BNA IP-H15-POE horn speakers project 15W audio across loud grinding and milling noise. The PoE architecture means each speaker needs only a single Ethernet cable — dramatically reducing installation cost and eliminating the need for separate conduit runs through dust-filled cable trays. GSM interface via BNA IP-GSM-G4 can also trigger remote announcements from plant managers off-site.
Technical Details
- Environment: cement plant with kiln area, packing, grinding zones
- Constraints: heavy dust, temperatures up to 60°C, no dedicated cable budget
- Requirement: robust communication across harsh outdoor and indoor zones
