Abstract :
The modern industries need to produce the more diverse types of products and equipment in a constant way, effective and with quality, to supply the growing consumption demand of the global market by diverse goods. In that way, the industrial automation systems with fieldbus are more present in the industrial process of the liquid aluminum industry. The liquid aluminum is obtained by igneous electrolysis from alumina ore (Al2O3), that, is obtained from the bauxite ore (Al2O3, nH2O + impurities), being that objective of this article is to implement the fieldbus protocol inside the process of liquid aluminum obtention, taking into account the main utilized techniques and the utilization advantages of that methodology inside the process, highlighting the sensors, web protocols and the actuators utilized during the process steps
