Solved a complex logical problem
of controlling an automated handling conveyor
- One loading conveyor system
- Two stations with servo-driven loading units
- Three product types
- 64 motors spread along the conveying system
- 193 states used to describe loading logic
Equipment used for the job:
- Siemens Simatic TIA portal v13
- Festo servo units
- Simatic 12'' Comprehensive Panels
The customer was looking for an expert to solve a complex handling problem of a conveyor serving two washing stations with multiple setup options.
The possibility to load two stations and a number of different products brings the complexity into the equation.
This was successfully solved using More machine realised with the graphical programming language in Simatic TIA portal. The functionality of each loading station was described using 193 states.
Using graphical programming method at this level of complexity allows faster testing and troubleshooting during commissioning and maintenance.
A bespoke machine manufacturer produced this equipment for their automotive customer.
