Brief description of the model

fully automated model of a production line
covers all five layers of the distributed control system
consists of five posts
the production line model uses five types of technological interfaces: Ethernet, DeviceNet, FireWire, AS-i, ProfiBus

L32E CompactLogix control system
three-axis manipulator driven by three-phase stepper motors in two axes; the third axis is pneumatic
one small and two large conveyor belts driven by three-phase motors
the line is integrated with an industrial robot Mitsubishi RV-2SDB
gray scale camera Guppy F-503-B, connected to a PC through FireWire
KEYENCE CZ-H35S optical color sensor with KEYENCE CZ-V21AP evaluating instrument
warehouse is permanently installed with 24 positions
View 600 color touch panel allows local visualization
the line includes a number of pneumatic actuators, inductive, resistive and optical sensors

FAC consists of 5 positions shown in the figure and described below
the FAC is required to assemble a product out of 4 different parts (base, bearing, shaft, cap) according to a specific order
camera system uses an image recognition application to determine the position of the base on the small conveyor belt
the information system collects and evaluates orders, determines the production plan, allows stack tracking and FAC analysis
the operator is able to control and manage production through local and remote visualization

Conveyor: moves pallets between posts
post 1: the base, which is randomly ejected onto the post, has its position detected by the camera and the coordinates are sent to the PLC
post 2: Mitsubishi robot reads the position of the base from the PLC, picks it up from the belt and puts it on the pallette
post 3: rotary manipulator inserts the bearing from the tray into the base
post 4: rotary manipulators insert the rotating shaft and next the cap inside the bearing, the latter are transported from the stack by turntable
post 5: three-axis manipulator stores the finished product in the warehouse
