Brief description of the model

• fully automated model of a production line
• covers all five layers of the distributed control system
• consists of six posts
• the production line model uses four types of technological interfaces: Ethernet, DeviceNet, FireWire, RS-232

Mechanical design

• L32E CompactLogix control system
• two three-axis manipulators driven by three-phase stepper motors in two axes; the third axis is pneumatic
• two small and two large conveyor belts driven by AC motors
• CLP 100 bar code scanner connected to a PLC through the RS-232 interface
• Marlin F-131C color camera connected to a PC through FireWire
• KEYENCE CZ-H35S optical color sensor with KEYENCE CZ-V21AP evaluating instrument
• a vibrating stack with a control unit
• warehouse is permanently installed with 28 positions
• View 600 color touch panel allows local visualization
• the line includes a number of pneumatic actuators, inductive, resistive and optical sensors

Description of the Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS)

• FMS consists of 6 positions shown in the figure and described below
• the FMS is required to assemble a color pattern out of 25 colored marbles according to a specific order
• camera system uses an image recognition application to check the accuracy of the produced pattern
• the information system collects and evaluates orders, determines the production plan, allows stack tracking and FMS analysis
• the operator is able to control and manage production with local and remote visualization


Description of posts

• post 1: three-axis manipulator assembles the desired pattern
• post 2: after camera inspection, the template is moved to the first conveyor
• post 3: template is selected in the formation and storage of stock
• post 4: template is moved from the first conveyor to the second one
• post 5: full or poorly made template is tilted back into the reservoir
• post 6: blocks from a vibrating stack are sorted by color in small containers
