Cavanna, the United States, is a packaging machine manufacturer serving packaging consumer goods. President Bill Stoebling believes that PC control is the future direction of packaging machines. “In the past, I always used the PLC system on the company's machines and only used PCs to process data. Feeling puzzled, I learned later that the original PC (using Windows NT or Windows 95 operating system) can greatly simplify all these things."
Making work easier is just one of the reasons. With the continuous improvement of PC processing speed and the continuous increase of memory capacity, the PC-based control system can speed up the setting and replacement time of the machine, track the performance of the machine, and issue an alarm or make corrections and fine-tune when the machine deviates from the normal working state. Maintenance plan to assist in resolving faults, even to call maintenance personnel or issue some orders. The PC-based control system can be used not only to control a single machine, but also to control an entire production line.
Amway uses PC-based HMI software developed by Wonderware to help operate a personal care product filling line. As a consumer product company, Amway welcomes the same price as traditional PLCs featuring hard-wired control panels. , But more powerful man-machine interface / open control. Although the actual demand is difficult to determine, at the recent packaging exhibition, it can be seen that the PC-based HMI controller outnumbers any other kind of controller.
Minimize losses
The need to increase productivity, improve product quality, and reduce production costs has boosted the demand for PC-based HMI controllers, but another important factor that cannot be overlooked is how to reduce machine replacement time and downtime.
Pneumatic Scale uses Xycom Automation's computers on the liquid net filler, which uses an enhanced, company-developed software control package that can perform all the functions of a PC-based HMI/control package. The software finally realizes the monitoring of the performance and status of each filling head and makes adjustments as needed; the software also records the product and the packaging as a whole for later recall and editing. For unqualified parameters, the programming can be reprogrammed so that the filling head will automatically become invalid when it reaches the preset unqualified limit. In addition, you can browse and compose reports and print real-time and historical changes. The system can also collect production data, and some of these collected production data can be modified to improve processing. These functions are very valuable for those pharmaceutical manufacturers who want to keep detailed production records.
This PC-based control system provided by Rockwell Automation, Steelechase Software, Wonderware, and many other large suppliers of control systems and equipment, in addition to providing connectivity for many machine-based devices such as PLCs and dials In addition, database software and enterprise information systems can also be connected.
What are the characteristics
The main features of a PC-based control system include a user-friendly graphical user interface (used to display flowcharts, charts, and icons that workers use for quick navigation) and pre-configured code that does not require programming. Customize the interface. These tools make it simpler to standardize the control hardware (provided by the above vendors) and add fault alarm screens.
PC-based control systems can also be easily adapted to operating manuals and work aids. System integrator Metsys Engineering developed an HMI resident system that uses Wonderware software to troubleshoot failures and provide instructions for clearing cookies.
Cavanna added mechanical manuals to his HMI and pictures related to all machine adjustments, so the operator could clearly understand how to reset the dial, and the software then verified that the adjustments made were correct. In addition, these PC-based systems can also perform troubleshooting, find replacement parts in the relevant electronic catalog, and use internal modems to issue commands.
Rockwell Automation RSView32 HMI software has an add-on module that improves the distribution of control-related information. Using the alarm and tag database already in the program, RSView32 Messenger can send out alerts, provide updates, and send reports. With the sound card, notices can be issued and the notices can be disseminated using emails, pagers, faxes or telephones. By setting up the system to contact a specific person in the work plan, when the system does not receive a confirmation, the notification will be reissued.
