Release time:

2022-11-29

The case originated from an automation equipment company in Nanjing. The main operating item is auto parts production equipment. The auto parts production line has several characteristics as follows: there are many parts styles. Production equipment from stand-alone to assembly line, the controller will be in accordance with the process method is different, there will be a variety of models to use, resulting in increased equipment management costs, and the use of equipment efficiency is not good. The smaller the size of the electrical components, the more flexible the design and wiring of the electrical control panel. The process of each station of the assembly line is in sequence. When one of the stations is abnormal, the whole production process will be interrupted, so the abnormal detection and elimination time of the equipment is required.

Case Introduction

The case originated from an automation equipment company in Nanjing, whose main operating items are auto parts production equipment, because the auto parts production line has several characteristics as follows:

Multiple part styles.Production equipment from stand-alone to assembly line, the controller will be in accordance with the process method is different, there will be a variety of models with the use of, resulting in increased equipment management costs, and the use of equipment efficiency is not good;
Electric control panel in stand-alone equipmentSpace is limited.The smaller the size of the electrical components, the more flexible the design and wiring of the electrical control panel;
The process of each station of the assembly line is in sequence. When one of the stations is abnormal, the whole production process will be interrupted, so the abnormal detection and elimination of equipmentHigh time requirement.

Site Environment

In this case, the production machine is shown in the figure. Metal parts will be processed on a single machine. After processing, they will be transported to multiple work stations via conveyor belts. When the processing procedures are completed, assembly and testing will be carried out to complete the production and transportation of parts.

Product Import

In this case, the customer uses Siemens 1200 PLC with I/O-PARAGON to control the machine. The configuration architecture is shown in the figure.

Project Highlights

After I/O-PARAGON is imported into the production machine,Solve the problem of insufficient space in the customer's switchboard;

The size of the I/O module is only 12mm thin, which greatly saves the space in the disk. It adopts Profinet communication protocol and can be used with PLC of various brands, making the I/O module highly shared and easy to manage,Significantly reduce hardware costs by 40% and save control cabinet space by 50%.

in addition,When an exception occurs, the I/O-PARAGON warning light immediately lights up and returns the exception code to inform the upper computer., Troubleshoot quickly without worrying about production interruptions.
