We elaborated and inculcated control system for automated galvanic lines. System is based on modern solutions, because of that it is effective and reliable. The biggest achievement is flexibility which gives possibilities of easy change of configuration, extension, build up and communication with other control systems or factory network.
SControl system is projected according to norms and regulations with components of leading producers. Industrial communication network application for connection PLC with drives, I/O modules and rectifiers permits to reduce wiring and assures better diagnostics.
Position of galvanic conveyors is read by absolute encoders or optical distance measuring sensors, which carry weight on high precision of positioning, attain highest speed of transit and elimination of basing. Visualization of process is realized on color touchpad of operational panel or on PC.
Main software functions:
- Optimized path of manipulators movements for assure maximum usage of tanks. Galvanic transporters realize transferring bathes according to sequence, which come off process technology, priority and state of bath.
- Most of technology parameters (bath temperature, times for process tanks, dry times, showers delay, conveyors movement parameters, etc.) are changeable during automatic mode.
- Blockade of chosen process tanks is possible.
- Independent switching automatic mode of every conveyor during automatic mode of process.
- Conveyor control in manual mode with console with control elements.
- Optical and sound notification (alarms, line mode, conveyor movements).
- Visualization of process, which gives full review of line and conveyors state.
- Alarms system, which supervise proper work of all line elements, display reports and prevent negative results of failures.
- Control of peripheral devices (filters, mix pumps, showers, etc.).
- Measure and regulation of bath temperature (heating, cooling).
- Measure of current, amperehours counting, dosing pumps control.
- Static functions (drives work hours, bathes counters, etc.).
- Technological data base- recipes for every product, which contains all parameters (times of processes, currents, etc.).
- Setting rectifiers current on base of parameters, which are defines in recipe for given product.
- During loading of new bath, choosing of product recipe form data base and setting bath size (number of details or surface)- during production process time of bath and current setting are done automatic.
- Production reports, failures situations, temperatures, etc.
- Communication with other control systems and data exchange through the Ethernet.
