 Three Conveyor System in Rockwell Software Studio 5000 



Here we are given with ‘N’ number of conveyor motors and are expected to generate a sequence that doesn’t jam or cause a delay in the raw materials or the by-products being transferred from the one part of the plant to the other plant.

With the ‘N’ number of conveyor motors being in line,  should automate for the Nth (last) motor to be switched on first because, for example, if  have three motors say A, B and C,  have to switch on C first because, if  switch on A before switching on B and C then the incoming coal would get accumulated at B as B will be switched on after some delay after switching on A.  

This would lead to accumulation of coal, delay and wastage of raw material as coal would reach the plant only after C conveyor is switched on that would be long after A is switched on and the accumulation of coal at the starting of B conveyor would lead to huge wastage of coal. In addition to this, to maintain the continuous supply of raw material to the plant and to simultaneously transfer the by-product from the plant to the respective areas, it necessary to maintain a proper sequence of conveyor automation to overcome delay and loss of material.

The below attached screenshot is the ladder logic of the conveyor sequence automation. Here I have used ‘ON DELAY TIMER’ to create a delay after switching on the first motor to give some time for the first conveyor to reach its end before switching on the subsequent ones.

Also, each conveyor motor has starting and stopping time delay provided.

  Simple Latch Circuit in Siemens TIA Portal V16 Step 1: Configuring the PLC Hardware in TIA Portal Open your project in TIA Portal and access the  Project View . Your configured PLC appears here. To add more hardware slots/modules, click the slot addition option in the project view and select your module. It will appear attached to your PLC overview. Enlarge the PLC view to 400% for better visibility of inputs, outputs, and the LAN interface.   Step 2: Setting IP Addresses for Network Communication Double-click the LAN interface in your PLC project to see its IP address. Check your computer’s Ethernet LAN card IP address via network settings. Example: PLC IP = 192.168.0.1; PC LAN card IP = 192.168.0.2 Ensure your PC IP address is either greater or lesser than the PLC’s to maintain proper networking basics. This setup enables communication between your PLC and PC over Eth...

Pick and Place Robot in Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation Project Files ( GitHub ) :  nachikethboin/Pick-and-Place-Robot-in-Siemens-Tecnomatix-Plant-Simulation     1. Building a Simple Pick and Place Robot Model Insert Basic Elements: Place a  Source  and a  Conveyor . Select both (plus connector), copy, and paste to duplicate (now you have two sources and conveyors). Add a  Pick and Place Robot , a  Station , another  Conveyor , and a  Drain . Connect the conveyors and station to the pick and place robot so the robot can transfer parts between them. Optimize Robot Workflow: Reduce the processing time of the station so the robot doesn’t have to wait and always has a free spot to place the part. Run the simulation to see the robot pick up parts from the conveyor and place them at the station. 2. Understanding the ...
