micro unit 3.1:
turning applicaion
| In the production process of the CP Factory are many applications involved. One of these applications is the turning station which is responsible for bringing the finished products in the customer delivery state. The application is grabbing every produced piece and rotates the product 180 degrees. After this step has been performed the pallet with the finished product will be stored in the high rack for final the customer delivery. In this learning sequence the focus is placed on the application of the turning process. The circuit diagram, the sensors and actors, the process chain and the way of programming an application like this will be discussed in this session. |
Keywords: CIRCUIT DIAGRAM, I/O, PROCESS CHAIN, PLC PROGRAMMING
Learning output:
| I can … read and describe the circuit diagram of the turning application … identify the existing sensors and actors … sort and justify the process steps of the turning application … supplement and complete a existing PLC program for the turning process |
- First of all inform yourself about main structure of the cyber physical appliaktion – turning application.
2. Analyse the pneumatic circuit diagram of the application and try to explain the following question about the circuit diagram.
3. After we analysed the pneumatic circuit diagram we will have a look at the connection diagram of the PLC. Use the following link and find with the help of the datasheet the CP Lab Input and Output addresses for the I/O and fullfill them in the PLC circuit below. You can ignore the +GM in the reference tags for the following exercise.

4. Analyse the sequence chain of the application with following video link and have a closer look at the single worksteps and the advance conditions to get through the sequence.
Video sequence chain turning application
After watching the video you should be able to sort the right sequence chain for the turning operation with the usage of the following h5P content.
