Sub-automatisation unit with c-line DRIVES
1 Introduction
The complete automatic process is clearly structured resp. is divided in
closed machine sub-automation units. Sub-automation units, allowing
unitizing of machine types and having a high reusability. Serial commis-
sioning can be made without special knowledge or PC, simply via SMART-
CARD - plug-in, load and run.
1.2 Typical machine
sub-automation
units
The already cleared machine sub-automation units can typically divided
in three groups:
I/O-oriented sub-automation unit
Motion solutions, processes are mainly defined by means of I/O-signals.
Typical applications are: advance unit for drilling or sinking, belt and car-
riage drives, drives for doors and gates as well as pump stations with float
switches.
Time-controlled sub-automation unit
Motion solutions, processes are mainly time-controlled. Typical applicati-
ons are: melting and mixing plants for paints and other materials, different
centrifuges as well as mills and shredder.
Controlled sub-automation unit
Motion solutions, for controlling process variables like torque, traction,
pressure, temperature or position. Typical applications are wobbler and
dancer control for winders, block-protection for shredder, simple posi-
tioning jobs for drives, rotating, as well as drives for doors and gates and
the classic pressure, temperature and flow control.
