Fourth-range line programming
● Introduction
Project information
Automated system for processing and mixing fourth-range products, with dynamic weighing, machine vision, and integrated control using S7-300 PLCs and frequency inverters.
Programming and commissioning of a fourth-range food processing line composed of a cutting machine, washer, weighing conveyor, centrifuge, machine vision system, mixing system, and a product elevator feeding into the packaging machine.
The line is capable of automatically producing 3 product mixes through dynamic weighing. Mixing is performed based on the real-time dynamic weights of each component.
The system operates with 3 S7-300 PLCs communicating via MPI, 2 operator terminals, 3 dynamic weighing systems with SIWAREX, and all conveyors feature speed control via Schneider frequency inverters.
