Beckhoff Solution Forum: Resource-saving packaging with PC-based control
5/7/2014
Beckhoff is presenting its open automation solutions for the packaging industry at Interpack, the world's leading trade show for the packaging industry and all related process technologies, which takes place in Düsseldorf, Germany, from 8 to 14 May 2014.
PC-based control and drive technology is ideally suited to the control and monitoring of the entire process chain of both individual packaging machines and complete packaging lines. At the same time it meets all the requirements for the high quality, flexible and, most important of all, resource-saving packaging production.
PC Control and integrated process communication with EtherCAT are the basis for extremely fast control and regulation technology. With their aid extremely precise process cycles can be achieved, so that firstly the packaging can be manufactured with less raw materials and secondly the specified quantities of the goods to be packed can be adhered to with greater accuracy. In sum this results in considerable cost savings and minimises the use of valuable resources and energy. All this can be seen at this year's Interpack in the 200 sq. metre Beckhoff Solution Forum, which is located in the open-air area in front of exhibition hall 15 (FG 15-1). Major topics are the XTS drive system, the new multi-touch panel generation and compact drive technology as well as increased engineering efficiency with TwinCAT 3, and packaging machines in Industry 4.0 production scenarios.
XTS revolutionises machine design
The increasing demand for flexibility in the packaging sector can be met very innovatively with the eXtended Transport System (XTS). Combining linear and rotary drive principles, it enables completely new machine concepts, which are considerably more flexible, more compact and less expensive than conventional solutions. Thanks to an almost arbitrary route configuration and the freely moving carrier modules - the so-called movers - mechanical components like grippers, for example, can be dispensed with. Product changes or changes of lot size or filling quantities can be quickly and easily implemented through software modifications. Thus, the number of format changes or costly production downtimes can be minimised. Since both the outward and inward paths as well as the curves are used for active material transport, there are also no empty trips.
Since the movers can be controlled both individually and synchronised, extremely varied and flexible movement functions are possible with the XTS. Innovative features such as catching up travel, grouping and ungrouping, synchronous travel, cam plate function, and the highly precise interaction between the XTS and a robot will be demonstrated in the Beckhoff Solution Forum. With these unique functions the drive system opens up numerous areas of application in the packaging industry, for example the filling of bags, the sorting of product flows, the feeding of asynchronous product flows into downstream cyclic production sequences as well as intelligent and dynamic workpiece resp. product carriers or the inline assembly of packaging.
Integrated multi-touch for the entire machine
With a scalable range of active and passive panels, the multi-touch panel series from Beckhoff provides for a uniform appearance on the machine. Display sizes from 7 to 24 inches as well as versions with different connections and processor powers offer maximum variety and flexibility. In addition there are customer-specific extensions available, e.g. fingerprint, emergency stop button or an individual colour scheme. Among the new products being shown by Beckhoff at Interpack are the CP3915 and CP3918 multi-touch Panels, which are optimised for packaging machines and feature a stainless steel housing, IP 65 protection and a specially laminated display as a splinter guard.
The use of multi-touch Control Panels from the CP29xx and CP39xx series is particularly flexible and simple with CP-Link 4, the one cable solution for the connection between operating unit and PC: video signal, USB 2.0 and power supply are transmitted over a distance of up to 100 m via a standard CAT.6A cable. The user benefits not only from increased flexibility, but also from reduced cabling and installation costs.
Servo system for minimal mounting spaces
To the AM8000 servo motor series flange size F1 (40 mm edge length) has been added. The new AM801x and AM811x servo motors in three overall lengths cover a torque range of 0.22 to 0.55 Nm and offer a low rotor moment of inertia as well as a quadruple overload capacity, therefore meeting the highest requirements for motion dynamics in the smallest of installation spaces. The motors are optionally available with backlash-free permanent magnet holding brake or feather key groove. Equipped with an absolute encoder (or optionally a multi-turn absolute encoder) and One Cable Technology (OCT), the motors offer maximum motor performance in a compact size.
The two series differ among other things in their rated voltage. An extremely compact and economical servo solution can be assembled by combining the AM811x motors with the EL7201-0010 and EL7211-0010 servomotor terminals with 2.8 ARMS and up to 4.5 ARMS respectively at 50 V DC. The AX5000 EtherCAT servo drive (1/2 canal, up to 3 A) can be used for controlling the AM801x servomotors, which are designed for 230 V AC.
TwinCAT 3 for efficient engineering and maximum performance
TwinCAT combines all control and motion functions as well as the complete engineering tool chain on one software platform. With IEC 61131, C/C++ and MATLAB®/Simulink® an appropriate programming language is available for every task. Engineering is simplified by ready-made libraries such as dancer control, cam plates, printing mark control and sheeter as well as support for OMAC PackML. The engineering efficiency is further increased with TwinCAT Automation Interface, a user-friendly interface for automatic code generation, as well as numerous source code control tools available via Visual Studio®.
With consistent multi-core support, TwinCAT 3 taps new power reserves for the integration of additional machine functions. Using the "CPU Isolation" feature, the project engineer can thus specify which cores of a processor will run with TwinCAT real-time and which will remain explicitly available only for the Windows operating system.
The packaging machine in the Industry 4.0 concept
The packaging machines market, with its constantly changing specifications for packaging design and form, is predestined for the implementation of Industry 4.0 concepts. The prerequisite for this, however, is machines in which all actuators and sensors are fully automated and above all enabled to communicate. With PC-based control and EtherCAT as well as matching drive technology, Beckhoff already enables universal vertical, horizontal and company-spanning integration today and thus offers the ideal platform for Industry 4.0 concepts in the packaging industry.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
