Item Code DL 2110ITS-300 Technical Specifications VIRTUAL SYSTEM FOR PLC STUDY This system must be a didactic tool for the learning of PLC programming. This trainer must show five virtual industrial processes in order permit to the student to learn how to program a PLC. These processes must simulate real situations as sorting, batching, palletizing, pick & place and automatic storage; the aim must be to program the PLC in order to control all these virtual processes as real systems. The system must be composed of the above mentioned automation processes based on settings that represents industrial realities. This trainer must permit also the faults simulation for sensors and actuators in open or short-circuit. Thanks to this virtual system, it must be possible to interact with the system as it is a real system, add or remove products from the production line in every moment of the simulation, create faults and jamming of the system. Main features: SIMATIC S7-300 CPU 312C Additional module SM 323 18 digital inputs 14 digital outputs Power supply PS 307 24VDC/2A Micro Memory Card 64kByte USB PC-adapter for the connection PC/PLC 480 mm. guide STEP 7 Lite Simulation area with micro-switches and terminals The information shall be exchanged between the PLC and the virtual system through a data acquisition board provided with 32 I/O isolated channels and USB interface: 16 channels with inlet voltage logic0: 2V, Max Logic 1: 5V 50 Vdc max 16 canali outet voltage 5~40Vdc - sink current 200mA max / channel Based on the latest PC technology, this trainer shall make PLC training easy and fun. The result shall correspond to an immersive simulated environment that allows highly realistic training processes, without any risk of injury to man or damage to machines. The automation tasks shall be presented with increasing levels of difficulty, so that users can progress to more advanced exercises as they improve their skill. This trainer shall reproduce five training processes based on real world industrial scenarios. Each process shall offer standard problems found in PLC programming, presented in order of increasing level of difficulty. Quantity These training processes shall consist in: SORTING: transport cases from the entry bay to the elevators, sorting them by height BATCHING: mix three primary colors (red, green and blue) in order to obtain a desired color PALLETIZER: palletize cases up to three layers PICK & PLACE: place parts inside boxes through a three axes manipulator AUTOMATIC WAREHOUSE: transport, store and retrieve boxes from a rack The system shall be inserted in a didactic panel with a simulation area of 18 micro-switchers and 2 mm terminals for the digital inputs/outputs. The PLC must be supplied with applications in LADDER language for the control of the five simulation processes. The trainer must be supplied with manual in English language.
