Dual Conveyor PLC Workcell

Dual Conveyor PLC Workcell

The Dual Conveyor Workcell combines a parts selection task with an assembly process. This then enables in depth study of PLC's being used in process control systems. Students are required to consider in more detail the structure of control systems.

More complex control scenarios can be developed using combinations of timers and counters with master and zone control functions. The unit is fully self-contained comprising a power supply, interface unit and a range of sensors and solenoid actuators.

The interface circuits allow the conveyor system to be operated from any standard industrial PLC system using 24V dc logic levels. There is space within the interface board to drive additional detectors.
