24-month Festo Didactic warranty → www.festo-didactic.com 60 61 Modular hardware An MPS 400 system building block is an MPS station built on a trolley containing all elements for seamless integration into a learning factory, which might consist of several system building blocks. Each system module represents a process step that is modelled on real-world production. The trolley is equipped with a control panel that contains buttons for basic controls and signals the status of the station by means of three lights. An emergency stop button stops all actuators within the system module. Some of the input and output signals as well as 24 V and GND can be tapped at 4mm safety lab sockets on the left and right of the control panel. Industry 4.0 right from the start The system building blocks are equipped with an Ethernet switch and PLC. The PLC program connects the system module with the MES and the entire plant. An RFID read/write device is connected to the PLC via an RFID controller. This can read and write the digital product memory in RFID tags of individual workpieces. Vertical integration The required production steps (with individual parameters if needed) can be transferred individually for each workpiece from the MES to the PLC of the system building block. This teaches the learner concepts such as variant diversity in production up to batch size 1. The MPS 400 Measuring Pro system building block measures height and fill level as well as the weight of the workpieces. Defective parts are ejected on a chute. Industrial measurement technology and analogue value processing The MPS 400 Distribution Pro system building block pushes workpieces from three stacking magazines individually onto the conveyor belt using double-acting cylinders.
