The simple design of the station with three integrated stacking magazines and a conveyor offers the opportunity to learn the basic principles of belt control and the corresponding material transport. A computer with touch screen and a didactic MES (Manufacturing Execution System) provide the basic principles and software infrastructure for integrating additional MPS 400 system modules into a learning factory. Process The MPS 400 Distributing Pro system module distributes and conveys workpieces located in three stacking magazines. Each one has a doubleacting cylinder that pushes the workpieces out one at a time. In stand-alone mode without an MES connection, the respective magazine is selected via a button. The Conveyor module transports the workpiece to the right or left, where sensors determine the qualities of the workpiece. MPS 400 Distributing Pro Industrial HMI and smart sensors Learning factory kit > Single workpiece flow > MPS 400 Stations MPS 400 Distributing Pro 8129394 Essential components: MPS Station Distributing Pro with 3 stacking magazines and one universal belt Industrial touch panel (HMI) with additional controls IO Link sensors and IO Link gateway PC with 27 inch touch screen Factory Views with didactic MES (Manufacturing Execution System) and webshop Intuitive operation Control and monitoring of the system is performed using a large touch screen and a keyboard. The core of the software environment is an educational web-based MES system, which can be expanded by adding further applications. The ergonomic design of the learning system ensures efficient and fatigue-free working and learning. MES with online shop – System configuration – Product configuration – Order entry and management – Order tracking – Order data storage – Role-based information Flexible actuator technology The conveyor is equipped with a DC motor and a corresponding motor controller. AC motors can also be connected via a universal flange. IO Link sensors The monitoring of the stacking magazine fill level is performed using three different IO Link-based sensors. The students learn all about intelligent IO Link-based laser, ultrasound and capacitive sensors, recognize their advantages when compared with conventional sensors, and are then able to address, interpret, and service them and integrate them into production systems. Touch panel An industrial touch panel can be used to control parts of the station and to parameterize and monitor the three IO Link based sensors. The learning system teaches how to program touch panels with a structured display of all relevant information. This involves not only the visual preparation of live data from the system, but also ways of controlling and interacting with the system.
