Elcom uses a 19-in rack system for plug-in printed circuit boards. The system includes a special digital/analog bus that processes both analog and digital signals. The software for Elcom is divided into two categories: the system software and the application software. The system software processes the camera signals and organizes and directs the internal operation. The application software defines the function of the control system and is stored in a small plug-in circuit board containing an EPROM. Elcom 18 is capable of interactive communication. It can be connected via digital input and output boards or serial interface with keyboards and terminals, as well as other computer systems and PLCs. The data source for Elcom can be virtually any analog or digital signal. The source most frequently used is the CCD line scan camera.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":375511,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 1991 Forty-third Annual Conference Electrical Engineering Problems in the Rubber and Plastics Industries","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116156641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the application development standpoint, traditional motion control languages demand not only a complete understanding of the details of the application, but also a thorough knowledge of programming concepts before a solution can be implemented. A motion control concept utilizing a graphical user interface and icons to represent motion function is presented. This graphical motion control language allows free-form motion programming by simply connecting the icons to conceptualize the application in block diagram form. Motion and process details can be filled in later. Once the diagram is complete, it is converted into a text file in the native language of the particular motion controller to be used and downloaded for execution. An example implementation is presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":375511,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 1991 Forty-third Annual Conference Electrical Engineering Problems in the Rubber and Plastics Industries","volume":"2004 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125804933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Critical to this integrated product is a multitasking-based operating system and industry standard hardware platform. By virtue of this powerful machine and the use of its unique concepts, standard PLCs are no longer 'force fit' into applications requiring real time response. The flexibility of the system can be employed on practically any and all machines at control level 0 in a tire plant. Unique multitasking benefits are explored on three types of tire machines; an extruder, a tire builder, and a tire curing press.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":375511,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 1991 Forty-third Annual Conference Electrical Engineering Problems in the Rubber and Plastics Industries","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122934358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
