摘要

通讯作者:Praneel Chand工程与工业设计中心，怀卡托理工学院，汉密尔顿，新西兰Email: praneelchand10@yahoo.co.nz摘要:随着时间的推移，使用可编程逻辑控制器(plc)的机械等工业设备变得过时和过时。对旧机器和控制器的支持变得有限，并且与新的计算机操作系统不兼容。最终，它们不再被工业使用。然而，过时的机器可以翻新并用于教学或示范目的。因此，本研究提出了用Allen-Bradley PLC取代旧的Festo PLC来改造Festo制造机器，使其与机电一体化实验室的小型工业网络兼容。该机器是Festo MPS存储和检索站，具有三轴机电龙门，夹持器，带编码器反馈的直流电机，簧片开关和气动执行器。跟踪从这些组件到旧PLC的I/O连接，并建立到Allen-Bradley PLC的新接口，同时保持与旧Festo PLC的连接，以进行遗留控制。这次升级使机器可以用于自动化课程的学生培训。如果需要的话，也可以选择使用旧的Festo PLC。开发了一个示例程序来测试和验证艾伦-布拉德利PLC和Festo存储和检索站的正确接口和操作。

Automating a Festo Manufacturing Machine with an Allen-Bradley PLC

Corresponding Author: Praneel Chand Centre for Engineering and Industrial Design, Waikato Institute of Technology, Hamilton, New Zealand Email: praneelchand10@yahoo.co.nz Abstract: Industry equipment such as machinery utilising Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) become outdated and obsolete over time. Support for older machines and controllers becomes limited and they become incompatible with new computer operating systems. In the end, they are no longer used by industry. However, obsolete machines can be refurbished and used for teaching or demonstration purposes. Hence, this study presents the reconditioning of a Festo manufacturing machine by replacing the old Festo PLC with an Allen-Bradley PLC so that it’s compatible with the miniindustrial network in the mechatronics lab. The machine is a Festo MPS storage and retrieval station featuring three axis electromechanical gantries, a gripper, DC motors with encoder feedback, reed switches and a pneumatic actuator. The I/O connections from these components to the old PLC is traced and a new interface to the Allen-Bradley PLC is established while keeping connectivity with the old Festo PLC for legacy control. This upgrade allows the machine to be used for student training in the automation courses. It also leaves an option for utilising the old Festo PLC if needed. A sample program has been developed to test and verify correct interfacing and operation of the Allen-Bradley PLC and Festo storage and retrieval station.
