Project: January 2003 – February 2003 (2 months)
Description
Development of an application program for Soft-PLC in C: The application consists of six (6) industrial sewing machines, whereby needle and gripper are not mechanically coupled but via two servo drives. The servos are controlled and monitored via a PLC that also handles thread monitors, material sensors and fault signals. The six PLCs are networked via CAN bus, one PLC serving as a master station. A display for operating the machine is connected to the master PLC via the CAN bus.
