AE-PLC-FT Filtration Workstation

The "AE-PLC-FT" is a filtration system commanded by a PLC. The "AE-PLC-FT" is composed of two tanks with a filter between them. The liquids are pumped from the first tank into the second tank through the filter using a pump and different types of valves. The system is equipped with pressure and level sensors in order to ensure a high quality of the filtration process.

The "AE-PLC-FT" workstation has been designed as a modular system to facilitate the understanding of the equipment operation:

• The PLC: is composed of an AE-PLCB that contains a HMI device, analog and digital input/output modules, etc, and the required extra modules to put into operation the workstation successfully.
• The control panel: emergency stop push button switch, start/stop button, reset button, light indicator to show the state of the workstation, etc.
• The pneumatic circuit: contains the required solenoid valves, filters and regulators to assure the correct working and safety of the unit.
• The workstation: is composed of real components used by the industrial automatic conveyor systems such as: capacitive sensors, limit switch sensors, position sensor, etc.

The "AE-PLC-FT" workstation can work alone and/or in conjunction with other workstations to make up a complete Flexible Manufacturing system*.
