General Description

The Mixing Workstation, "AE-PLC-MS", designed by EDIBON, is a workstation commanded by a PLC. The "AE-PLC-MS" is composed of three tanks with different liquids. These liquids are pumped and mixed in a reactor vessel using a pump and different valves. The system is equipped with flow and level sensors in order to obtain a precise mixing.

The "AE-PLC-MS" workstation has been designed as a modular system to facilitate the understanding of the unit operation.

The main components are:

The PLC: is composed by the CPU limit and all extra modules needed to perform a corrent working of the workstation and all the extra modules needed to perform a correct working of the workstation.
The Control Panel: with start/stop button, emergency pushbutton, reset button, light indicators to show current state of the process, etc.
The Pneumatic Circuit: contains the required solenoid valves, the pressure components, the filters and regulators to assure the appropriate working of the workstation.
The Workstation: it is composed by real industrial components used by the rotary table systems such as reed sensors, presence sensors, DC motor, inductive sensors, rotary table with 8 positions, etc.

The "AE-PLC-MS" is an independent workstation that can work alone and/or in conjunction with other workstation to make up a complete Flexible Manufacturing System (*).

*The Flexible manufacturing systems product list is available at the "6.- MECHATRONICS and AUTOMATION" area.
