Pro-face application of HMI in slicing machine

1 the introduction

In slicing machine PLC slicing machine application Pro-face control slicing machine application Pro-face system, the use of Pro - face instead of traditional the button in the interface, switch and lamp; But also the bidirectional data exchange with PLC, accept the user's working parameters setting, at the same time the operation of the monitoring system and display real-time information of equipment operating status.

Choose Pro - face series AST - 3401 touch screen, 7.5 inches, 256, according to the color image with mitsubishi Q02PLC through RS232 communication, its image editing software GP - Pro EX function fully, greatly accelerated the development cycle of the equipment.

2 process

Slice in the LTCC (Low temperature co-firing ceramic Low temperature co - fired ceramic) multilayer substrate belongs to the first working procedure in manufacturing process, is the stretch film, will be cut into required size raw porcelain coil raw ceramics process

3 interface design

Sliced through the interface design, make the equipment to realize the function of human-computer interaction, mainly for parameter setting, slice of manual/automatic operation, condition monitoring, equipment maintenance and alarm information display, etc.

3.1 operating the home screen

Equipment on electricity, each motion axis initialization, touch screen at the same time, according to the welcome page 2 seconds junior into the interface or operation home screen (see figure 2), then the user can for equipment operation.

In the home screen operation, can through the function keys to switch other picture screen, also can undertake automatic biopsy operation.

Press the "start", the device automatically according to set the number of slice slice, and displays the current number of slices. State information is prompting the user to the current state of equipment, including initialization, standby, manual operation, automatic operation, the tray with the tip and sliced quantity and so on, the user can according to the prompt information for the corresponding operation.

3.2 parameter Settings

In operating the home screen press parameter Settings, enter the parameter Settings screen, select section size, feeding direction (clockwise or counterclockwise), rotating function parameters, such as,

3.3 manual operation panel

Send belt, cutting, pressure zone, and set them free ceramics, feeding plate, rotating, manual press a key to perform an operation, as shown in figure 4, you can also trigger small window screen pops up and blanking, realize "are finished with" after the prompt user operation information, next is more humanized.

3.4 equipment debugging

Condition monitoring and maintenance screen are used as equipment debugging.

4 application skills

4.1 D scripting

Equipment after startup, a welcome page first and last in main interface, display 2 seconds using the Proface D script function.

Specific method is: open the global D script dialog box, select the timer is triggered, the input time, regularly and expression in the script area input: [w: [# INTERNAL] LS0008] = 2 can (no. 2 refers to the main interface screen),

 4.2 system area switch function

Enabling the switching function picture of system area, then the main program in the PLC to alarm screen PLC address D30 number assigned to system area, then control system with alarm message will be automatically jump to the alarm information screen, this will reduce the burden of the PLC real-time monitoring alarm information,

4.3 the Memory function of Loader

Using the Memory function of Loader, do not use the PC only use USB storage to backup and data transmission project, greatly facilitate the design and debugging

5 conclusion

Slicing machine after input field running stability, and the user operation is simple, easy maintenance, has passed the user group acceptance, and won the high praise, is worth popularizing in man-machine interface.
