Product Bundling.qxd 2/3/2005 3:14 PM Page 1 Application Case History Automation Control In Belt Conveyance Application This product bundling application shows the adaptability of the product solution and the synergy of integrating Telemecanique(R) automation products into a turn key system approach. It incorporates the Altivar(R) 31 drive and the TeSys(R) U-line starter in a unit handling motor control scheme in tandem with our OsiconceptTM sensor line. It combines the variable speed programmable capability of the drive, utilized by sensor logic inputs to the drive controller, to change speed on the fly along with changing the direction of flow. Also utilized are the MomentumTM weighing module, RFID module, AdvantysTM I/O module, Magelis(R) HMI display, and Concept programming environment. Solution INDUSTRY Material Handling OBJECTIVE Decentralized unit conveyor system The Schneider Electric solution for unit conveying in this application is to mount the conveyor motor control and I/O components in a decentralized control cabinet with communication capability back to the main PLC controller. Sequence of Operation 1. Set Manual/Off/Auto selector to Auto. SOLUTION MomentumTM, AdvantysTM Distributed I/O, Magelis(R), Altivar(R) 31 Drive Controller, TeSys(R) U-Line Motor Starter, and OsiconceptTM Sensing BENEFIT The successful integration of components to provide a robust product bundling solution. 2. Turn the On/Off selector to on and a red light on the indicating bank comes on. 3. Depress the start push button. This signals a buzzer and changes the indicating bank to green and starts the Altivar(R) 31 drive. 4. The conveyor starts and the tote travels by the first photo electric (PE) sensor which detects the tote and slows the drive down to 75% speed changing the indicating bank to orange. 5. The tote proceeds down to the end of the first conveyor, is detected by the second PE sensor and signals the indicating bank to go to white, indicating the crossover conveyor logic. 6. The Thru Beam sensors detect the tote transferring to the weigh scale conveyor and the first conveyor speed is reset to the original setting. 7. On the second conveyor, the RFID reader reads the RFID tag on the tote. This identifies to the system that the tote is about to be weighed. The second conveyor is supported by weigh legs (incorporating load cells) to provide the measuring device. 8. Once the tote reaches the end sensor assembly (containing a proximity sensor), the logic program reverses the U-Line starter and sends the tote back to the other end, changing the indicating bank to blue. continued...

(The logic program allows the previous PE and Thru Beam sensors to ignore the tote on its return.) 10. The tote hits another end stop sensor, located at the beginning of the first conveyor, and reverses the conveyor again where the display is reset to zero and starts over. The indicating bank returns to the run color green. 11. The tote continues to move through the cycles above until the Emergency stop button is depressed, shutting down the system. 12. In order to start again, the E-stop button must be pulled back out and the reset push button must be depressed prior to the start push button.
