Application example: Motion components on a typical form-fill-seal machine
Form-fill-seal machines are used to package edible powders, dry food, and liquids into bags and pouches. It’s a common machine design that comes in versions for both continuous and intermittent operation. No matter the design, top design objectives for form-fill-seal machines are high throughput with minimal downtime and the ability to reconfigure the machine to […]
Coordination of motion automation with robotics — with unifying software and hardware
Automated installations feature more robots than ever. But unless it’s a custom or Cartesian setup, robot controls are traditionally segregated from those for automated motion axes. So connectivity between robot and system controller or PLC is via a network — usually based on Ethernet. Then a control system coordinates the machine functions of nearby conveyors or […]
New functions in B&R SafeDESIGNER 3.1 include expanded numeric ranges for functions
The latest version of B&R’s SafeDESIGNER tool now makes it possible to process and compare safe INT and DINT signals in addition to linking them mathematically using basic arithmetic operations. Safety-oriented function blocks are also available for converting INT and DINT values in either direction. This expansion now rounds off the full range of numeric […]
