PC-based Control for the Packaging Industry

The requirements for packaging machines are just as diverse as the properties, formats and materials of the products to be packaged: apart from hygiene and freshness, which are most important in the packaging of food, the aesthetics, the presentation design and the logistics of goods all play a crucial role. Not only that, packaging design is subject to ever-changing fashion trends, so that packaging machines must be highly fl exible. In addition to demand for small pro-duction lots and higher production speed, traceability and complete electronic process documentation and validation must be ensured.

Performance-related control optimises all process stepsPC- and EtherCAT-based control technology from Beckhoff is ideally suited for the automation of the entire process chain for individual packaging machines and complete packaging lines, from fi lling, form-ing and sealing to labelling, collecting, re-packing and palletising. For the packaging machine sector the extensive Beckhoff product range offers high-performance IPCs with motherboards especially designed for industrial applications, compact Embedded PCs, a wide range of electronic I/O terminals, versatile servo drive technology, cost-effective stepper motor technology, the high-speed EtherCAT fi eldbus, the TwinCAT PLC and Motion Control software, and Control Panels as operating display units. With regard to computing power, complexity and cost, a scalable control solution can be created for any packaging machine from the integrated modular product range.

More and more functions such as Motion Control, Condition Monitoring, robotics, etc. are moving over into the software and are controlled by a PC, so that the control architecture is becoming

increasingly ‘lean’. In addition, hardware is becoming increasingly compact, thus decreasing space requirements in the control cabinet and reducing the physical footprint of the machine. However, PC Con-trol gives rise to even more advantages: for example, the integration of Condition Monitoring in the controller improves diagnostic options and simplifi es error handling, as a result of which machine effi ciency is optimised.

TwinCAT: continuity with PC-based technologyThe universality and openness of PC-based control technology, in terms of both hardware and software interfaces, helps machine manu-facturers to adapt their systems to the diverse and ever-changing requirements without high implementation costs. TwinCAT integrates PLC and Motion Control functions and controls the individual process steps of the packaging machines with high performance. Software PLC programming is based on the international IEC 61131-3 standard. A wide range of software modules for different packaging tasks such as cam plates, synchronisation and interpolating movement of several axes are available. High-performance tools such as the TwinCAT CAM Design Editor and TwinCAT Scope support system design and com-missioning. PLC libraries with function blocks based on the PLCopen Motion Control and the OMAC PackSoft standards facilitate pro-gramming. Open communication interfaces support integration into existing visualisation and control systems. Depending on the require-ments of the automation components, the Windows operating system enables further software components (in addition to TwinCAT) to be installed on the same hardware.

Beckhoff | New Automation TechnologyBeckhoff implements open automation systems based on PC Control technology. The product range covers Industrial PCs, I/O and Fieldbus Components, Drive Technology and automation software. Products that can be used as separate components or integrated into a complete and seamless control system are avail-able for all industries. The Beckhoff “New Automation Technology” philosophy represents universal and open control and automation solutions that are used worldwide in a wide variety of different applications, ranging from CNC-controlled machine tools to intel-ligent building automation.

Innovative products and a full range of servicesSince the foundation of the company in 1980, continuous devel-opment of innovative products and solutions using PC-based control technology has been the basis for the continued success of Beckhoff. Many automation technology standards that are taken for granted today were conceptualised by Beckhoff at an early stage and successfully introduced to the market.– 1982: P1000 – single-board motion controller– 1986: PC Control – fi rst PC-based machine controller– 1988: S1000 – software PLC/NC on PC (DOS)– 1989: Lightbus – high-speed fi eldbus utilising optical fi bre– 1990: All-in-one PC motherboard– 1995: Bus Terminal – fi eldbus technology in terminal

block format– 1996: TwinCAT – real-time software package under

Windows with PLC and Motion Control functions– 1998: Control Panel – remote IPC Control Panels– 1999: Fieldbus Box – the I/O system in IP 67– 2002: CX1000 – modular Embedded PCs for DIN rail mounting– 2003: EtherCAT – real-time Ethernet fi eldbus system– 2005: TwinSAFE – the compact safety solution– 2005: AX5000 – EtherCAT Servo Drive– 2007: Industrial Motherboards – Made in Germany– 2008: XFC – eXtreme Fast Control Technology– 2009: HD Bus Terminals – 16-channel terminals in 12 mm– 2010: TwinCAT 3 – eXtended Automation Technology (XAT)

The Beckhoff PC Control philosophy and the invention of the Lightbus system, the Bus Terminals and TwinCAT automation software represent milestones in automation technology and have become accepted as high-performance alternatives to traditional control technology. EtherCAT, the real-time Ethernet solution, makes forward-looking, high-performance technology available for a new generation of leading edge control concepts.

Worldwide presence on all continentsThe central divisions of Beckhoff, such as development, production, administration, distribution, marketing, support and service are located at the Beckhoff Automation GmbH headquarters in Verl, Germany. Rapidly growing presence in the international market is taking place through 28 subsidiaries. Through worldwide co-operation with partners, Beckhoff is represented in more than 60 countries.

XFC (eXtreme Fast Control): higher productivity The basis for the ultra-fast process communication is the EtherCAT Industrial Ethernet system, which is ideally suited for use in packaging machines. The fast communication between the controller and the I/O signals – without special hardware – offers the machine manufacturer undreamt-of possibilities. With XFC from Beckhoff, extremely fast and highly precise control solutions can be created for packaging machines on the basis of standard components. For example, the EtherCAT distributed clock functionality enables high-precision printing mark control; the time-stamp EtherCAT Terminals are suitable for very fast touch probe inputs of 1 µs.

The foil is pulled off a roll under even tension (dancer control), deep drawn with the aid of a stamp or a roller and formed accordingly.

Homogeneous fi lling requires synchronous, coordinated movements.

The fi lled product is welded or sealed with a foil that is unrolled under constant tension.

The prerequisite for labelling is the perfect synchronisation of the label guidance with the conveyor belt on which the product is introduced.

EtherCAT is the Ethernet solution for industrial automation, characterised by outstanding performance and particularly simple handling.The use of EtherCAT in the fi eld of robotics offers decisive advantages:– top performance on the basis of Industrial Ethernet– Extremely short update times are possible for the process image (50 µs).– Control loops (up to the current controller) can be closed via the bus. Control of the axes

can take place centrally in the controller – including the coupled movement function.– No subordinate I/O subsystems; each I/O terminal is an EtherCAT device. This makes

extremely short reaction times possible.– The application determines the topology, not the communication system: line, star, tree.– Redundancy, Hot Connect and Hot Swap options are integrated in the system.– safe data communication with the Safety over EtherCAT protocol

(IEC 61508 up to SIL 3 and IEC 61784-3)– A standard Ethernet port can be used for the EtherCAT master; no special master interface

card is necessary.
