With the rapid development of modern industry, automatic production has become an important trend in the manufacturing industry. In the logistics and storage industry, palletizers are more and more widely used, especially gantry stackers. Gantry palletizer is a kind of efficient and stable automatic equipment, which can realize fast and accurate palletizing of goods. The gantry stacker based on PLC is more intelligent and can achieve more efficient automatic production. So, how to achieve efficient automation of gantry stacker based on PLC? Next, let’s reveal the secret.
1. The basic principles of PLC
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is a programmable logic controller, which is a special computer for digital operation of electrical equipment. It communicates with the external equipment through the digital input and output module to realize the control of the external equipment. The working principle of PLC is to logically calculate the input signal and then output the control signal. PLC can automatically execute all kinds of control operations according to the requirements of the program to realize automatic production.
Second, the composition of gantry stacker based on PLC.
The gantry stacker based on PLC is mainly composed of PLC control system, mechanical motion system, sensor system and man-machine interface system. Among them, the PLC control system is the core of the whole equipment, which is responsible for controlling all parts of the equipment to work together to realize automatic production.
Third, the workflow of gantry stacker based on PLC
The workflow of gantry stacker based on PLC mainly includes the following steps:
1. Sensor detection: when the item reaches the sensor detection area, the sensor will send the detected signal to the PLC control system.
2. PLC control system processes the signal: after receiving the signal sent by the sensor, the PLC control system will carry out logical operation and output the control signal according to the requirements of the program.
3. Control signal output: the PLC control system outputs the control signal to the mechanical motion system to control the movement of the mechanical motion system.
4. The mechanical motion system works: after receiving the signal sent by the PLC control system, the mechanical motion system will carry out the corresponding action to palletize the items.
5. Man-machine interface system shows: the man-machine interface system will display the whole palletizing process on the screen, which is convenient for operators to monitor and manage.
Fourth, the advantages of gantry stacker based on PLC
The gantry stacker based on PLC has the following advantages:
1. High degree of automation: the gantry stacker based on PLC can achieve fully automated production, which greatly improves the production efficiency.
two。 Good stability: PLC control system has high stability, which can ensure the stable operation of the equipment.
3. Strong flexibility: the gantry stacker based on PLC can be flexibly adjusted according to different production needs, improving the adaptability of the equipment.
4. Easy to operate: the gantry stacker based on PLC has a man-machine interface system, which is simple, convenient and fast.
V. Summary
The gantry palletizer based on PLC is a kind of efficient and stable automatic equipment, which can realize fast and accurate palletizing of goods. It is composed of PLC control system, mechanical motion system, sensor system and man-machine interface system to realize automatic production. The gantry palletizer based on PLC has the advantages of high degree of automation, good stability, strong flexibility and simple operation, so it is a very important automation equipment in the logistics storage industry.
