Innovative Solution for Mixing Ink and Bottling

We will now look at ink mixing and bottling PLC programming. EasyPLC software suite has a feature called Machine Simulator (MS) that comprises several machines that can be programmed, or you can design your own. One such machine is the ink mixer, which is used to mix different inks using the red, green, and blue master colors. Bottles are filled from the mixing tank, and this mixing machine allows us to create recipes in the PLC to select the mixed ingredients for the desired color. These recipes can be programmed into the PLC to set the number of bottles to be filled, along with the recipe selection. The PLC will enable remote adjustment of these settings in the future. We will use the Do-More Designer PLC Simulator to program the virtual machine, an effective tool for programming and simulating the ink mixer machine. With this software, we can create and test a range of recipes that can be used for mixing inks, making it a versatile and efficient tool for various ink mixing and bottling applications. Using the Do-More Designer PLC software, we will connect the simulator to the ink mixing machine. This will be done using Modbus TCP (Ethernet) for communications. Using the five steps for program development, we will show how this is programmed. Let's get started. Our website post provides effortless access to all the relevant links discussed in the video. We have gathered all the necessary information for your convenience, to all the resources mentioned. https://accautomation.ca/innovative-solution-for-mixing-ink-and-bottling/ 00:00 Innovative Solution for Mixing Ink and Bottling 01:39 Define the task: (Step 1 - Mixing Ink and Bottling) 04:07 Define the Inputs and Outputs: (Step 2 - Mixing Ink and Bottling) 07:00 Develop a sequence of operation: (Step 3 - Mixing Ink and Bottling) 11:22 Develop the ladder logic PLC program (Step 4 - Mixing Ink and Bottling) 24:48 Test the program: (Step 5 - Mixing Ink and Bottling) The EasyPLC Software Suite Series can be found here... https://accautomation.ca/series/easyplc-software-suite/ Some previous posts include the following: EasyPLC Installing the Software https://accautomation.ca/easyplc-installing-the-software/ https://youtu.be/EbWS_elbI2w
