Nozzle Mechanism
Solution Description
One of the current implementations uses a PLC to
control the nozzle, and a PC-based controller to
integrate product information to MES. However,
this is not very efficient; the need to maintain two
different technologies is cumbersome and time
consuming. The newly proposed solution with a
plug-in motion control card integrates nozzle control
and production information to MES in one system,
and can be made possible with Advantech’s PCI-
1240U. PCI-1240U provides 4-axis stepping and
pulse-type motion control. Moreover, the onboard
intelligent motion ASIC builds in a variety of motion
control functions such as 2/3-axis linear interpolation,
circuit interpolation, T/S-curve acceleration and
deceleration. These functions can be performed
without processor loading during operation.
Another important process in the automation solution
is quality control. There should be sensors checking
the quality and accuracy of each PCB board.
Advantech’s PCI-1756 provides 32 isolated digital
inputs and 32 isolated digital outputs with channel-
freeze functionality. It allows reset protection function
which enables the default configuration in the event
of an incorrect operation during an unexpected
system reset. The final product quality can be easily
ensured, and overall, the performance level can be
raised significantly. .
Conclusion
