Soft-PLC solution makes more bread
JBC Flexible Automation has developed an automatic packaging solution for bakeries controlled by a soft PLC running under GE Fanuc's Cimplicity Machine Edition.
Employing an object-oriented, ActiveX "shell," Cimplicity Machine Edition provides a common user interface across all applications.
In addition, all Cimplicity Machine Edition components share a common database and common objects, including logic, scripts, graphical panels and data structures.
Once a variable with its properties is created, it can be re-used in other components of the project.
Cimplicity Machine Edition comprises three interoperable components: View, Logic Developer, and Motion Developer.
• View is a machine level HMI providing tools to visualise and control a process.
It supports communication protocols for all the major PLCs, including OPC client and server drivers, and publishes data and graphical panels over the web to a standard web browser • Logic Developer is a common development environment for programming, monitoring, and troubleshooting PLC and PC Control applications.
Logic Developer includes: Logic Developer PLC for programming all GE Fanuc PLCs, including Series 90T Micro, VersaMax, VersaMax Nano/Micro, Series 90-30, and Series 90-70; Logic Developer State, an alternative programming language for Series 90-30 and Series 90-70 PLCs using State Logic instead of traditional ladder logic; and Logic Developer PC for programming applications for Windows CE, Windows NT/2000, Embedded NT, and Hard Real-Time NT platforms • Motion Developer is used to develop motion-control programs for GE Fanuc's S2K series motion controllers.
Cimplicity Machine Edition components can exist alone or in any combination, and components can be added easily at any time. Request a free brochure from GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK ...
