COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING TRAINER – PLC ALLEN BRADLEY
CIM (computer integrated manufacturing) is a manufacturing method, in which the entire production process is controlled by computer.
This manufacturing method includes transversal applications in several didactic areas such as automation, pneumatics, electronics, mechatronics and process control.
De Lorenzo has developed station-based training systems, which allow the student to view a specific manufacturing process of an industrial production line.
The trainer is a closed- loop control system based on PLC that exchanges information collected from sensors.
The version DL CIM-A integrates Belt conveyer, Linear Transfer, and Pick and Place units.
The DL CIM-A trainer is available in two versions depending on the PLC integrated in the system:
- DL CIM-A_1200 with Siemens PLC (S7-1200 series, CPU 1214C)
- DL CIM-A_AB with Allen Bradley PLC CPU 2080-LC30-16QWB
Expansion module 2080-IQ4OB4
A third version is also available which adds an HMI and SCADA software to the DL CIM-A with PLC Siemens:
- DL CIM-AS_7INCH with 7 inch HMI
- DL CIM-AS_10INCH with 10 inch HMI
The CIM system is also available with an open terminal block instead of the PLC.
This version allows the connection of an external controller through the 2mm terminals.
For the correct operation of the system, it is recommended to use a PLC with similar or improved characteristics (INPUT/OUTPUT) as the ones provided with our standard versions (see previous notes).
