Machine Building
VAI S.r.l
1. New application with PLC and Drive
integration
2. Motion Controller and Automation
Controller all in one
3. New technologies to be learned in a
short time
First realization of a continuous vertical flowpack
machine for the packaging of pellets completely based on Siemens
components.
Siemens provided extended support in the configuration and software design phase, by endorsing the customer with the basics of flying shear applications
A full Siemens configuration was adopted in this case based on V90-PN and G120C drives, ET200SP and ET200MP decentralized periphery and CPU 1515T-2 PN for logic and axis synchronization
Siemens TIA Portal V14 with integrated Startdrive V14.
SINAMICS V-Assistant for the parametrization of V90-PN servo-drives for exteded drive diagnostics Inclusive APC Support
Inclusive APC Support
One software for everything:
By working within a unique environment a reduction of the development time was achieved smoothing the learning curve required for the programming of the whole system.
One CPU for everything:
Reduced system complexity, simplified architecture, reduce time to market around 50% thanks to S7-1500 T-CPU & PROFINET features. Simpler diagnostics and mantainance.
Pre-sales and application support by Siemens:
New technical expertise was acquired quickly over the new S7-1500 T-CPU Motion control system, in TIA platform, defining a solid basis for future projects.
