Preface

The Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS), Model 5901-1 or Model 5901-3, is a modular system that allows students to experience challenges commonly encountered in facilities. The system comes with the necessary equipment to familiarize students with basic manufacturing applications such as:

operating a flat belt conveyor; feeding and sorting parts into containers; configuring and wiring sensors, buttons, indicator lights, and other

devices; PLC programming; installing pneumatic equipment; troubleshooting.

The difference between Model 5901-1 and Model 5901-3 is in their Programmable Logic Controller. In Model 5901-1, the Allen-Bradley CompactLogix L32E (Model 5930-0) is used. With Model 5901-3, the Allen-Bradley CompactLogix L43 (Model 5930-A) is running the system. The L43 includes the functionalities of the L32E, but with integrated motion instructions.

The Flexible Manufacturing System (Advanced Applications), Model 5901-2 (add-on to 5901-01) or Model 5901-4 (add-on to 5901-3), is an add-on to the Flexible Manufacturing System. It allows students to create more sophisticated applications using the latest manufacturing technology such as: Servo Drive, Touch-Screen Operated Control, Machine Vision System, Bar Code Reader, and Optical Encoder. The fully automated Storage Unit option, Model 5940, is available as an add-on to Model 5901-3 and 5901-4.

The sequence in which the curriculum must be completed is shown below, along with the necessary equipment for each manual. The Introduction to Manufacturing manual must be completed first. Human-Machine Interface, Machine Vision, and Servo Control manuals can be completed independently, but are all prerequisites for FMS Production Line. Finally, Storage Unit requires knowledge of all the other subjects.

Designing an HMI

The point on which all energy should be focused when designing an interface is the usability. According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the usability (or quality of use) has three important components: effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction. Thus, an interface with a high degree of usability should allow the user to do what he has to do (effectiveness), speed up the task and reduce errors (efficiency), and give the end user a pleasant and stress-free experience (satisfaction). Usability should never be neglected, particularly for safety-critical systems or systems where a human error may result in significant money or time lost.

The Touch Screen Graphic Terminal, Model 5922, is a graphical user interface (GUI). It provides graphical outputs for the user on an LCD. The first step when designing an interface for a graphic terminal is to decide what will be displayed on the limited display area of the LCD. Once this is determined, the interface can be created using an interface design software such as FactoryTalk View Studio . When designing and creating an interface, keep in mind that the interface must be intuitive, simple, and complete.

FactoryTalk View Studio objects

FactoryTalk View Studio is a software that can be used to create applications for the Touch Screen Graphic Terminal. Below is a brief description of the FactoryTalk View Studio objects required to create the application described in Job Sheet 2.

Display

A graphic display is the area available to draw the objects and insert the text to be displayed on the Touch Screen Graphic Terminal. The graphic display is what the operator is viewing when the application is running. The maximum size of a project display is determined by the project window size. The size of the graphic display created using FactoryTalk View Studio must match the display resolution of the Touch Screen Graphic Terminal (i.e. 320 x 240 pixels). There are two types of displays available, Replace displays and On Top displays. The size of the Replace displays is automatically set to the project window size. If a Replace display is opened, it replaces the display already displayed on the terminal. On Top displays are displayed "on the top" of the displayed Replace display.

Empty displays are created using the Displays context menu in the project explorer or by selecting File -> New -> Display. The default display type is the Replace display. The display type can be changed in the General tab of the Display Setting window.

Momentary push button

Momentary push buttons can be used to initiate actions. A momentary push button has three possible states: State 0, State 1, and Error. The momentary push button is set to State 0 when it is released, to State 1 when pressed, and to Error state if a problem with the button connections setting occurs.

Momentary push buttons are created by clicking on the Momentary Push Button icon located in the Objects toolbar or by selecting Objects -> Push Button -> Momentary.

Ellipse

The Ellipse object is part of the FactoryTalk View Studio drawing objects. Drawing objects are static and can be used to illustrate the display. If an animation is attached to a drawing object, the object can be made to move or change color if a data source adopts certain values.

Ellipses are created by clicking on the Ellipse icon in the Objects toolbar or by selecting Objects -> Drawing -> Ellipse.
