package for tubular bag machines
At the Fachpack 2003 from October 8 - 10 in Nuremberg, Siemens
Automation and Drives (A&D) will be presenting its new
product line for vertical tubular bag machines. Siemens A&D
offers the manufacturers of packaging machines an attractive
all-in-one solution with preconfigured software modules for
standard tasks. Standardized diagnostic tools also make it
possible for machine operators to reduce their service and
maintenance costs.

Siemens A&D will be introducing two basic packages, one
for continuous and one for intermittent tubular bag machines.
In both cases, the hardware contains all essential components,
such as power supply, controller, drives (feed and power circuits),
I/O, bus connector, and HMI unit. The Simotion D motion control
system makes it possible to program PLC and motion control
on one device. The packages include the required runtime licenses.
Machine equipment such as cross-sealing units can be automated
with the aid of the modular software library for tubular bag
machines. In order to ensure compliance with the new OMAC
(Open Modular Architecture Controls) guidelines, Siemens developed
a software module for the machine's operating states. The
relevant production data, correspondingly structured, are
made available to the higher-level MES systems.
The operator interface contains screen forms for standard
tasks (such as temperature control, Jog mode or diagnostics)
as well as interfaces for machine-specific adaptations. This
makes it possible to perform commissioning and service tasks,
for example zero offset following readjustment of the reference
sensor, without using the engineering system.
