CONTROLTECH 2000
CONTROLTECH Control Technology 2000
is part of the System 2000 concept and is a modern laboratory
system for basic as well as for more advanced courses concerning
the field of control technology.
The system is built on high flexibility,
which makes it possible to
purchase a base unit system, and a number of additions to be
connected to the unit. The start line of the laboratory system
lies in
the Base Unit 2000. The Base Unit is equipped with laboratory
cards which have been carefully designed to suit each particular
area of study. The Base Unit serves as a cardholder, power supply
as well as a power box.
The Control Technology 2000 subject
range comprises Basic Control Technology and Advanced Control
Technology.
There is an impressive array of supplementary
courseware for each
subject and this includes an Experiment book, Text book, Exercise
book, Teacher´s book and overhead transparencies. There
are many colour illustrations and photographs of real-life events.
The books have been written in an easy
uncomplicated style to
encourage fast and enjoyable learning.
BASIC CONTROL TECHNOLOGY –
PNEUMATICS AND PLC
The course Basic Control Technology
offers a good grounding before more advanced courses in control
technology and automation.
The courses in this concept make use
of a Text book, Exercise book, Experiment book, Teacher´s
book and overhead transparencies.
The laboratory package includes:
Logic board
Software Controltech 2000
PLC board
Ball Sorting Machine
Simulation Board
Connection Board
Traffic Light Board
Cylinder Board
The logic board for the Base Unit 2000
contains a logic block with
switch and light diode as well as different relays.
The PLC board Mitsubishi Melsec FX0-14
MR PLC (24 VDC) with 8
inputs and 6 outputs is used in the Base Unit. Input and output
of the PLC is connected to a 20 pin socket contact (1 for input
and 1 for output) via 2 switches for fault finding.
To the PLC is connected a programming
unit for PLC programming or alternatively the PC software Controltech
2000.
The simplest PLC practises are performed
with a simulation board which shows input status with 6 light
diodes and has out- going signals simulated by 8 on/off switches.
With a traffic light board you can program
the lights for both pedestrian and vehicle crossings.
The cylinder board introduces pnematics
and sensors. Two double acting mini cylinders are driven with
help of valves.
On the board there is magnet detection,
inductive sensor and micro switch. It is operated via PLC programming.
A ball sorting machine gives the student
more training in pneumatics. From a storage area the balls of
metal and non-metal
materials are sent down to a sorting station. Here the balls
arrival is detected by a optical sensor.
The sorting is done by a shuttle cylinder
who carries the balls to the
relevant container.
The depositing of the right ball in
each container is aided by the use
of a mini cylinder. The ball sorting machine is connect to the
PLC board via the connection board.

ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
micro FMS
Modular training systems, built up from
scratch to FMS level. An automation system to be used partly
or in its entirety.
AUTOBYGG
AUTOBYGG is the foundation stone of Advanced Control Technology
and the way into micro-FMS, serving as it does to acquaint the
pupil with pneumatics, basic PLC programming and technical design
work. AUTOBYGG consists of an aluminium base plate on which,
using the appurtenant pneumatic components, profile systems and
a good deal of personal creativity, the pupil can
construct a variety of simple, PLC-controlled automatic handling
units. All electrical and pneumatic circuitry for the different
units is done by the pupil.
AUTOBYGG is used with a practice book
consisting of traditional
laboratory exercises and problem-based tasks. All illustrations
are in colour, which makes for more interested pupils and more
effective learning. AUTOBYGG brings out the pupil’s creativity
and improves learning achievement!
AUTOPORTAL
The AUTOPORTAL is a micro-FMS sub-system and is used either on
its own or with some of the other sub-systems. The AUTOPORTAL
provides a means of studying industrial automation techniques
on the basis of PLC-controlled pneumatics. Its three axes consist
of two shuttle cylinders (X- and Y-axes) which can be positioned,
independently of each other, as required, and a doubleacting
cylinder (Z-axis) armed with a vacuum cup in which objects of
different shapes and materials are collected, identified with
a variety of transducers and sorted between different stations.
Like the other sub-systems, the AUTOPORTAL
is mounted on a
750 x 960 mm aluminium plate, which is grooved so as to facilitate
adjustment and positioning of the different modules.
The AUTOPORTAL and the other sub-systems are armed with a teach
box which can be used for manual control or for connecting
control systems.
The AUTOPORTAL is an excellent system
for the basics and, together with the other systems, can also
be used for more advanced studies of control technology.
AUTOPORTAL Servo Package
As a further enhancement of the AUTOPORTAL’s educational
value,
an optional servo package has been developed which can also be
retro-fitted to the AUTOPORTAL.
This servo package is intended for servo
technology applications,
enabling you to position the X- and Y-axes of the AUTOPORTAL
with supreme accuracy. With servo control of these access, you
can
either run the system with the cylinders unpressurised or load
the system with a back-pressure, for greater inertia and instability.
The system consists of two AC-servo
motors with incremental transducers, connected to two ball screws.
The main system comprises a PLC-system armed with positioning
modules, servo
amplifiers and an operator’s terminal for control and status
indication.
AUTODRILL
The AUTODRILL is another mobile micro-FMS sub-system, consisting
of a handling unit, drilling unit and sorting unit. Like the
AUTOPORTAL, the AUTODRILL is mounted on a flexible aluminium
plate. These two sub-systems can easily be linked together by
means of a pneumatic conveyor unit, thus providing a platform
on
which several groups of pupils can work together.
With these two systems interacting,
PLC communication can also
be used.
The AUTODRILL handling unit collects
material from the raw material store and delivers it to the drilling
unit for machining.
After final inspection and identification at a couple of stations,
the
material goes on to a finished products store or a scrapping
station.
Through the AUTODRILL teach box, the system can be controlled
manually or through a PLC.
AUTOLIFT
The AUTOLIFT is the third mobile sub-system and building brick
of micro-FMS. Its various stations, such as a pneumatic handling
unit, a sorting unit/hoist and warehouse, make up a small automation
system which, separately connected to a control system through
the two teach boxes, can be used for training in advanced pneumatics
and PLC programming. Great emphasis is also put on applied sensor
technology, practising with a host of different sensors, e.g.
electric, mechanical and optic. Together with the other sub-systems,
the AUTOLIFT makes up a complete solution for training in modern
FMS automation techniques and for PBL (problembased learning)
project work.
ADDITIONAL CONTROL OBJECTS
Lift model
This model is intended as a control object for programming exercises
with a control system, PLC or computer. The process consists
of a lift cage to be moved between four storeys. The buttons
on the different storeys and inside the lift cage have LEDs.

AUTOMATIC LAUNDRY TA-I
The TA-I automatic laundry is a process model suitable for control
and measuring technique training with a PLC system and computer.
One of the big advantages of this automatic laundry is that most
people are familiar with the workings of the actual ”process”
– a washing machine programme, and can therefore proceed
more quickly to the business of structuring and programming their
own process.
Technical data:
The TA-I is a model of a full-sized modern washing machine, offering
a wide spectrum of potential control functions.
These include:
Sequential control
Motor control

analogue.
The digital IN and OUT terminals can
alternate between 24 V and 5 V logic, which means that the TA-I
can be controlled by a PLC system or directly by a computer with
TTL-I/O functions.
The automatic laundry has 10 inputs
with the following functions:
Motor forward (clockwise)
