Packaging Toolbox enables easy engineering of packaging machines
The Siemens’ Packaging Toolbox is now available in its entirety for the Simatic S7-1500 controller and supports international standards such as OMAC, PackML and Weihenstephan Standards.
The toolbox
comprises basic functions, technology functions and international standards. Typical
Basic functionalities that the toolbox provides are axis control, TCP/IP
communication, acyclic communication and alarm handling. The Intelligent Belt
technology function enables sequentially arriving products to be picked up and
made available in groups at an unloading position. The Intelligent Infeed
application is used to pick up products arriving in a continuous but irregular
flow and make them available to the downstream station with defined and equal gaps
between them. The Form, Fill and Seal library contains functionalities for the
overall coordination of foil feeders, dosing units, and cross sealers in
horizontal and vertical applications.
In order to fulfill international packaging standard requirements, the
Simatic CPG Template (Consumer Packaged Goods) provides a TIA Portal project
structure based on a modular design. This gives machine builders a clear and
tested project basis, and end customers a standardized interface that enables
easy line integration. The OMAC software library provides an OMAC-compliant
mode and state manager.
There are also motion control applications for handling equipment, the
Converting Toolbox and applications for the linear motor based multi-carrier
system (MCS) transport system available.
