DESCRIPTION OF THE SOLUTION
A control system is applied in a pulp bale drying plant. The control system provides communication with two commercial scales. One scale weighs a bale, the other scale weighs a group of six bales (units). The control system further generates a unique number for each unit to which pulp quality data is recorded directly in the control system. A unique barcode is printed on each bale of pulp using contactless technology with a high-resolution barcode and ink suitable for food processing environments. Also included is a TCP/IP communication server that communicates via TCP/IP with the control PLC and sends the data on the produced ounces to the MES master system directly to the SQL database. Two operator panels, one located in the control room and the other directly in the production hall, are used for operator control of the control system. The control system uses Siemens components.
APPLICATION AREAS
- Control systems of production units
