10th WEEK

           

Welcome to ROBOTOKER blog:

    

     This week we are involved in our third challenge, comunications challenge. To carry out this challenge we use OMRON devices. OMRON Corporation is a Japanese electronics company based in Kyoto. The main business of OMRON is the manufacture and sale of components, equipment and industrial automation systems.

      In this challenge we practice comunications, I mean, how show the automation process informaton to the operator, the maintenance technician or to the industrial engineer. To show that information we are learning to program OMRON´s HMI (Human Machine Interface). The HMI is a touch control screen.

     As you can see in the photography we can customize everything shown in the screen: the title texts, the manufacturer logo, the pictures, the location and size of all of them. The HMI also allows to control the PLC (Programable Logic Controler) process by tactile push-buttons like start, stop etc…

     The following video shows you how the device works:

   Finally I want to emphasize that this challenge seems to me the most difficult, due to the difficulty of learning a new software (Sysmac Studio) and the way to programming it, wich is Structured Text. So we will continue working hard and we will keep optimistic.
