Efika 5200B Project
Control PLC industrial machine with Efikain category Applications & Software
proposed by catohagen on 5th March 2006 (accepted on 20th March 2006)
Project Summary
Control a PLC industrial woodworking machine with Morphosand Arexx running on Efika.
This PLC controlled machine are made to divide the length into
whatever is set and feed the wooden stick into position and
work on the item, move it further etc, until its done.
Machine have a magazine you can fill up and sensors are used
to check when its empty.
The Efika will program the machine \'live\' so there are communication at all times.
Software written in Arexx and using rexxserdev as communication with the serial port.
This machine was previously controlled with a huge old pc
running Windows95 and visual basic software. Because of
the program is compiled and no source code to read, recreating this software must be done trying to first emulate the PLC machine so the visual basic program gives away its commands.
This part have been done using Pegasos/Morphos.
The machine will produce parts for these:
