Intelligent Belt is a software library for the automation of conveyor belts for decoupling production and packaging. The technologica basis of the packages is the SIMOTION Motion Contro System.
- Simple, successful commissioning thanks to preconfigured, tested software elements
- Compatibility with all drives and encoder types reduces engineering costs
- All functions can be configured – programming has been reduce to a minimum – resulting in fast integration into the user program.
- Remote diagnostics, commissioning and configuring tools that are integrated into the uniform and scalable SCOUT engineering system reduce the servicing and configuring times.
The application
- The function block contains basic functions (controller enables, monitors), manual operating modes (jogging, positioning, homing and return to initial state) as well as automatic mode which can be configured in detail.
- An Intelligent Belt comprises at least two trains which can be moved independently of one another on a shared track. Each train in turn comprises several pockets. The trains cannot pass one another.
- The belts or chains are run only in a positive direction. Once unloaded, the empty train is moved by the belt or chain to the underside of the mechanism and back to the loading position.
- The software library can be instantiated, which means that further belts can easily be added.
