Project Overview
GMG Corporation was contracted to design and program the logic for installation within a programmable logic controller installed as part of a robotic arm superconducting splicing station.
Business Challenge
The challenge of this project was to be able to design the software to the customer's exacting security standards while still providing them with ease of access to make changes to the source code governing control of the robotic arm. Both of these objectives were met with the chosen technology.
The Solution
This project showcases OPTO 22 PAC controller technology. OPTO 22 PAC technology was selected for this project for several reasons: SSD (Secure Strategy Distribution) PLC security, serial communications, hardware cost, and small physical footprint.
Technologies In Use
- OPTO 22 PAC Controller
- OPTO 22 PAC Control Software
- OPTO 22 SSD (Secure Strategy Distribution)
- OPTO 22 G70 Operator Interface Terminal
- High Speed Industrial Ethernet Communications
- SIX (6) Axis, Multi-joint robotic arm.
- Various OEM sensors and switches
Benefits
The benefits of the project are that the superconductor splicing robot arm now has the flexibility and capability to modify the control program internal to the robot arm as well as the OPTO 22 PAC Controller. These changes or modifications were set up to be made from a secure, centralized, server based platform.
