Objective
The objective of this Craft project is the development and implementation of an operating system which will enable us to create a modular multi-level architecture integrated and open control system, for injection. Moulding plastic machines, manufactured with low-cost standard components, to replace the hardwired systems currently in use. Similar to the evolution of personal computers, our aim is to develop a multi-level architecture modular system, with the objective of separating the hardware (injection-moulding) and the software (control) and permitting low-cost standard components (PLCs)a to be used. Such systems will be completely open (Windows environment) programmable, adaptable to the company's and/or customer's operating system, with a user-friendly environment that will be the same for all the companys machines, in accordance with EUROMAP^b guidelines, and with minimum, affordable maintenance. An injection-moulding machine is a system useful to perform a series of automatic operations. It dispense the material through the turn of a screw, inject and compact the material through a forward movement of a screw and finally open and release the piece through programmable movements of an interlocking device.
