AUTOMATIC CONTROL SYSTEM OF THE DIVIDING MACHINE FOR THE BAKERY INDUSTRY

V diplomski nalogi so prikazani opisi sistema avtomatskega vodenja delilnega stroja, strukture sistema vodenja, strojnega dela računalniške opreme in programskega dela računalniške opreme ter preizkus delilnega stroja, kjer je opisan postopek preizkušanja stroja. Delilni stroj je avtomatski delilnik testa in je del linije za obdelavo testa. Njegov namen je, da velike količine testa zreže na majhne kose. Stroj ima več načinov delovanja oziroma deljenja kosov testa. Razlika med načini delovanja je vsota število kosov, ki padejo istočasno na notranji transporter, kar določa naročnik stroja oziroma projekta. Namen diplomskega dela je predstaviti sistem vodenja delilnega stroja, opisati pretvarjanje in nadgradnjo obstoječe programske kode ter pretvorbo vmesnika človek – stroj za delilni stroj, narejen v razvojnem okolju podjetja Omron, v izvedbo razvojnega okolja podjetja Siemens. V diplomskem delu so opisi celotnega sistema vodenja delilnega stroja ter pretvorbe in nadgradnje programske opreme. Opravljen je tudi preizkus delovanja avtomatsko vodenega delilnega stroja. Delilni stroj, ki je bil izdelan po zahtevah stranke, je bil uspešno preizkušen in predan stranki.The diploma thesis describes the automatic control system of the dividing machine, the structure of the control system, the computer-based control hardware, the control-design software and the final test of the dividing machine, where the procedure for testing of the device is described. The dividing machine is an automatic dough divider. It is a part of the dough-processing line. It is intended to cut large amounts of dough into small pieces. The machine has several operating modes or ways of dividing dough pieces. The difference between the operating modes is in the number of pieces, which fall on the internal conveyor simultaneously. The dividing-machine customer determines the operation mode. The purpose of the diploma thesis is to present the control system of the dividing machine, to describe the software conversion and the upgrade of the existing program code and to describe the human-machine interface for the dividing machine. The software conversion is implemented from the Omron’s design environment to the Siemens design environment. The diploma thesis includes the description of the entire control system, the description of the software conversion and its upgrade and the final test of the automated dividing machine. The dividing machine, which was designed and assembled according to the customer requirements, has successfully passed the final test and has been delivered to the customer
