Contribution to the factory io project 79 (cross-docking machine more robot)

Hello:

Creating a scene is more laborious than programming it. I suppose the communications between FACTORY IO and the PLC, plus the recorder, plus everything that happens on the PC affects the simulation. However, if instead of simulating from the server, we do it from a physical PLC, the communication is much better and faster. Still, you can’t ask for more. Keep in mind that the tape is ON when the robot picks up the part; it’s not the same as if it bumps into an object.

We continue with this project. Although two unforeseen issues have been resolved during “machine startup,” which we could say is that FACTORY IO allows us to perform startups, more unforeseen issues will surely arise, but hey, we’ll enjoy them, learning something new every day.

I hope students and teachers will take on this project, which is unparalleled anywhere in the world.

Greetings

Hello:

If everything was correct, the result should be this:

Obviously, it can be completed with more control actions from the HMI, such as logs, forcing the machine to stop to change outputs, alarms, simulating faults by stopping one of the emitters, etc., etc., etc., but those ideas are very simple to program, and I’ll leave them to the students and teachers who dare to try them in class.

On the other hand, even after changing the outputs, the counters should continue counting by color.

I hope to see it on YouTube soon…

It is recommended that you follow all the videos for a better understanding of the project, as changes to the scene may be necessary throughout the project.

Best regards.
