2. What is Hard Gelatin Capsule
?

3. Hard Gelatin Capsule
Machine

4. More about the machine
 Allen Bradley control system
 DeviceNet communication system
 10 main heaters and HVAC system
 Hydraulic system
 Pneumatic system
 Mechanical system, and Pumps
 Electrical motors, Instruments, and Sensors

5. Why SCADA project needed?
 Production followed up by Management
level
 Parameters monitored and analyzed by
Engineering level
 Fault tracking
 Save manual data recording time
 HVAC calculations

6. Project Hardware
 AllenBradley -- SLC 5/04 & 5/05 controller
 StarTech Netrs232 ( Rs232 to Ethernet )
Adapter
 Ethernet Switches

7. Project Softwares
 RSLinx Gateway
 Microsoft Excel
 Visual Basic for applications
 StarTech IP-Extender Manager

8. Project Objectives
 Remote monitoring and recording for
machines status and parameters.
 Print monthly report about break down
time
 Daily data presentation
 Archiving data

9. Reason behind using Excel
 Low cost instead of using that software:
 FactoryTalk.
 Cristal Report.
 Sequel Database.
 High programing capabilities.
 More popular.
 Unlimited Tags
