2. INTRODUCTION
Alberi system is a
production control
integration system
which can connect
every machine in
production field an
monitor the machines
in order to see how is
going on productivity
chain
3. Arkitecture of Alberi system
Alberi is italian word trees, it means as a tree, we can
have many branches under control and this is exactly
what we can do in production area.
Starting from base, we have machines which can have
plc as controller, so our strong point is to be able to
connect them in our network and collect from them
information without modify their control panel or
software.
Our connections are completely transparent and we do
not have any effect in machines, only we can monitor
the productivity and many other sensitive data
4. MACHINES CONTROL LEVELS
All machines are divided in level of controls:
1. LEVEL 0; this is Plc which normally is placed near the
machine and control all machine movements
2. LEVEL 1; this is Hmi which normally is placed on main
console where operator stay because in this all information
regarding operation and alarms are displayed
3. LEVEL 2: this is Scada which normally is placed in a
separate room where only production responsible are
checking it and where all information regarding machine
are stored and saved.
4. LEVEL 3: this is Cim which is normally placed in the main
office and from this all information regarding production of
all machines are checked, stored and organized
5. LEVEL ZERO PLC
A Programmable
Logic Controller, or
PLC, is more or less a
small computer with a
built-in operating
system (OS). This OS
is highly specialized to
handle incoming
events in real time, i.e.
at the time of their
occurrence.
6. LEVEL ONE HMI
A human–machine
interface or HMI is the
apparatus which
presents process data
to a human operator,
and through which the
human operator
controls the process.
7. LEVEL TWO SCADA
HMI is usually linked to the SCADA system's databases and
software programs, to provide trending, diagnostic data,
and management information such as scheduled
maintenance procedures, logistic information, detailed
schematics for a particular sensor or machine, and expert-
system troubleshooting guides.
SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) is a type
of industrial control system (ICS). Industrial control
systems are computer controlled systems that monitor and
control industrial processes that exist in the physical world.
SCADA systems historically distinguish themselves from
other ICS systems by being large scale processes that can
include multiple sites, and large distances.
8. LEVEL THREE CIM
CIM is "computer-integrated manufacturing" and
is a method of manufacturing and the name of a
computer-automated system in which individual
engineering, production, marketing, and support
functions of a manufacturing enterprise are
organized. In a CIM system functional areas such
as design, analysis, planning, purchasing, cost
accounting, inventory control, and distribution are
linked through the computer with factory floor
functions such as materials handling and
management, providing direct control and
monitoring of all the operations.
10. CONCLUSIONS
We surely can say that a production chain is
effective when all part of it are working well
together, so our mission is to show where is weak
point and give all our technical experience to solve
it.
Our Alberi system can give real time situation of
productivity and help the devoloping of production
area thanks to our engeneering department
