Solution
For one of their customized line solutions,
Bosch Packaging, Goa, India worked with
Rockwell Automation to deliver the automation system. Application experts (GOTC)
from Rockwell Automation carried out detailed discussions & in-depth analyses with the
aid of the efficient engineering team of Bosch
Packaging. This yielded irrefutably positive results: it revealed the challenges faced in building a PDS and led to a broad definition of a
system that Bosch Packaging, Goa, India
wished to achieve.
KPIs of control system for PDS:
1. To engineer a configurable solution considering variability & functionality of the following:
* Main conveyor line speed & number of
wrapper lines down the line
* Down stream wrapper line speeds
and interruptions
* Creating a stand-by at wrapper line
* Scalability of architecture, based on line
speed (VFD-based or motion-based)
2. To encapsulate application code in
a template:
* Creating an application library, with section
wise control, where machine builder can
configure the code by using key selections
* Adopting a modular code structure, to ensure code re-usability, while addressing
various custom variants
* Creating application specific function
blocks (add-on instructions)
3. To ensure IP protection of application

code by using different levels of protection
in Studio 5000 Logix Designer®.
4. To adopt a strong communication network
(Ethernet/IP) to leverage the benefits and
lay the foundation for the future: Ethernet/IP is an industry standard and a popular choice across industries.
* To achieve the defined objectives, Rockwell Automation proposed a solution
based on:
* CompactLogix™ L3 controllers
* PowerFlex® 525 AC Drives, with an
embedded Ethernet/IP port and
Safe Torque-Off
* POINT I/O™ family of Distributed IOs
Stratix® Ethernet switches

* Protecting their application IP, ease of
training & maintaining code consistency
Bosch Packaging, Goa, India reduced their
engineering time by 50% on an average to deliver the similar projects, apart from greatly
simplifying their architecture. Bosch Packaging, Goa, India is also excited as their latest solutions now help to position themselves better
for the future, enabling them to deliver The
Connected Enterprise.
