fischertechnik Training Factory Industry 4.0 24V (en)

This project contains the PLC programs, the IOT gateway SD card image with Node-RED flows and the TXT gateway C program for the fischertechnik Training Factory Industry 4.0 24V.

Folder Content
Node-RED Node-RED flows, SD card image for IOT gateway
PLC_S7_1500 PLC S7 1500 project (TIA Portal v16)
PLC_S7_1500_exercises PLC S7 1500 exercises (TIA Portal v16)
PLC_SCL_sources PLC sources as SCL (Structured Control Language)
TxtGatewayPLC C program TxtGatewayPLC.cloud for the TXT controller

Hints

  • In the PLC examples PWM must be activated on the adapter boards. Please check the jumpers and activate all PWMs if they are disabled!
  • TIA16 is needed to open the example files. Please see hints for TIA15

Controllers

The standard demo scenario is implemented with the www.fischertechnik-cloud.com. It is also possible to use the PLC program without the fischertechnik cloud. In this case the local Node-RED dashboard can be used.

The following diagram shows the communication between the 3 controllers PLC, TXT controller and IOT gateway (Raspberry Pi 4): overview_communication_en

Network

The next picture shows the network overview with the controllers. factory_overview_en

The factory consists of the following stations:

  • SSC: Sensor Station with Camera
  • HBW: High-Bay Warehouse
  • VGR: Vacuum Gripper Robot
  • DPS: Delivery and Pickup Station
  • MPO: Multi-Processing Station with Oven
  • SLD: Sorting Line with Color Detection

Node-RED

The Node-RED flows for the Training Factory Industry 4.0 24V you can find in Node-RED folder.

OPC-UA Interface

You can use the UaExpert tool to determine the OPC-UA interface of the Training Factory Industry 4.0 24V (see screenshots).
