Oven Electromechanical Control System Upgrade
Amiantit–Bondstrand
Project Overview
At Amiantit–Bondstrand, Hi-Tec upgraded the existing electromechanical control system on an oven machine with a Siemens PLC-based solution and operator touch panel.
Challenge / Project Requirement
The oven machine relied on an older electromechanical arrangement that the project aimed to replace with a PLC-based control system.
Solution and Technical Scope
The documented system used a Siemens S7-200 programmable logic controller (PLC) with a TP277 touch panel. The scope focused on upgrading the machine's control architecture and providing a touch-panel interface for operator interaction.
Project Outcome
The project moved the oven machine from its older electromechanical controls to a PLC-and-HMI arrangement. This provides a more structured platform for machine control and operator interaction; specific performance figures were not provided in the project reference.
