Control Protocol
There is a lot that goes into the mold
change as well as the control setup,
and this was simplified by using the
WebOP.
Factory Floor - Machine Automation 1 Stop
Factory Floor - Machine Automation 1 Stop
Old Method
Store mold setups in HMI Loading a new recipe is easy - Use a USB bar scanner plugged directly into the WebOP
to scan a bar code from a plate on the mold.
Simplified Mold Changes
New Method with WebOP
Store mold setups in recipe book To load a new recipe, operator would type in serial number to call up the mold setup
recipe. With this method the operator sometimes typed in the wrong serial number and/or got the molds confused.
Another thing that sold us on the
WebOP was the development
software.

Built-in FTP Server Allows for file transfer to/from remote
WebOP panels with a FTP Client. May
be used to download trend history,
alarm log, recipe files, WebOP project
files. Useful for the integration of
automatic data collection applications.
Another choice the integrator gave us
was on the remote I/O.

Let’s have a look at
our backup generator.
We have occasional
power loss, so it’s
important to have a
backup for our critical
systems. We added
functionality for
remote start and
monitoring to our
generator.
