sps ipc drives 2017

•••26••• Messewelten ZVEI mit neuem Standort in Halle 3A Der Zentralverband Elektrotechnik- und Elektronikindustrie (ZVEI) ist in diesem Jahr auf der SPS IPC Drives mit einem neu- en Standort für Hauptstand und ZVEI-Fo- rum in Halle 3A vertreten. Am Stand 449 präsentiert der Verband aktuelle Trends und Themen rund um die Digitalisierung in der industriellen Automation. Zu diesen Trends gehört unter anderem wieder das Dauerbrenner-Thema „Energieeffizienz im Antriebssystem“. Das Forum „Automation meets IT“, auf dem Neues rund um Indus- trie 4.0 und den Kommunikationsstandard 5G in Vorträgen und Podiumsdiskussionen präsentiert wird, finden Besucher diesmal in Halle 6. Synchronic control of two drives SmartFactoryKL to showcase Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) demonstrator T echnological infrastructure that enables a flexible and agile yet also automated produc- tion process will be shown by the SmartFactoryKL technology initiative in hall 10.0 at booth 508. SmartFactoryKL invites visitors to learn about modular assembly, innovative assistance systems, and real time communication and stand and experience Industrie 4.0 networking live. One of the main hallmarks of In- dustrie 4.0 is modular manufac- turing. But what happens when changes to the system are re- quired in short intervals? How do you ensure the path of the work pieces through the production se- quence? One part of the solution is provided by mobile transport systems. The mobile robot plat- form of SmartFactoryKL is an ag- ile transport system that enables flexible material transportation. The product is forwarded from the product modules to the man- ual work station. Thanks to com- plex sensor systems, motor tech- nology, and wireless networks, this transport unit automatically reaches its intended destination. Thus, a product can automatically be passed along from module to module, even if these are located within locally separated produc- tion lines. And, the transport unit is always able to locate the cor- rect production module to ensure a smooth production process. Which role will workers play in a digitalized, fully automated fac- tory? SmartFactoryKL’s intelli- gent manual work station shows how humans and machines will be working hand in hand. The station supports the technicians with their assembly tasks. For example, Augmented Reality sys- tems help to manually perform individual process steps or even the complete assembly process. The advantages are, quite literally, right at hand: The workers receive optimal support in complex man- ufacturing processes, training, and maintenance tasks. The mod- ular design ensures the manual work station can be customized to the local requirements. TSN stands for Time-Sensitive Networking. This real-time ether- net variety was introduced as the communication standard for In- dustrie 4.0-based production. The advantage of TSN? On the basis of TSN, a real-time and multi-proto- col network infrastructure can be offered. This caters to the needs of modern IT systems as well as to the real-time requirements of in- dustrial control systems. The use case shown on the demonstrator is the synchronic control of two drives with real-time control data via TSN-Ethernet. Simultaneously, via this TSN net- work infrastructure, the video streams of a webcam (that could, for example, be used for quality data collection with a machine vi- sion system) are transmitted to a remote display. Real-time commu- nication can be carried out with- out any disturbances. The TSN demonstrator (Sercos real time protocol over Time-Sensitive Net- working) was built with six part- ners from industry and research.
