Brief project description:
 Process of the existing plant recorded by video and mapped in Selmo Studio
 Actuators and sensors taken from E-Plan and entered as a system in Selmo Studio
 The new PLC code imported into Twin Cat 3
  Commissioning of the process logic software core in 5 days
  Plant produces after only a few days of commissioning

The machine separates stacks of slabs with variable slab thicknesses per type and order. The slabs are composite panels made of wood chips and concrete. Depending on the type, the separated slabs are cut into variable strip widths and notched or drilled if required. The finished slabs are transported to stacking towers and stacked again to form strip stacks. Finished strip stacks are transported to strapping via chain conveyors and removed by a stacker.

The software implementation in the new TwinCAT 3 controller went smoothly, as did the IO check. The Selmo software fully monitored the machine from this point on, so in the first phase of the restart, many errors occurred due to inaccurate sensors. The original software did not monitor these sensors properly. This led to errors that were not visible and subsequently to long downtimes. The complete monitoring of the machine stopped this behavior.
