1 Competency based qualification program in Process Automation MPS PA Bulk Goods Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

2 Agenda Industrial competency based qualification program in Process Automation for education and training. Introduction Project partnership Bulk Goods Target group Learning targets Learning system MPS PA Bulk Goods Single process stations Communication Integration in AFB factory Summary Impressions Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

3 Introduction By Process Control Technology or Process Automation we understand all flowing materials, such as fluids, gas or powdery and bulk material, manual or automated processes i.e. the production, transportation, treatment and disposal. Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

4 Introduction Few industries have as many facets as the Process Industry, which produces a wide range of products. Even though the end products may differ, automation is making huge leaps forward in each of these areas. Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

5 Introduction Process Automation concepts are indicated by: - Digitization of the data and acceleration of the material flow - Dezentralized intelligence - Increase the reliability of the systems - Communication via Fieldbus systems - Flexibility of the systems by free programming - Human-Machine interface Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

6 Project partnership Adiro as the project coordinator cooperated with highly potential partners like: - AZO as one of the leaders in industrial process applications - Festo as one of the worlds leader in Industrial Automation - University of Applied Science in Esslingen and Offenburg Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

7 Bulk goods A huge variety of different powdery and bulk goods can be found in the industrial production like: - Food processing - Pharmaceutical Industry - Petrochemical Industry - Chemical Industry - Construction goods - Recycling - Animal Feeding Industry Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

8 Target group The learning system MPS PA Bulk Goods is designed to cover all levels of occupational education from the vocational level up to Universities as well as all training levels in the Industry. The system is developed to cover a wide range of training targets for the following professions and industries for example: - Electronics - Mechatronics - Process technology - Food processing - Chemicals - Pharmacy - Biotechnology - Plant technicians - Maintenance and Repair - Economical Engineering Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

9 Learning targets In general there are five training fields which should be covered by a learning system: - Planning and design - Installation, Commissioning and Operation - Controller Programming - Industrial communication - Maintenance and Trouble Shooting Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

10 Learning targets With the MPS PA Bulk Goods system you will obtain the perfect tool to answer the important questions in the Factory- and Process Automation in general and in the food processing in particular not only the knowledge but also the skills by means of competency based qualification: - Dezentralized controller architecture and programming - Installation, Commissioning and Operation - Communication via Fieldbus system - Raw material and finished product quality control by weighing - Process visualisation via a Human-Machine interface - Factory Automation closed loop technology - Production planning and control, Economics calculations - Cleaning and hygienic regulations - Design and calculation of air pressure supply - Material transportation procedures - Product seperation via the fluidized solids (bed) technique - Interim stock definition according to different material steps - Continuity and batch mode of operation - Maintenance regulations and optimisation - Trouble Shooting in a networked production system Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

11 The learning system The learning system is highly flexible because of the modular design of the single stations. The system can be used as stand-alone, or integrated within our Process Automation and Packaging factory concept, internally called AFB-factory Agro Food Beverage. Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

12 The learning system Station 1: Raw material supply batch I by a conveyor Station 2: Raw material supply batch II by a shaker conveyor Station 3: Dosage and weight control Station 4: Popcorn production Station 5: Filling and weight control Station 1 Station 2 Station 3 Station 4 Station 5 Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

13 The learning system There are a variety of different dosage and transportation principles integrated: - Station 1 conveyor (possibility to close loop control the conveyor speed) - Station 2 shaker conveyor (possibility to close loop control the frequency) - Station 3 dosing screw (possibiliy to close loop control the dosing screw speed) - Pressure or vacuum transportation Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

14 The learning system Every single station is equipped with: 1. I/O-Terminal 2. Control Panel 3. I/O-communication 4. CPU 314C-2DP 5. Power supply 24 VDC 6. Emergency Stopp 7. Azovent (station 2-4) Cyclone principle to seperate compressed air from bulk material Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

15 The single stations Station 1 - Raw material supply batch I: - Typical gravity raw material feeding and transportation via a DC-motor conveyor - Silo concept and design - Open or closed loop control of the DC-motor conveyor speed - Material and level detection via capacitive proximity switches Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

16 The single stations Station 2 - Raw material supply batch II: - Typical gravity raw material feeding and transportation via a frequency controlled pneumatic muscle and a fast switching valve - Silo concept and design - Open loop control of the shaker frequency - Material and level detection via capacitive proximity switches - Dosing chute made from stainless steel Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

17 The single stations Station 3 Dosage and weight control: - Raw material transportation via a DC-servo motor driven dosing screw - Silo concept and design - Open or closed loop control of the speed of the dosing screw - Raw material portioning via a weighing cell - Material detection via capacitive proximity switches Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

18 The single stations Station 4 Popcorn production: - Hot air popcorn production via a heating and air flow element - Seperation of corn and popcorn via fluidized solids (bed) technique Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

19 The single stations Station 5 Filling and weight control: - Switch (swivel drive) to seperate the production process of continuity and batch - Finished product control via a weighing cell within the batch process - Human-Machine interface via a Touch Panel - Swivel drive, 180 to realise the end-user filling step of the finished popcorn in the batch process Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

20 Communication The system provides the possibility to communicate in different levels: - Standard I/O-communication - Profibus-DP - Industrial Ethernet (optional) up to the level of Human- Machine interface via WinCC Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

21 Integration in AFB-factory The system can be used as stand-alone, or integrated within our Process Automation and Packaging factory concept, internally called AFBfactory by means of Agro Food Beverage. Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

22 Integration in AFB-factory We expanded the standard AFB-factory concept by the Bulk Goods system to produce a variety of different products at the same time on the same system Liquid process as well as Bulk Goods process. Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods

23 Summary With the AFB-factory concept of Liquid and Bulk Goods you have the perfect tool to teach and train all aspects of industrial relevant training in Factory- and Process Automation. Adiro, Klaus Kronberger, Thomas Schwab MPS_PA_Bulk Goods
