Concrete mixing machine automation upgrade

Upgrade project of Siemens S7-200 /HMI ESA to Schneider M221 / HMI  Magelis of a concrete mixing machine - Cameroon - 21/08/2018

Project overview

CSI AUTOMATION has designed the automation system for a concrete mixing machine with industrial weighing.
The existing hardware was obsolete and faulty (S7-200 and ESA HMI). The new system is based on Schneider M221 PLC and Magelis STU (Human Machine Interface Panel).
Communication between the PLC and the weight indicators is done via Modbus RS-485 while communication between the PLC and the HMI is based on Modbus TCP IP.
The project was carried out in FASTRACK mode (5 weeks including 4 days of installation/commissioning)


Mobirise

Weight indicators and Magelis HMI

An integrated solution

Interconnected equipments

Systems Intergration

Established communication between an M221 (Schneider Electric) with a MAGELIS (Schneider Electric) console and a Laumas W100 weight indicator.

Professionalism

Gentle commissioning. With a rigorous method of design (functional analysis, test procedure, internal test) we were able to respect the stop schedule of the machine.

Weighing solutions

This project demonstrates our ability to design an industrial weighing solution and to provide the material in a timely manner.
