Abstract

One of the main machines of the non-woven textile production lines is the roll machine, the final product is collected in this machine in the form of a roll. In most of the old non-woven textile machines in the textile industry, including the production of bedspreads, the cutting of the final product was done manually by the operator or the relay-contactor control system was used. Using the manual method reduces productivity due to its high error. In the contactor relay method, automatic cutting requires an intermediary controller (such as AUTONICS) to connect to the encoder. But with the help of industrial automation and control based on PLC & HMI, it is possible to calculate the production product size and production speed by using SCL programming language while removing the additional controller for the encoder. In this article, an automatic cutting system is designed using PLC, HMI, DRIVE. In this system, an encoder is used to send a signal to the PLC to determine the length of the product. In this system, an encoder is used to send a signal to the PLC to determine the length of the product. The rotation of the conveyor belt is controlled by DRIVE. HMI is used to control and monitor the system performance by the operator. SCL programming language is used for encoder programming and LADDER programming language is used for automatic cutting programming. The performance of this automatic cutting system was tested and operated in a non-woven textile factory by calculating the length, speed and total daily production of the final product.
