INVT Motion Control Solution for Cut-to-Length Machine in India

Abstract: This document introduces INVT IVC1L PLC, DA200 servo, VS-Q HMI for Cut to length machine. Which are more compatible components for a Cut-To-Length (CTL) machine application, with communication typically established via Modbus RS485 or high-speed pulse output. It solve the issue of accuracy and increase the productivity.

Project Background

This OEM, based in Mumbai ,India is an old manufacturer in the processing steel industries. Their existing CTL machines used other make servo and PLC, operated at low speed, limiting the productivity. The customer was seeking a high-performance solution to achieve faster with change of mechanical and achieve more precise, and fully automated machine with some logic modification.

Customer Requirements

The customer’s existing machines used other make servo and mechanical loop with  first-generation PLCs, which were low-speed and had fixed motion due to mechanical limitation. The customer wanted to upgrade the mechanical and upgrade the logic to achieve higher adaptability to different product sizes, faster changeovers, lower energy consumption, and increased productivity with accuracy. INVT provided the economic PLC IVC1L, High performance DA200 servo, and VS-Q HMI to meet these requirements.

INVT Solution

Solution Overview:

To achieve high-speed, high-precision, fully automated filling machine INVT has installed the new generation control product to achieve the application demand. These systems integrate advanced control technologies like Motion PLC, human-machine interfaces, and high response servo systems to guarantee high speed, reliability and accuracy of the system.

Solution advantages:

• The INVT IVC1L PLC is a compact, cost-effective, high-performance PLC Includes high-speed pulse inputs (up to 50kHz/100kHz) and outputs (up to 100kHz) for precise motion control. With standard ports (1x RS232, 2x RS485) support protocols like MODBUS for versatile connectivity.

• The INVT DA200 is a high-performance AC servo drive system. Up to 2.0 kHz speed response frequency for quick, precise movements.Advanced Control Includes automatic notch filters, vibration suppression, friction compensation, and gain adjustment for stable operation.which help to tune the servo becomes easier at real time during actual load.

• The INVT VS-Q HMI is a series of cost-effective, powerful touchscreens for industrial automation, offering clear displays, easy configuration (Cortex-A7 CPU), and robust communication (Ethernet, RS232/422/485). Also provides Datalog of every sheet and downtime record using historical data logging.

Solution Value

1. The cut to length line machine can do the feeding and use INVT AC servo drive. INVT DA200 supports 200kHz pulse input to control the feeding roller that ensures fast positioning with less error (with in 0.1mm)

2. INVT servo as a result we can achieve better accuracy as there is no loss of pulses.

3. For Different length, we have used different recipe and transfer the speed, position, ACC, DEC

4. Low maintenance and high accuracy because of AC servo motor driven system.

5. These machines have minimal downtime and more working time, After INVT solution production rate is higher with comparison to older system.

6. Production is increased by 5% with loop control

7. Economical Solutions as compare to older system.

Conclusion

INVT’s solution delivered significant performance improvements in terms of speed, efficiency and accuracy. we have upgraded the system with economical IVC1L PLC and DA200 servo on Pulse mode .Customer is very much satisfy with our performance and feature and given repeated order to INVT India.
