Real – life Advantages (F&B)

Targets for a new packaging machine design:
‘Zero’ maintenance
‘Easy to clean’ design
Solution:
- Aim for a 50% mechanical parts reduction

PLCopen
Traditional Mechanical Design

Over 350 parts

PLCopen

Major part count reduction
Pulleys - 45 to 0
Belts - 15 to 0
Drive sprockets - 15 to 0
Spline shafts - 2 to 0
Gearboxes - 16 to 10
Motors - 1 to 10
Bearings - 18 to 3
Line shafts - 6 to 0
Total - 118 to 23
(81% reduction)

PLCopen
TC3 - Benchmarking
A benchmark is a reproducible, portable test
to measure the performance of a given
system in comparison to other systems

PLCopen
TC3 - Benchmarking
There are two main objectives to use a
benchmark:
1. To estimate the performance of the PLC in

your own application
2. To compare the performance of the PLC

with other PLCs and find out the specific
strength and weakness of a given system

PLCopen
TC3 - Benchmarking
Two different sets of benchmarks defined:
1. 5 different types of applications, which are typical for
the usage of a PLC.
2. Measures each language feature of the IEC 61131-3
separately
