itsubishi Electric’s new software solution, especially created for


use within the packaging industry, enables systems to be set up quickly and easily using function blocks and predefined programs for packaging applications provided in accordance with valid OMAC PackML and PLCopen international standards.


The solution also offers automatic program generation and state diagram creation.


Mitsubishi Electric says it has also expanded its range of predefined function blocks with the adition of application-specific functions such as Rotary Cutter, Dancer and Hopper Control.


“Thanks to the automatic program generation feature, all the operator has to do is set the parameters for the task in hand. The function block will automatically do all the rest”, explains Taku Shigihara, Team Leader Application Engineering and Development Team at Mitsubishi Electric Europe.

The solution takes into account both the function blocks for movement sequences based on PLCopen and the description of state diagrams based on PackML. The software also supplements both standards by adding the automatic creation of program structures and state diagrams. Taku Shigihara sums up: “The various


function blocks within our Packaging Solution software now enable machine configuration up to a level of about 80%.


“Of course, the customer can also apply his own know-how, thus ensuring an individual solution that precisely fulfils his specific requirements.” n
