Principle of operation, based on the example of a loaded bending beam load cell
For each load cell, at least four strain gauges are connected together
as a complete Wheatstone bridge The stretched or compressed strain gauges are connected in such a manner that the positive or negative resistance changes are summed to produce an overall
imbalance of the bridge
Trang 17The supply voltage is applied across one diagonal of the bridge and,
in the case of the sixwire connection method, also the sensor voltage SENSE The measured voltage is tapped across the other diagonal For a constant supply voltage EXC, therefore, the measured
voltage SIG changes proportionally to the introduced load In
practice, load cells contain additional resistors for temperature
compensation and for zero-signal and characteristic-value
compensation
Depending on their type and the requirements, these resistors can
be arranged at the input or output of the load cell

Trang 28Data is transmitted and received on pins 2 and 3 respectively
Data Set Ready (DSR) is an indication from the Data Set (i.e., the modem or DSU/CSU) that it is on Similarly, DTR indicates to the Data Set that the DTE is on Data Carrier Detect (DCD) indicates that
a good carrier is being received from the remote modem
Pins 4 RTS (Request To Send - from the transmitting computer) and
5 CTS (Clear To Send - from the Data set) are used to control In most Asynchronous situations, RTS and CTS are constantly on
throughout the communication session However where the DTE is connected to a multipoint line, RTS is used to turn carrier on the modem on and off On a multipoint line, it's imperative that only one station is transmitting at a time (because they share the return phone pair) When a station wants to transmit, it raises RTS The modem turns on carrier, typically waits a few milliseconds for carrier to
stabilize, and then raises CTS The DTE transmits when it sees CTS
Trang 29up When the station has finished its transmission, it drops RTS and the modem drops CTS and carrier together
Clock signals (pins 15, 17, & 24) are only used for synchronous
communications The modem or DSU extracts the clock from the data stream and provides a steady clock signal to the DTE Note that the transmit and receive clock signals do not have to be the same, or even at the same baud rate
Note: Transmit and receive leads (2 or 3) can be reversed depending
on the use of the equipment - DCE Data Communications Equipment
or a DTE Data Terminal Equipment

host of successful reference applications worldwide from the most varied industrial sectors, such as:
• Manufacturing engineering
• Automotive industry
• General machine construction
• Special-purpose machine manufacturing
• Standard mechanical equipment manufacture, OEMs
Trang 35■ The ability to integrate powerful CPUs with Industrial
Ethernet/PROFINET interface, integrated technological functions, or fail-safe designs make additional investments unnecessary
■ The S7-300 can be set up in a modular configuration without the need for slot rules for I/O modules There is a wide range of modules available both for the centralized and the distributed
configuration with ET200M
■ The Micro Memory Card as a data and program memory
makes a backup battery superfluous and saves maintenance costs
In addition, an associated project, including symbols and comments, can be stored on this memory card to facilitate service calls
■ The Micro Memory Card also enables simple program or
firmware updates without a programming device
The Micro Memory Card can also be used during operation for
storing and accessing data, e.g for measured value archiving or recipe processing
■ In addition to standard automation, safety technology and motion control can also be integrated in an S7-300
■ Many of the S7-300 components are also available in a
SIPLUS extreme version for extreme environmental conditions, e.g extended temperature range (-40/-25 … +60/+70 °C) and for use where there is corrosive atmosphere/condensation

3.1.1
Our Component Dosing Using Weighing Control has been created as
an answer to market demand for precise and accurate batching of products Our dosing system is combined with external automatic systems and mechanical part The most suitable and effective
mechanics for our application is material handling
hat Is Material Handling?
3.1.2 W
The Material Handling Institute of America offers the following as one definition of material handling: “Material handling is the art and science associated with providing the right materials to the right
place in the right quantities, in the right condition, in the right
sequence, in the right orientation, at the right time, at the right cost using the right methods.”
hat Are the Major Objectives of Conveyor
3.1.3 W
Application?
Conveyors, as with all material handling equipment, do not add value
to the parts, products, or pieces that are being moved They do not shape, form, process, or change a product in any way They are totally processes of service and as a service they have an indirect bearing on product cost as part of the overhead The following is a list of some of the major objectives of implementing conveyors:
Reduce actual manual handling to a minimum
Perform all handling operations at the lowest reasonable cost
Eliminate as many manual operations as possible
Ease the workload of all operators
Trang 40 Improve ergonomic considerations for each operator
Improve workflow between operations
Provide routing options for intelligent workflow
Increase throughput
Carry product where it would be unsafe to do so manually
