Distribution Center
Work began at this site in 1997 and
has included the upgrade of a Packing Sorter control
system from a DEC PDP-11 to an Allen-Bradley PLC-5/60L with an RS View
application. This turn-key project
also included the addition of two new Accu-Sort bar code scanners, one on
line and the other as a hot back-up.
Complete documentation of the control system was also provided with an
Operations Manual, as well as the conversion of over 60 drawings to
AutoCad. This project was commissioned without production interruption.
The Allen-Bradley Data Highway Plus
interface was used for the communications between the PLC and the RS View
computer, as well as the bar code scanners. Continued work has been
performed to include the expansion of the DH+ network to 12 other PLC's
and computers, along with the inclusion of a new Shipping Sorter to the
RS View application. Other work has included
upgrades to the controls of various conveyor systems in the facility as
requested. Twenty turn-key projects have been performed at this site.
