[Improvement Case] Key Points for Adopting PC and PLC in Control Systems

Introduction of a case where complex circuits were simplified by dividing roles between PC and PLC.

Here is an example of improvements in the production instruction system. We were importing production information from the upper PC to the PLC for production instruction control, but the data volume became enormous, leading to increased costs for design time and debugging time. By integrating the PC into the production system and controlling production information with the PC, we were able to reduce debugging time, decrease the occurrence of circuit defects, and shorten lead time through simultaneous design of the PC program and ladder circuit, achieving cost reduction. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges - The circuits became more complex, requiring more man-hours for interpretation, and the increase in circuit defects also led to higher costs. ■Results - By integrating the PC into the production system and controlling production information with the PC, the burden on the PLC was reduced, and the interpretation of the ladder circuit became quicker. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
