Chapter 4 Introduction to Automation The University of Jordan Mechatronics Engineering Department Chapter 4 Introduction to Automation Dr. Osama Al-Habahbah 2015

Introduction to Automation Automation is the technology by which a process or procedure is accomplished without human assistance. Power Automation Implementation Program of Instructions Control System

4.1 Basic Elements of an Automated System Power to operate the process. Instructions Program. Control System to actuate the instructions. Power Program of Instructions Control System Process

4.1.1 Power to Accomplish the Automated Process The principal source of automation power is electricity, that is due to: Availability. Moderate cost. Ease of conversion to other forms of energy ,such as mechanical,thermal, and hydraulic. Ability of data storage and transmission. Ability of storage in batteries to be used anywhere.

4.1.2 Program of Instructions It defines the actions performed by an automated process. Work Cycle Programs: the simplest example is the control of a furnace temperature(process parameter) at a specified value(one step). More complicated example: Load the part into the production machine. Perform the process(such as cutting ,stamping,….) Unload the part.

Disadvantages of using Hardwired Components to Control work cycles (such as timers , cams , relays ,….. ) Their design and fabrication is time consuming. Not flexible. Can’t interface with computer.

Decision – Making in the Programmed Work Cycle Process input process parameter Process output process variable Work cycle has two features : Number and Sequence of processing steps: Load. Process. Unload. The process parameters change in each step Open/close (discrete) Lower temperature/higher temperature (continuous ).

Possible Cases of variation in work cycle are: 1- Operator interaction with the program of instructions, such as ATM machine. 2- Different part or product styles processed by the system; such as a welding robot dealing with more than one car model at the same assembly line (batch production or flexible automation ). 3- Variations in the starting work units; (They are not consistent); such as sand castings prior to machining, adjustments might be needed for individual pieces.

4.1.3 Control System The control system executes the program of instructions to accomplish the defined function. Automated System Controls: 1- Closed-loop AKA.(feedback control system) 2- Open-loop control system.

Feedback control system Controller Actuator process Output variable Input parameter AKA (set point) Feedback sensor Example of input: desired thermostat setting in a home temperature control system.

Feedback control system Do you control the input or the output? The controller reduces the difference between the input and the output (by adjusting the output using the actuator ) Open loop Control System : Disadvantage: Not the right “adjustment ”maybe done . Advantage : Cheaper. Output variable input Controller Actuator process

4.2 Advanced Automation Functions 4.2.1 Safety Monitoring : Automation serves to reduce hazard at the work place. This is accomplished by designing the automation system for safety. Safety monitoring capability of the automated system protects human workers as well as the equipment. Sensors are used to track the system’s operation and identify unsafe conditions

Safety Monitoring The safety monitoring system may responds to these conditions by: Stopping the system. Sounding an alarm. Reduction operation speed. Taking corrective actions; (most sophisticated).

Safety Monitoring Sensors used for safety monitory include: 1- Limit switches to detect proper positioning of a part in a workholding device . 2- Photoelectric sensors triggered by the interruption of a light beam; (presence detector). 3- Temperature sensor. 4- Heat or smoke detectors 5- Pressure-sensitive floor pads to detect intruders. 6- Machine vision systems for surveillance.

4.2.2 Maintenance and Repair Diagnostics They have three modes of operation: Status monitoring: current system parameters. Failure diagnostics: detects malfunctions and identifies the causes of the failure. 3. Recommendation of repair procedure: using artificial intelligence to suggest repair steps

4.2.3 Error Detection and recovery In case of a malfunction, the control computer automatically takes corrective action.

Production system errors: 1- Random errors: due to the stochastic nature of the process. 2- Systematic errors: result from some assignable cause, such as change in raw material properties. 3- Aberrations: deviations resulting from either equipment failure or human mistake. All possible errors should be anticipated in order to specify the proper sensors and software to detect them.

Types of Error recovery strategies (by level of urgency): Make adjustments at the end of the current work cycle. Make adjustments during the current cycle. Stop the process to invoke (call up) corrective action; (automatic action). Stop the process and call for help, If automation is not able to fix it; (manual action).

4.3 Levels of Automation (Hierarchy) Enterprise level 5 Plant level 4 Cell or system level 3 Machine level 2 Device level 1

4.3 Levels of Automation (Hierarchy) 5. Enterprise Level: Marketing, Sales, Accounting, Design, Research (e.g: Planning) Corporate information system 4. Plant Level: Production systems (shop floor control, quality control, order processing, inventory control) 3. Cell or System Level: Manufacturing system, groups of machines (e.g. Production line) 2. Machine Level: Individual machines ( PLC, CNC, Robots) 1. Device Level: Sensors, Actuators, other hardware elements
