EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
• Understanding, putting into service, getting started and setting of the system
• Making different wirings and functioning tests
• Illustration and visualization of the result of a PLC program
Proposed Practical Works
• Studying and locating of the different components
• Wiring of cells, light signal tower and gearmotor
• Making different wirings corresponding to various operating scenarios of the system
TAPIX is a conveyor belt for a cash register with the same features as the ones you would find in a supermarket.
It comprises a conveyor belt driven by a gear motor, a control unit used by the cashier, an indicator light showing the status of the cash till and start and end of belt sensors.
The TAPIX system will only operate once the console has been connected to an external electrical cabinet.
MIMIC CONSOLE ALLOWING ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
• 1 HARTING ® rapid connector (on the console) for connecting sensors, the cashier unit and the status indicator light.
• 1 set of safety terminals (on the console) bringing together the wiring for the motor’s terminal board.
• This area can take a HARTING® rapid connection interface if the user does not have any electrical measurements to take from the motor.
CASHIER UNIT CONNECTED TO THE CONSOLE
It comprises all of the various controls that the cashier requires.
• “Till open” push-button
• “Last customer” push-button
• “Information request” push-button
• 3-position switch:
(1) Forced belt operation: The belt will continue to move forwards.
(2) Automatic operation of belt: The belt will move forwards depending on the objects that are
placed on it
(3) Switch off belt
STATUS INDICATOR LIGHT CONNECTED TO THE CONSOLE
Indicates the status of the till to customers
• Green = till open
• Orange = last customer
• White = Call
PHOTO-ELECTRIC CELLS CONNECTED TO THE CONSOLE
• Placed at the start and end of the belt, they detect
- the presence of an item on the belt, which in turn activates the belt
- that items are building up at the end of the belt, which in turn shuts down the belt
• These cells are of the NO, dry contact output type
GEAR MOTOR
Three-phase 230/380V. The motor’s terminal board, which protrudes onto the console, enables the user to add an ammeter or a wattmeter in order to measure the current and power.
SET OF CABLES
Set of two 3-metre-long cables supplied with TAPIX
Features of the basement
• Frame on wheels
• Dimensions : 1600 x 650 x 1150mm (Hight without indicator light)
• Weight : 60kg
• Understanding, putting into service, getting started and setting of the system
