WEEK 4

This week, we have changed the challenge, since the previous challenge we had finished.
In this challenge, what we have to do is create an installation using electropneumatics, and the installation has to work this way;

-By the signal of a button that we have called"start",

a single acting cylinder will come out, together with that cylinder a piece will come out.

-When the piece is out, the robot tool absorb the piece, through a vacuum system, and will move the piece to a conveyor belt.

-Once the piece reaches the tape, this will move, then by means of sensors will have to say if the piece is red, black or gray.

-If 4 pieces of the same color have been detected, the installation will stop and with a reset button we reset the counters.

We also have to program another robot arm to move it to understand how it works. We also have to program an HMI panel.

To finish everything on time, We divide the work among the 5 members of the group.


Giancarlo watched how to connect 2 PLC's in youtube and after that he tried programming the robot.

Josu, tried to run the variator, but he couldn't. Then he started pregramming with Giancarlo the robot.

Jon, was doing the PLC programm in "Tia Porta" (Tia Portal is a programm to start programming PLC's).
