My name is Pierre Hermann, project manager electrical/automation for Sidel. I work on the project RG Brands in Kazakhstan.

Hereby you’ll find the network layout that you can check and validate if OK.

I’m also working on the signal exchange file between the tilter and the conveyors.

We are using a Siemens S7-1500 PLC and suggest a communication TCP/IP (through siemens send/receive functions). Is it OK for you ?

As I don’t know your machine, what are your needs:

  • Do you take bottles on the fly, or you need bottles in contact at the infeed ?
  • Can you vary the speed of the tilter’s conveyor, or is it fixed ?
  • Can the tilter stop with bottle in it ?

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate. We can create a teams meeting if you want to.

Dear Mr Hermann and Mr Benezech,

Please excuse my late reply. Here below I will try to summarise all points you had previously shared and the corresponding answers in blue. Please let me know if I had left something out:

  1. Network layout proposal – your proposal is ok for us as per attached file.
  2. We are using a Siemens S7-1500 PLC and suggest a communication TCP/IP (through siemens send/receive functions). Is it OK for you? – Yes, it is ok.
  3. Do you take bottles on the fly, or you need bottles in contact at the infeed? – We will be supplying (and managing) dosing belts which will allow bottles infeed management based on our machine’s requirements.
  4. Can you vary the speed of the tilter’s conveyor, or is it fixed? – ==Tilter’s speed can be varied.==
  5. Can the tilter stop with bottle in it? – The machine allows bottles presence once the tilter is stopped, however, please check if this might impact product’s features. From the mechanical point of view there are no issues.
  6. Signal exchange proposal – It is ok for us as per attached file. Please note the protocol has been changed to TCP.
  7. Electrical features file – It has been filled in. Please find it here attached.

In case I had missed something, please feel free to remind me the points to be closed.

Kindest regards.

The communication is indeed foreseen in TCP-IP protocol. But we usually don’t use the PUT/GET blocks.

==Our standard is to use the send/receive blocks from Siemens (TSEND_C and TRCV_C).==
