DELTA

Delta PLCs for Machine Control

A programmable logic controller is often the central decision-making component of an automated machine. It receives information from sensors and other field devices, processes programmed logic, and controls outputs such as motors, valves, relays, and other equipment.

Delta offers PLC solutions for different levels of automation requirements, from compact machine control to more advanced applications requiring greater processing capability, communication, expansion, and motion functionality.

The choice of PLC depends on the machine architecture rather than simply the number of inputs and outputs. Factors such as processing speed, communication protocols, expansion requirements, programming features, motion requirements, and future scalability should also be considered.

Themis Automation can assist customers in evaluating these requirements when selecting Delta PLC solutions for their machines.

Delta HMI for Operator Interaction

An HMI provides the connection between the operator and the automation system. Instead of depending entirely on physical switches and indicators, operators can use a graphical interface to monitor machine conditions and interact with the control system.

Delta HMI solutions can be used for applications requiring:

• Machine status monitoring
• Production parameter adjustment
• Alarm indication
• Data display
• Equipment control
• Process visualization
• Operator input
• Communication with PLCs and other automation devices

For machine builders, HMI selection should consider screen size, communication interfaces, application complexity, mounting requirements, user interface requirements, and the number of devices that need to be connected.

Delta AC Drives for Motor Control

Motors are among the most commonly used electrical devices in industrial machinery. In many applications, operating a motor continuously at a fixed speed is not the most effective approach.

An AC drive can regulate motor speed and provide controlled acceleration and deceleration. Delta AC drives are used across various applications where variable-speed motor control is required.

Typical examples include conveyors, pumps, fans, compressors, production machinery, material handling systems, and other motor-driven equipment.

Drive selection should take into account motor power, voltage, current, load characteristics, operating cycle, required speed range, braking requirements, environmental conditions, and control method.

Delta Servo Systems for Precision Motion

Not every machine requires only basic motor speed control. Applications involving cutting, positioning, packaging, pick-and-place operations, electronic manufacturing, printing, and other precision processes may require accurate motion control.

Servo systems are designed for applications where position, speed, acceleration, and synchronization need to be controlled more precisely.

A Delta servo system can form part of a motion architecture that includes the servo drive, servo motor, controller, mechanical transmission, and feedback system.

The correct configuration depends heavily on the machine’s mechanical design and motion profile. Factors such as load inertia, travel distance, required speed, acceleration, positioning accuracy, cycle time, and mechanical transmission should be evaluated before selecting a servo system.

Delta Motion Control for Automated Machines

Motion control becomes increasingly important as machines become faster and more automated. A modern machine may need multiple axes to operate in synchronization while maintaining precise timing and positioning.

Delta provides motion-control technologies that can be integrated with its broader automation portfolio. This can be useful for applications involving multiple coordinated axes, electronic camming, positioning, synchronization, and automated production processes.

For OEMs, integrating PLC, HMI, servo, drive, and communication technologies within a coordinated architecture can make machine development more structured.

Where Delta Automation Products Fit into Industry

Delta automation solutions can be applied to a wide range of equipment and industrial processes.

Some examples include:

Packaging Machinery:
Automated packaging equipment may require coordinated motion, conveyor control, sensors, HMI interfaces, and servo systems. Delta automation components can be configured according to the machine’s control and motion requirements.

Conveyor and Material Handling:
Conveyors require dependable motor control and sequencing. PLCs, drives, sensors, HMIs, and communication components can work together to control material movement.

Textile Machinery:
Textile equipment often involves continuous motor operation, speed control, synchronization, and process monitoring. Automation components can be selected according to the specific machinery and process.

Printing and Processing Equipment:
Applications requiring synchronized movement and precise speed control can benefit from integrated PLC, servo, motion, and HMI solutions.

Machine Tools:
Machine tools can require precise control of motors and moving axes. The automation architecture needs to account for positioning, speed, feedback, and machine safety requirements.

Food and Packaging Plants:
Production and packaging lines typically involve multiple machines operating in sequence. Automation systems can coordinate individual processes and provide centralized operator monitoring.

Delta Automation for OEMs and System Integrators

OEMs and system integrators have different requirements from end users. Instead of purchasing a single component, they may need a complete combination of PLCs, HMIs, drives, servo systems, communication products, and accessories for a machine.

The automation architecture should be planned before individual components are finalized.

For example, the PLC should be capable of handling the required number of devices and communication tasks. The HMI should support the required interface and communication protocols. Drives and servo systems should match the motor and mechanical load. Communication between the different devices should also be considered during system design.

Themis Automation can support customers during this product-selection stage by understanding the application and technical requirements.

Selecting the Right Delta Automation Products

There is no single Delta product that is suitable for every machine. Product selection should begin with the application’s actual requirements.

For a PLC, important considerations may include I/O count, processing requirements, communication interfaces, expansion capability, and motion requirements.

For an AC drive, motor power, voltage, current, load type, speed range, and duty cycle are important.

For servo applications, the required torque, speed, inertia, positioning accuracy, acceleration, and cycle time become more significant.

For HMIs, screen size, communication, mounting, application complexity, and operator requirements need to be considered.

This application-first approach helps avoid selecting components based only on price or basic specifications.

Delta Automation for New Projects and Upgrades

Automation requirements are not limited to new machines. Existing equipment may also require modernization because of obsolete controllers, discontinued components, changing production requirements, or the need for improved monitoring and control.

An upgrade can involve replacing a PLC, introducing an HMI, upgrading motor control, adding communication capability, or moving from conventional motor control to servo-based motion.

Before replacing an existing component, compatibility with the existing machine architecture should be evaluated. This includes wiring, communication, programming, motor characteristics, mechanical interfaces, and control requirements.
