Hi friends! I hope you are doing well! Today we are going to learn and practice a new topic which is a very crucial technique in plc programming. the topic is called “latching”. We mean by Latching to keep the output running starting from the instance of giving a kick-off command until we hit a command to stop running of the motor. Imagine my friends, operator wants to start a motor by hitting a start push button and want the motor to keep running and leave and go for doing another task or job. And then it keeps running until the operator wants to stop it. The problem here is that, once the operator releases his hand away from the push button, the motor automatically stopped and that is not like what the operator wants to do with the motor. To clear the problem that we are going to solve, and for which we need to use the latching technique to connect a load, Figure 1 has been created for you to show the situation to make a direct connection to a motor by using a simple push-button. In this circuit, the operator needs to keep pressing the push button as long as he needs the motor to keep working. Otherwise, the motor will stop once he releases the push button. So would please think with to figure out what is the solution for that?
Fig. 1: Connecting motor to power by push button directly
Let’s try to connect the motor through a relay as it is typically in the industry. Maybe that helps us to control the way to energize the relay coil and use its contacts to start and stop the motor, Figure 2 shows how we can employ a relay to connect the motor to the power source. However, again In fig. 2, the operator still has to keep pressing the button as long as he wants the motor to keep running. This is not the best practice in real life, the operator has many jobs to do. So, he wants to give the command to commence running the motor and leave it running to perform some other tasks and then has the motor stops after the job has been done. In this case, latching is the best practice to connect the motor or any load we want it to run for a while or until complete some functions.
Fig. 2: relaying motor to DC power by hitting start push button
Now, I hope you can feel the problem between our hands and sense the meaning of the word “latching”. Again, in a real-life situation, motors or any actuators can be run via relay, by energizing the relay’s coil, the contacts of the relay switches over from off to on and then connects the motor to let it starts spinning. So for running the motor, the rely on coil should be energized. However, the latching technique makes that requirements go away, instead of that, the contact that has been used for connecting the motor to power, is used to be another pathway to connect the rely on the coil to power without needing to keep pressing the start push button. WoW! What amazing solution is that! to just hit a button and then forget about it and use the contact to make like a closed-loop to have the coil connected to power forever and let the motor work forever. Ohhh!! Forever!!! How do we run the motor without stopping? Yes, you are correct. It should be a way to break that loop when we want to do stop it. we need a way to just stop the latching, to break its loop, to enable the operator to stop the motor when they need to do.
Let’s now show you guys how we can establish and construct a complete latching circuit step by step. In the following subsections, three steps by which will be demonstrating how to complete a typical latching circuit including only push-button and relay.
First of all, in a very simple circuitry which is shown in Fig. 3, the DC power lines positive and negative are connected with a push-button and relay to run a load. The positive wire in red is connected to the push button and then to the coil terminal A1 and A2, and then to the ground black wire. So now, it’s clear that when the push button is pressed it turned on and connects the circuit of the relay coil all the way to be energized. As a result, the contact of the relay is connected and now it is ready to connect the external circuit to run an actuator i.e. motor. But when the push button is released, the coil will be de-energized and the relay coil turns back to the open state and the motor is going to stop. So moving to the next step of building a latching circuit in which we aim at creating another pathway to supply the relay coil with power to forget about the push button and have it continue to run even after releasing the push button.
Fig. 3: the typical push-button and relay circuit
Now Fig. 4 shows the main wiring schematic of a basic latching circuit by which we indeed realize the concept and functionality of the latching technique. in the circuit, you can notice my friends that, the contact upper point and the relay upper point are connected in such a way that, it creates another pathway for energizing the relay coil without any needs to press or even touch the push-button B1. Again, when the push button B1 is pressed, the relay coil will be energized. As a result, the relay contact will be close contacted and in turn bridges point A1 to the positive red wire. Now, when the push button is released, the relay coil still has another pathway to connect to the positive wire so the relay coil will keep energized. I know now what comes out to your mind? if this configuration and schematic can put the relay coil in the loop and energize all the time by the first kick-off by hitting the start button thanks to the latching technique. The question now is, how about stopping the motor?. How to break this loop? Yes, that’s the only thing is remaining to complete a typical latching circuit.
Fig. 4: the second step of latching
We can name this step by ending latching. As shown in fig. 5, a normally close (NC) push-button B2 is added in the way from contact to the positive, red, power wire. Firstly, when the push button B1 is pressed, the relay coil is energized. And the contact of the coil is connected to the positive red wire as the push-button B2 is in a closed state by default. So now, it will be latching as long as the connection to the positive wire does not break. So by hitting push-button B2, it will turn out to open state and the connection to the positive wire is broken. Therefore, the relay coil will be de-energized and the latching gets to stop.
Fig. 5: Ending latching step 3
I know guys you all are waiting to come to this point to go to our lab and simulator and practice our tutorial. So now after we discussed the concept and basics of what latching is and how does it work? We now are all set to start our simulator and practice latching techniques in ladder logic programming as we used to do every tutorial.
Now we need to connect a simple start push button “input A” to the motor at “output” Q0.0 straight forward as in fig. 6. You can see, by pressing the input push button switch, the output motor starts spinning. But how about after releasing our hands off the start button?
Fig. 6: Before latching
Well done! Yes, exactly like what you expected, as shown in fig. 7, when the start pushbutton has been released, the motor stops immediately.
Fig. 7: the motor stops when we released the start button
Now by adding another pathway to run the motor as shown in Fig. 8, a contact from relay “output” has been used in parallel to form “OR” logic with the start push button. So, in the first place, when the start button is pressed, the output goes high and the closed contact now adds another pathway in “OR” logic.
Fig. 8: the latching effect in ladder logic example
Figure 9 shows how the closed contact that has been taken from the relay plays the role of the alternative path to connect the output to the power. So when the input start push button has been released, the closed contact of the output relay makes the connection and the output continue running. However, there is now one problem that, how to break that connection to stop the output?
Fig. 9: the latching effect after releasing the start button
The solution for having a way to shut down or break the latching connection is that, adding a normally closed (NC) push button “input B” in series as shown in fig. 10. This way enables to break the latching connection and shut down the output.
Fig. 10: adding a stop push button to end latching
So by hitting input B, the connection of latching is broken and the output stops running. But breaking the connection will make an issue if the input B is a switch like an emergency switch. The problem is that it should be returned to its normally closed state to enable the cycle to start by hitting input A or the start push button.
Fig. 11: the usage of adding stop button to end latching
By having the stop button return to the normally closed condition, the cycle can be restarted by pressing the start push button and enabling the latching once again.
Fig. 12: restarting the process by resetting the stop push button
There is another way to perform latching of the output. The set instruction can be used to set the output to run until a reset command is met to reset the output. This is a piece of cake to latch an output by employing set and reset instructions. Let’s practice this way in the simulator. Figure 13 shows a simple ladder logic program that uses set and reset instructions to perform latching of the output. Input push-button input A is used to set the output while input push-button input B is used to reset the latch of the output.
Fig. 13: latching using set and reset technique
By hitting the input at I0.0 which is input A, the output is set to true. The question is what happens when input A becomes false?
Fig. 14: set to enable latching the output
Figure 15 answers our wondering that, even after input becomes false the output keeps energized thanks to using a set instruction. So when will see the output turns out to be false?
Fig. 15: the output keep set true even after input becomes false
After setting the output to true, it won’t become false until a reset command is used like in the example shown in fig. 16. The output is reset by input B and becomes a false state.
Fig. 16: reset to end the latching
I really would like to thank you guys so much to follow our tutorial till this point and I hope you have become well known for latching concepts, and how to use and utilize them to solve a real problem in real industrial life. Now let’s continue our series, learn and enjoy practicing ladder logic programming series. Our next station will be the comparator operators including equal, not equal, greater than, equal, less than, et cetera. And how to master using this operator to compare different data types and control the logic of a ladder logic program based on the results of these comparator operators.
Over the past century, dental care has remained a relatively rigid area of healthcare. However, the accelerated digitization of the past two decades has seen the sector rapidly adopt mainstream technologies, with the advancement taking a seemingly steeper trajectory by the day. We looked at some of the new technologies making their way into dentistry and came up with this list of what we reckon will rock the world of dental care for years to come:
3D printing is getting deeper and deeper into medicine. Many companies use 3D printing machines to create prosthetics to replace missing body parts. Although subtractive manufacturing still heavily dominates dentistry, the general projection is that 3D printing will eventually take over.
Orthodontics, for instance, is already making use of 3D printers and has ClearCorrect and Invisalign as two of its most successful projects. Currently, it’s even possible for a standalone doctor or practice to obtain a 3D printer for orthodontics and design devices and prosthetics in the comfort of their office.
A couple of years ago, the FDA approved the use of robotics for dental implant surgeries. While the technology hasn’t hit the ground running, it has shown that robotizing dental surgeries are a viable idea. Robots could eventually be used to create full-on automated systems for single crowns, or microrobots could be employed in minimally invasive procedures with minimal human assistance.
The objective of ultrasound technology in dental care is to create radiation-free imaging of dental parts. It could offer a much-needed alternative to the 2D and 3D options currently available.
New breakthroughs show glimpses of what we can expect in the foreseeable future. The 3D ultrasound solution commonly used in hospitals for fetal imaging shows that we are making headway in the right direction. If that progress continues, it wouldn’t be a surprise to witness ultrasound becoming the standard approach to jaw and teeth imaging, caries detection, digital impressions, and more.
Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, teledentistry has become common. Patients are embracing it with its flaws, and dental practices seem to be in a competition over who has the best equipment for virtual dentistry. There is little doubt that technology will outlive the pandemic. However, it remains to be seen how much more dentists can exploit the technology to improve dental care and cut back on operational costs.
Traditionally, dentures took time to create. Dentists had to take impressions of the patient’s teeth alignment, create a design of the denture, and send the design to a lab for fabrication. It would then take another few weeks for the denture to be prepared and sent back to the dentist. Now, thanks to computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing, dental technicians can design and fabricate dentures right in their offices and in a fraction of the time.
Virtual reality training is already established in other industries, and it could be the next big thing in dentistry. Instead of using PowerPoint presentations and other conventional training methods, dentists could use VR headsets to learn detailed procedures while experiencing surreal, close-up views of the oral parts being studied. Hygienists and other professionals could also use VR systems to experiment with various ergonomic techniques and hone their skills in the absence of an actual patient.
Already a reality in some fields, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are yet to leave a mark in dentistry. This is mostly because they go hand in hand with automation, which is still a distant thought in health care.
However, outside procedural application, AI can be used to study data, develop patterns, and provide dental care professionals with analyses to infer from. It can go as far as suggesting treatment options, predicting oral health issues, and identifying scenarios where planned medication, procedures, and underlying conditions are likely to clash. With regards to direct involvement in medical procedures, our hopes are hinged on the prospect of robotics eventually taking over surgical operations.
Augmented reality is less popular than its sister virtual reality, although its applications in dentistry may be more straightforward. The technology is already being used by cosmetic dentists to provide a simulated view of the expected post-procedural results before the procedure is done. It helps clients get a picture of how they will look afterward, allowing them to reconsider their decision or ask for adjustments.
There is a good chance you will need a denture or tooth implant at some point in your lifetime. Regenerative dentistry is a new form of dental care that looks to give you a different, minimally invasive way to fix your smile. The field proposes biological therapy and self-healing options for damaged teeth in place of a restorative procedure.
Researchers from Harvard University and the University of Nottingham are looking into the possibility of promoting the growth of dentin using stem cells. The cells will basically restore the structural makeup of the damaged tooth and the periodontal tissues around it, taking away the need for conventional invasive treatments such as dental implants and root canals.
CRISPR is mostly mentioned in gene editing and cancer treatment conversations, never in oral disorders. There are ongoing studies looking into the potential of using the tool to do away with hereditary oral cancer and plaque formation. The studies are still in their early stages, meaning there isn’t much substance to brandish. However, there is high optimism among researchers and dental care professionals that the technology has a lot in store for dentistry and will change the game once commercially available.
Dating back to 7000 BC, dentistry is one of the earliest known medical professions, so whatever you see now is the work of about nine millennia. The coming century promises to outstrip all that effort several times over and modernize the industry, and with the above technologies already taking shape at a rapid rate, it is clear we are witnessing a revolution.
The second most important milestone was achieved with the invention of steam engines. Vehicles now can be driven automatically. Followed by steam engines invention of the Internal Combustion engine happened. These engines are used to convert potential energy in the form of water/heat or petrol into mechanical energy which is then transferred to wheels to move vehicles faster. In recent times there is an increased demand for vehicle safety, environmental concerns and intelligent control. Software were also introduced into vehicles to control mechanical aspects more accurately, and Electrical engines are invented to address environmental concerns. Even though we have come across a long way of invention but still there is plenty of room available for improvement as new challenges are coming across. Therefore, it is essential to understand what the vehicle is constituted of and how it will behave provided different scenarios in the outer environment.
Analysis of Vehicle dynamic response requires implementing vehicles' different subsystems in the form of mathematical representation to understand different forces acting on vehicles. As these mathematical representations are quite complex, we need a tool where we can implement these equations easily and simulate them in a faster way. There are different simulators available that can help us to achieve the same.
Along with the above benefits, MATLAB also has advanced toolboxes to understand this topic in further details.
Keywords: Vehicle Dynamics, state space, Bicycle Model, Ackerman’s criteria, OEM, ADAS, Understeer gradient.
Knowledge of vehicle dynamics is helpful to peruse a carrier in the tire, suspension, braking and transmission design. In the Automotive industry to develop ADAS applications. For example, Lane Keep Assist, Lane centering, Automatic cruise control and many more. So Engineering students from Computer science, electronics/electrical and mechanical branch & all those who are enthusiastic about the automotive industry can take this course.
Along with basic scripting knowledge of MATLAB and Simulink, introductory knowledge of linear algebra and planar geometry will be required to understand the topics throughout. Understanding and state space representation of equations will be described while discussing the demo for each subsystem.
We will start our first lesson by identifying the most important aspects which contribute to vehicles' behavior when it’s on the move. The below section will provide more regarding them. Before explaining the subsystems of vehicles, let us understand a few terminologies involved in vehicles' motion.
Since vehicles can travel either to the left or to the right study of motion along the Z-axis is not required to consider.
To simplify the mathematical models involved and describe concepts in their simplistic form we will focus on subsystems that are applicable to both commercial and passenger vehicles. From a broader perspective, the performance of a vehicle can be affected due to 7 different subsystems,
Figure 1: Vehicle Dynamics Subsystems
To understand the need for lateral dynamics let us take an example, that car is traveling on a circular road.
The force vector shown on the line of the circle can be separated into two components, one component normal to X-Axis and another along the X-axis. The amount of force along the X-axis will be responsible to pull the vehicle towards the center of the circle. Because of which driver will feel that vehicle is going outside of the road. This phenomenon was first observed in the 17th century and a study for Vehicles traveling on the circular road with constant velocity and constant steering was started. To prevent the vehicle from going out of the road, an equal amount of force is needed which will push the vehicle outwards, called centrifugal force.
This behavior in which it appears like the vehicle is going to leave the road due to less steering is called understeering. In a similar way, the oversteering phenomenon can be observed. The output of the lateral or steering subsystem decides how the vehicle will behave in the lateral direction, while in motion. The lateral dynamics of vehicles can be studied by building a kinematic model, by building meaning implementing geometric equations in MATLAB. To understand these kinematic equations we will be referring to planar geometry, where we consider vehicle motion in the (X, Y) axis.
Even if take passenger vehicle, which has 4 wheels, components involved in modeling 4 wheels are complex as the four different delta angles of wheels and their dimensions will have an impact.
Figure 2: Ackerman Criteria for Steering Angle
So, to make the initial study simpler we will make a few assumptions.
With this assumption, we can combine the left and right parts and consider that the vehicle has only two wheels one on the front side and another at the back.
This model is called a bicycle model as it looks like a bicycle. And as we can observe the complexity involved in the model is also reduced. The bicycle model has a “Two” degree of freedom (Y, ?). Where theta being angle with respect to Y-axis or Yaw of vehicle.
The assumption involved mainly considering both left-hand and right-hand side wheel takes same steering angle, hence represented with a single wheel. However, the steering angle provided to left- and right-hand side wheels are slightly different due to the radius they must cover.
As seen in the image, R corresponds to the radius to be covered resulting in the wheel angle delta provided using steering. Ackerman’s equations will help in analyzing scripted bicycle models on different curvatures. And length “a” is the length of the shaft from the center of gravity to the front wheel. “b” is the length of the driving shaft from the center of gravity to the rear wheel.
Just now we had introduced a subsystem of vehicles that affects the behavior of vehicles during lateral motion. Our second subsystem contributes in the longitudinal direction. As shown above, the longitudinal subsystem is made up of 3 parts.
The torque output performance of the engine can be studied using parameterized models and maps of thrust to exhaust for every paddle position on the accelerator proposed as outputs.
The engine serves as a vehicle's power source. Understanding of engine characteristics is tightly coupled with the transmission. In layman’s term engines are characterized by power it provides generated torque at different speed or throttle/accelerator position.
Torque= Generated power X Speed of vehicle
Also, to determine acceleration performance it is important to analyze the power/weight ratio of vehicles. Which can be determined by using Newton’s second law of motion. We shall study braking performance implementing the same law of motion.
Since vehicles may travel on a surface which is having a certain amount of slope. It is very important to ensure that the maximum amount of torque produced by the vehicle is transferred to the wheels. Gears were invented to satisfy this need. These parts having teeth are used to convert the rotational motion of the shaft to a translational one so that it can be provided to wheels. Gears are also used to change the direction of power distribution, which helps in driving a vehicle in the reverse direction.
Above are a couple of examples to understand the importance of transmission to move vehicles in the longitudinal direction. Now let us consider a case, where while traveling in turn vehicle’s outer wheel shall move faster than the inner wheel. It is because the outer wheel needs to travel more distance than the inner wheel as the radius of the curve is different.
To satisfy this constraint differential torque distribution is used by the Transmission unit. We will study how gears help in providing different torque to wheels on each side to meet this demand. This differential torque distribution can be demonstrated using the Simulink Simscape product from the MATLAB family of work products. The image is shown here, enlists a few block sets involved in modeling.
Figure 3: Simscape/Fundamental Blockset
As the basic requirements are satisfied with lateral and longitudinal dynamics. The third subsystem focuses on the comfort provided to passengers while moving. Vehicle suspension functionality is to support the body of the vehicle over its chassis. In mechanical terms suspension of a vehicle helps in defining vehicle Ride, Roll and handling. The vehicle is categorized as good or bad comfort based on two aspects. How easy the vehicle is to steer; does it provide a comfortable acceleration and braking experience to the driver.
For example, consider the vehicle is traveling at a speed of 100kph speed. And the driver applies the brake. Now due to inertia, if the vehicle stops very aggressively then it might give an uncomfortable experience to passengers sitting inside, meanwhile, it is also important to stop the vehicle at a minimum distance as possible.
To increase rolling capacity one of the mechanical methods used is “Anti Roll Bar”.
Steering Step Response or vehicle Cornering test is used where the vehicle is driven at different high speeds and the steering wheel is rotated suddenly in one direction to check if the vehicle left the ground.
This series will focus on modeling active and passive suspension models and their differences.
Newton's first law states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force. And as tires are the point of contact to this physical world, we shall study all resultant forces acting on tires, as they will contribute the most in the direction of motion of the vehicle. Study of tire model includes,
Tires face friction with the road. And as the tire pressure inside it is not uniformly distributed, the displacement of each tire shall differ under similar circumstances. Tire modeling simply corresponds to an in-depth study of lateral and longitudinal forces acting upon the wheel when the vehicle is on move.
Parameters such as tire width, thread design, vehicle load on the tire define how tire behavior will be. One such parament thread design and its effect are explained below. Lateral Displacement:
Due to this behavior of pressure inside of the tire and its threaded manufacturing, the tire builds up with lateral force tire heads in an angle different than the angle at which the vehicle is leading. This difference in angle is called “Slip Angle”. This slip angle is shown as alpha in the image above.
A good chassis design contributes to vehicles safety by absorbing forces during accidents. It is very important that drivers or passengers’ compartments in vehicles shall stay intent during the crash to protect them. Although from a manufacturing perspective there can be more aspects to look after, here in the study of dynamics, we enlist a few parameters of the vehicle which are defined by vehicle chassis.
Vehicle Length, vehicle width, front overhang, rear overhang, Front and rear axle center, the mass of vehicle etc. Front Over Hand is a distance from the front axle center to the front tip of the vehicle and the same for the rear overhand on the rear side.
Figure 4: Vehicle Parameters for Dynamic Modelling
To analyze the effects of different forces on vehicles on the move it is important to understand the road model. In newtons words, the road model represents forces that the vehicle shall come across to move forward with the desired speed. These forces can be classified as
Therefore, Force produced by transmission of vehicle > Air drag + Friction force for the vehicle to move in the forward direction. In upcoming blogs, we can model the road dynamics and determine the amount of acceleration required scripting these equations in MATLAB.
Figure 5: Different Road Surfaces
To conclude our analysis we continue programming these subsystems in MATLAB, we also need to verify the results we obtain to confirm the model efficiency and our understanding including assumptions we will make. As these prepared dynamics models fall into two categories,
To validate mathematical representations writing a script to control the input variables such as desired vehicle speed or curvature will help. The flow of calling “.m” files is mentioned below:
Understanding and design of vehicle model help in verification if the algorithm follows the kinematics constraint in order to make the driving experience safer and comfortable.
The second approach, the Simulink models can be validated using different inputs. One such example is to use different drive cycles to analyze the behavior of vehicles. Drive cycles contain different velocity points with respect to time. If the velocity change with respect to time is called “Modal Drive cycles”. We can conclude our analysis by observing the model’s response to these drive cycles.
Hi friends, how are you doing? Today will integrate all of what we have learned so far in this series to build the first project based on ladder logic programming. Because we all are interested in industry, we pick one industrial project, Bottle Filling and Capping Projects, which is very common today. The problem we are going to solve today is bottle filling and capping. We have learned all basics of ladder logic including contacts and coils operation, logic gates, rising and falling edges, timers, and counters. So, today we will utilize all of these components to implement a complete ladder program of filling and capping problems.
For simplifying the operation of the process of filling and capping, fig. 1 shows the process flow which simply contains the main motor that drives the conveyor belt on which the bottles are running starting by hitting the start button. The conveyor belt starts running driven by motor M1 and the bottles move until sensor S2 detects one bottle, then motor M1 stops and the belt does so. At the same time, valve V1 opens to let water get dropped into the bottle until it reaches specific level thanks to level sensor S1. Then valve V1 closes and motor M1 goes on moving. Then when sensor S3 sees a bottle, the piston P1 is activated for capping the bottle and so on.
Fig. 1. The Filling and Capping Process
As you can see, for every single process in the industry, there are inputs and outputs. The inputs represent the sensors and user requests like starting and stopping the process. While the outputs are represented by actuators like motors, valves, and pistons. Table 1 lists the inputs and outputs of the filling and capping process. It shows the process consists of four inputs and three outputs including the function and description of each item.
Table 1: The list of Inputs and outputs of the Process
Before going to ladder programming, we should design the logic of the operation to build guidelines on which we can develop the ladder logic. According to the operation description we stated aforementioned above, we can express the logic in lines as follows:
As you see in these few lines, we just wrote the philosophy of the filling and capping process’s logic. And the process keeps repeating until user requests stop. So now let’s move to convert this written logic into ladder logic rungs and enjoy for sure simulating the process in our lab to verify the logic we designed is correct or we need to amend.
Before getting starting the filling and capping programming, we need to design the list of inputs and outputs of the program and their initial states. Table 2 shows a list of the inputs and outputs with their addresses and initial states.
Table 2: The Inputs and Outputs list with Addresses and Initial States
Figure 2 shows the first network in the designed ladder program. My friends, do not feel it a complicated because the fact is that, it is really simple. First of all, the start button to run the conveyor belt motor coil and latching is considered for letting the belt resumes running even after releasing the start button. Also, you should ask yourself during design two questions. The first is when the motor of the conveyor belt will be running and when to stop it? The answer to these two questions will end up with completing this network. For instance, the first question which inquiries about when to start the conveyor belt can show that the belt should be running by hitting the start push button to represent the request of the user to run the process. But, while the filling process is in progress marked by the activation of sensor S2, the conveyor should stop waiting for the filling process to complete by closing the valve when reaching the filling level limit noted by sensor S1. So, closing the valve is another signal that starts the conveyor once again. On the other hand, the conveyor belt should stop when the stop is requested by the operator in addition to sensor S2 that indicates a presence of a bottle in the filling station. So, you can notice two parallel branches to run the conveyor belt, one by start push button and one for latching. In addition, another parallel branch is added to run the belt by showing the completion of the filling process thanks to the signals of valve V1 status.
Fig. 2: Ladder Logic Network 1
Now, let’s have a look at the valve and ask ourselves the same question as what we have done with the motor of the conveyor belt (M1). what makes the valve V1 get closed and what causes it to open? For those causes to open the valve are the signal of sensor S1 that tells the bottle that is being filled is already filled and all set to move to cap station in addition to the latching consideration. So, we have two parallel branches, one branch for the sensor S1 and the other one from the valve status contact for latching. Those parrel branches connected in series to show “AND” logic with the sensor S2 to make sure of the presence of a bottle in the filling station. On the other hand, the stop push button represents an ending request received at any time from the user to close the valve.
Fig. 3: Ladder logic network 2
Now, the process goes on and the bottle has just left the filling station and has reached to capping station. That has been recognized thanks to sensor S3 that detects a bottle that has just arrived at the capping station. As a result, the piston should be activated. Firstly, a timer has been utilized to let the piston activated for some amount of time that is enough to let the capping process be comfortably completed. So, in-network 3 shown in fig. 4, a timer which is of off-delay type is utilized to activate the capping piston for plenty of time to let the capping process be completed as shown in fig. 5.
Fig. 4: Ladder Logic Network 3
Fig. 5: Ladder Logic Network 4
And finally, in-network 5 shown in fig.6, the falling edge signal of the piston denotes the completion of the capping process. So, a counter which is of type count-up timer is triggered to count up to determine the number of the processed bottle so far. The preset value has been set to a specific value i.e. 100 which can be used to perform maintenance or end a batch process for 100 bottles to be filled and capped.
Fig. 6: Ladder Logic Network 5
After translating the writing logic to a ladder program that is composed of a couple of rungs, the second compulsory step is to verify the syntax of the ladder program and make sure that the program is free of error. So, we show you in fig. 7 the compilation results to show there is no error with the written code so far. By doing this verification, we are all set now to upload the program to the controller and check the logic and operations.
Fig. 7: Compiling the Designed Ladder Logic Program
It is time to go to our lab and open the simulator to check the design and written ladder code. Figure 8 shows the initial state of the program before starting the process. It is clear that the conveyor belt is stopped and the status of all sensors, pushbuttons, actuators are as their aforementioned initial states.
Fig. 8: Initial State of the Inputs and Outputs Before Starting the Process
Now, let’s hit the start push button to start the process and watch what is going on. Figure 9 shows good news!!! By hitting the start button, the process correctly started and the motor M1 that drives the conveyor belt starts spinning. But, how about checking to release the start pushbutton by leaving our hand to see what’s going on?
Fig. 9: The status After Hitting Start the Process
WoW!!, well done, latching is working as shown in fig. 10 as the conveyor continues spinning even after releasing the start button thanks to applying the latching technique.
Fig. 10: Conveyor Still Running Even after Release start Push Button Thanks to Latching
Once a bottle is presented at the filling station, sensor S2 is activated. Consequently, the conveyor stops waiting for the filling process to complete. But, when does the filling process ended and how to know it’s done already to go further?
Fig. 11: Conveyor Stops when a Bottle Presents at S2 for Filling
Well! Sensor S1 is there to watch the level to which the liquid reaches in the bottle that is being filled. Once the limit is reached, sensor S1 is activated telling hey here we go, the filling process is over and now we ready to go further to the next step which is the capping station as shown in fig. 12.
Fig. 12: The Valve is Closed by reaching the Limit Level and S1 is ON
Because the valve is closed after the filling limit is reached, the conveyor continues spinning and sensor S2 is deactivated showing the bottle has been filled and left the filling station. However, the conveyor belt keeps running thanks to the latch again as shown in Fig. 12.
Fig. 13: The Conveyor belt Goes Running by Closing The Valve V1
Let’s now my friends check what’s happening by reaching the capping station? Astonishing !!! as we put there our agent to tell us a bottle has arrived for capping which is sensor S3, once that happened, sensor S3 is activated and hence activates the piston to retract and keep retracted for a sufficient amount of time to let the capping process be completed thanks to using a timer of type off-delay timer. So first fig. 14 shows in network number 3, the timer is activated and starts counting the time that is preset to 2 seconds and in the same time activates the piston to keep retracted during that time based on the nature of operation of an off-delay timer.
Fig. 14: The Piston is Activated by Reaching at Capping station When S3 is ON
And finally, the counter is utilized to count the processed bottles which are triggered by the falling edge of the piston denoting completion of a filling and capping process.

In this step-by-step guide, we’ll look at all aspects of hiring Flutter app developers for your business, including interviewing, do’s and don’ts, and the pros and cons of using the Flutter UI.
Before you start the recruitment process, in order to hire Flutter developers for the first time, you need to carefully consider all the pros and cons. It’s always tempting to go straight to the latest technology and assume it’s the best way forward, but you never know what’s around the corner in the IT world. Before you commit to a new language or tech stack, you should think about your goals and the apps you would like to build in the future. Evaluate the pros and cons of Flutter before you dive in and hire a Flutter developer.
Flutter’s main benefit is its speed to market. You can build multiple apps across multiple platforms (like desktop, mobile, and web) at the same time, which cuts development and testing. Apps built on Flutter are extremely user-friendly and intuitive, allowing you to add fine details and attractive interfaces that give you a real branding edge over your competition. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t any disadvantages. Flutter is very new and still evolving. If you hire Flutter app developers, chances are they haven’t had the years of experience you may need to really realize the full potential of your project. If you can’t find a very experienced team, you either have to contend with developers learning on your dime, or you may have to opt for a more stable and mature platform.
You’ve made the decision to hire Flutter developer. Now you need to figure out where you are going to find them. You can either put out a vacancy on LinkedIn, Marketplace or conventional job boards or hire workers on a contract basis. Again, whichever approach you choose will come with its own advantages and disadvantages.
If you have the time, looking for Flutter developers yourself can be rewarding. You can spend some time on forums and blogs or sites like Quora and Reddit to build up relationships and curate referrals, or just put a vacancy up on a job board and wait for the applications to roll in. Unfortunately, this approach can take months to complete. You’ll have to find the candidates, interview them, and onboard them. You can use a formal recruitment agency, but that’s a very expensive option and really not feasible for a start-up.
Most companies end up using freelancers or offshore agencies. Sites like Upwork or Fiverr will put you in touch with developers right away. They may be a little pricier than hiring someone via an offshore agency, and they may not be available to you exclusively, so bear that in mind. On the other hand, they will have experience working with a variety of clients. That means that they’ve learned a lot of lessons and gained a lot of experience.
Offshore agencies are a great way of finding skilled developers. This involves engaging with a trusted agency in a country like Ukraine to find talented Flutter developers for your project. It’s much cheaper and faster than doing the hiring on your own.
Before even considering someone’s application, you have to know the technical skills required from a good Flutter developer. Look for candidates with solid knowledge of native programming languages, particularly for Android app development. This includes Java, C, C#, Lua, Kotlin, and others. You should also pay close attention to their seniority. Flutter is easy to learn, but you will need a few senior developers along with the juniors if you want to launch your app quickly. Candidates should understand and have a good working knowledge of Git, GoF patterns, SQL, and how the software development life cycle works.
Make sure that at least some of your developers have worked on apps similar to the one you’d like to build or within the industry that you are targeting. It’ll shorten the learning curve for everyone (and might lead to some key discoveries and innovations).
Once you’ve found your candidates, you should put them to the test. You can provide them with a few coding challenges and ask them questions about their experience and approach. Don’t just focus on their technical capabilities. It’s a good idea to ask about their style of working and personality, too. You want to make sure that your new hires can fit in with your existing team and company culture.
A few good questions to ask could include:
Once you’ve picked your top candidates, always make sure to double-check their references. It’s always a good idea to give their previous employers a call.
Large enterprises and Silicon Valley-based tech companies are all turning to Flutter these days. Finding good Flutter developers for hire isn’t easy, but it’s a surefire way to ensure that your apps are built quickly and effectively. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll soon have your own team assembled.
Plastic injection molding involves exposing plastic pellets to extreme temperatures to melt and become malleable. Afterward, manufacturers inject the melted plastic into a mold cavity so that upon cooling, the plastic adopts a specific shape producing the final product.
The versatility of the process makes plastic injection molding a highly beneficial method of producing plastic parts. It's similar to steel forging, finer grains are molded making the final product much stronger. If you decide to go for the plastic injection molding method of creating plastic parts, you will realize the reliability and simplicity that the technique provides. Here are some of the significant benefits of plastic injection molding to consider:
If you are looking for a way to produce plastic parts faster, plastic injection molding is your technique. This method of producing plastic parts offers high production output rates, making the process efficient and cost-effective. Many factors like the complexity and size of the mold will influence the speed at which you produce the final result.
However, cycle times remain tight, with the longest being two minutes, more than enough time to make more significant quantities of mold. Plastic injection molding is the best way to increase your profit margins. All you need to do is to leverage the short period between cycles that offer quick turn injection molding to produce more products for the market.
One of the things manufacturers seek when looking for a production method is handling complex part design and making precise replicas. The best way to ensure efficacy is to hire qualified designers to develop the right design that will maximize efficiency. Not all plans are immune to processing mistakes.
High-volume injection molding can help optimize efficiency in the process, but you will still need a good design that your machines can produce consistently. If you are a manufacturing manager, take time to learn about the fundamental design elements like wall thickness and rib design to ensure the injection process runs smoothly.
Before you begin the plastic injection molding process, you need to understand the flexibility and rigidity that the final product needs. Afterward, you can design a plastic part with appropriate integrating ribs or gussets that will offer the right strength to the final product.
Another essential factor in helping you determine how much strength and stability you need to incorporate into the plastic part is how the customer intends to use the product. It would be wise to carefully select suitable materials for your final product, especially considering its exposure to specific external environments.
One of the most incredible things about plastic injection molding is that manufacturers do not limit themselves to specific materials or colors. Although material and color are critical components influencing plastic parts creation, the possibilities are endless. If you want the best out of your injection molder, choose the one that can handle a wide variety of resin.
Some things to consider when choosing a plastic injection molder are water absorption, impact and tensile strength. Moreover, there are various coloring systems for plastics. Consider each coloring system's unique benefits, properties, and drawbacks before settling on one.
Manufacturers must comply with a company's green initiative. The production process should accommodate sustainability and safety while still preserving quality. It is not uncommon to generate excess plastic during the production process.
The wise thing to do would be to implement a circular economy model by finding another company, a recycling company, to help manage the excess plastic. Alternatively, manufacturing managers should have effective machinery to minimize waste.
Plastic injection molding offers high output rates. This advantage, coupled with the high-level production of plastic parts, contributes towards cost savings and effectiveness. Moreover, the entire process usually requires minimal supervision because molding equipment typically has automatic tools that ensure streamlined operations.
The final result of the plastic injection molding process is high-quality plastic parts that enhance customer satisfaction. The low labor costs enable manufacturers to enjoy high-profit margins.
If you are seeking a way to make high-quality plastic parts, purchase computerized and automated plastic injection machinery to enjoy the manufacturing advantages of this production method.
The usage of 3D printing has received a lot of attention, but what exactly is FDM 3D printing or FFF 3D printing? FDM 3D printing is used in a variety of sectors. Automobiles and a broad range of consumer products makers are among the industries. They use FDM to aid with product design, prototyping, and manufacturing. Some product companies employ FDM 3D printing since the thermoplastic utilized during creation is ideal for children's toys to sports gear.
FDM, as previously said, is among the most democratized 3D printing services, enabling hobbyists and amateurs to produce new goods quickly. They can quickly develop, iterate, revise, and print parts that meet their specifications.
The gifting business is also adopting 3D printing technology to make present products, riding the wave of customization. FDM 3D printing technology is ideal for gifting since it provides dimensionally correct, durable, and cost-effective options.
Furthermore, FDM 3D printed parts can be post-processed in various ways, allowing for the creation of visually pleasing goods.
It's a widespread misperception that FDM 3D printing can only be used to make gift items and prototypes. FDM is well-known for producing durable and valuable items that may be put in end-use applications.
Manufacturing 3D printers can generate end-user application components in aerospace, automobiles, production, and healthcare implementations.
FDM 3D printing innovation has aided many physicians worldwide in better planning surgeries by supplying them with organs that are an identical reproduction of the patient in question. They have a precise structure, may be made hollow or solid depending on the requirements, and can be printed in a matter of hours.
This has enhanced surgical preparation and quality, decreased surgery duration, and even helped patients have a more significant operation encounter.
This is one of the initial examples of FDM printing in action. It is well known that 3D printing was developed to produce prototypes fast, and as a result, 3D printing was dubbed Rapid Prototyping for a long time.
Because FDM printing can manufacture incredibly intricate items, it's an excellent alternative for companies that have to produce parts that must be fit and form checked.
As a result, prototyping remains one of the most common applications of FDM technology. FDM provides a simple, cost-effective, and rapid way to create prototypes.
Architectural prototypes of housing projects, power stations, arenas, and other structures were once created using various materials such as wood, polystyrene, acrylic, and other similar materials. In addition to the considerable production lead time, these were not only more expensive to produce but also more cumbersome to move.
Architectural models may now be quickly manufactured, carried in parts, and assembled on-site thanks to the advent of FDM 3D printing technology. They also have a strong resemblance to the original design.
Because of its ease of use and low cost, this additive manufacturing process is quite prevalent among businesses. Fused deposit modeling is a lifesaver for beginners, aspiring engineers, and bootstrapped firm owners.
Figuring out what to do can become even more overwhelming when you start asking whether you need a custom-made solution or you can purchase one off the shelf, if you need to simply upgrade a system or if an entire overhaul is necessary, and how much can be done in-house. You can find yourself lost in the details before you have even had a chance to really examine the big picture. However, the good news is that there is still a process you can follow even when the situation is a complex one. Consider the points below as you move forward.
Do you know what your problem is? Before you say yes, think carefully. It is not uncommon to confuse symptoms with the cause. It may be worthwhile to talk to others within your organization to make sure that you are correctly identifying the issue. If the issue is one that affects your customers, you may want to get some feedback from them.
You might be struggling with meeting compliance standards when it comes to dealing with refrigerated assets. You might assume that the issue is with some of your staff or with how these assets are handled. This could cause you to overlook the fact that reliable refrigeration monitoring systems are what you need. Reefer monitoring solutions are cost-effective, but you might need to dig to the root of your problem to identify them as the answer. Of course, there are a few additional steps you should also go through from examining the impact on employees to choosing the tech solution.
If your employees are affected by the change you're making and they are resistant to that change, you need to figure out why. It could be because there is something that you are unaware of in their processes that will be negatively affected. It might be because they have higher priority issues that they want you to address or because they have a different perspective on what the solution should be, which is one reason why you should seek feedback widely in the planning stages.
On the other hand, if the change is necessary, you will need to get them on board. This can be tricky because while there may be an overall advantage to the company, their own processes might become more cumbersome in certain ways. You will need to find a way to present the change to them that shows how it can benefit them as well. There is also simply the issue of resistance to change that many people have. In this case, they will eventually adjust, but you may need to provide incentives or find another way to balance the inconvenience of a potentially frustrating learning curve. Letting them be part of the discussion and the process can also help prevent the feeling that a top-down decision is being imposed on them.
Your solution needs to be in alignment with your organization's strategic plan over the next few years and your goals. How does it complement the priorities you have set? This can also help you decide whether the problem is something that needs to be addressed immediately or if there are other issues you should be focusing on more instead.
Sometimes, as in the case of compliance issues around refrigerated assets mentioned above, the issue is not one that can be shelved for a later date, but often teams and individuals can find themselves distracted by shiny new tech that can certainly deliver but which may not aid you in meeting your most important benchmarks in the years ahead. Taking all of this into account can also help you narrow down which solution might be the best since some may be better at aligning with your medium-term aims than others.
Planning can help you avoid some of the pitfalls described above. Is it true in other areas of life, like preventing your car from theft and putting identification on your pets’ tags in case they run off, planning does not prevent problems, but it can make them more manageable. There should be two aspects to this plan for finding tech solutions for your business.
First, if you develop a kind of blueprint for implementation, you can see how the tech fits into the overall operation, including existing systems and processes. Like a good business plan, this can also highlight gaps in your thinking and anything else you may have overlooked. The other aspect of the plan is articulating criteria that will tell you whether the solution was the right one. This criterion should be as specific and measurable as possible in the same way that a goal should be. In fact, once you have established it, you can use it to work backward and see if what you have chosen is likely to deliver the necessary results.
When you start to look at the actual tech, there are a number of things you should consider before you make your decision. To start with, look for something that is scalable so that it can grow with your business. You should also look for an effective user interface. Look at how adaptable and customizable it is. Consider as well what kind of balance you want between accessibility and security. It may be important that employees can access a platform from anywhere.
However, you also need to make sure that any important data is protected. Be sure that you consider how much training will be necessary. Even if your employees are enthusiastic about the new tech, if learning how to use it is going to be very costly in terms of time and money, you may want to consider another option. Another thing to look at is how much support you will get with the transition, installation, updates and any troubleshooting. In all of these areas, see what experiences others report as well. You may not be an early adopter, but the advantage of this is that you can be more certain that the tech you have chosen is stable and reliable.
