  • System for software PLC implementation for plastic molding machines
    Patent number: 7058475
    Abstract: A system for integrating a software programmable logic controller functions along with the human machine interface functions for plastics molding machines is disclosed. A general purpose computer integrates the programmable logic controller functions of monitoring and controlling input output devices and sensors along with the human machine interface functions of monitoring and presenting the status of the plastics molding to an operator. Through this system, primarily the data latency exhibited between the human machine interface and the programmable logic controller are eliminated, along with the cost of maintenance and upgrade of the machine.
