Sample Project: Sorting System 04/99
8 Getting Started with C7-621-AS-i
Sample Project: Sorting System
AS-Interface is often used where sensors and actuators are distributed over a fairly large system. The
sample system we have chosen shows a sorting and packing department in a large mail-order company.
Parcels containing mail-order goods are transported to the relevant ejectors on conveyor belts. The
current location of the parcels is recorded via sensors and transmitted to the SIMATIC via AS-i. The PLC
processes this data and controls connected actuators via the AS-Interface. On the basis of the sample
machine, you will learn how to handle the AS-i functions step by step. You will set up an AS-i network,
program a PLC program and learn how to establish the link with the integrated C7 operator panel.
