Heat Treat Batching
« on: April 28, 2014, 08:27:19 PM »
A program for operators to create recipes for heat treating furnaces, these recipes are made in steps and each step has a value, there can be up to 40 steps. Its also stores the recipes to a data base on our server and allows users to print their recipes as well. There is also a lot of code in the background for catching operator mistakes. Such as if any step is heat the value can not be over 2000 degrees, or if carbon potential is above 0.01 the last step before it with a heat instruction must have a value of 1400 degrees or more, and many others as well. That way we don't have a bomb on our hands :p.

This hmi is outside of our furnace room and it talks to 5 of our main heat treating furnaces. Furnace 'A' has a SLC 500, and furnaces 'B' through 'E' are controllogix. It is talking to all of them via Ethernet on our plant network.

Thanks for the great product Archie! Even though I mostly only used the drivers, I'll try to use more of your controls on my next project!
