Fisa Reinigungsanlage |

The terminology and definitions introduced below are those used in a Fisa Cleaning Installation.

The Fisa Cleaning Installation (also referred to as Fisa Cleaning Machine or simply Cleaning Line) consists of

- Modules with Basket Positions
- Robot Structure
- Roboter
- Schaltschrank(schränke)
- Körbe See also the following links to other pages:

  The robot that takes the basket from the loading position needs to know the treatment code of the basket. The robot moves the basket through the different cleaning treatments in the Installation. When a Basket is ready, it is released on an unloading Position.

  Module

  A Module consists of a Module Chassis and Basket Positions.

  Korb Positionen

  Basket Positions can be of different types: tanks, blowing units, hot air drying units, vacuum drying units, etc. Eine Korbposition kann ein auch ein Förderwerk oder ein Körbestapel oder einfach eine manuelle Ladenposition für einen Korb sein. Eine Korb-Position kann mit irgend einer Nummer von Zubehör ausgestattet werden.

  Zubehör

  An Accessory is a device, such as an ultrasound transducer, liquid level switch, heating element, pump, buffer tank, filter, electromagnetic valve, agitation device, etc. Some Accessories (eg pump) can be controlled by physical Ausgänge and the status of others (eg presence detector) can be read by physical Eingänge.

  Die Strucktur der Roboter

  The Robot Structure consists of Columns that are fixed to the Module and/or the floor and support the Rails. The Rails support the Robot Trolley and supplies it with electrical power. The Rail also includes a toothed strip into which the Trolley’s horizontal positioning gear assembly runs.

  Fisa Roboter

  The Fisa Robot consists of the Trolley that moves horizontally on the Rail(s). The Trolley has an Arm that moves vertically. Der Arm hat eine Greifer-Funktion, welche einen Korb nimmt oder los läßt. The Gripping Device can be anything from a simple hook to a Rotating Tong.

  The movements and other actions of a Robot are stored as Instructions in the Programmiereinheit.

  Vertical and Horizontal Coordinates are stored in an electronic card inside the Trolley. The manual Control Box is used for positioning the Robot and memorising the coordinates.

  NB! Ein Externer Liftout mounted on a Basket Position is a Fisa Robot lacking the Trolley. Ein externes Liftout bewegt nur vertikal und ist verwendetet um der Roboter für andere produktive Arbeit ablasten, während das liftout des Korbes in dieser Position durchgeführt wird.

  Die Programmiereinheit

  Die Programmiereinheit eines Robots ist eine blaue Metallbox, normalerweise befindlich in dem Schaltschrank/-Kasten It contains the processor, the IO-modules and the memory for storing the Instructions. Die Programmiereinheit kommuniziert mit dem Roboter über IR-Signale.

  The Programming Unit is equipped with an RS-232 serial communications port for transfer of programs to/from a PC.

  When more than one Robot service the Installation, their Programming Units can be linked together with a Master Slave Network in order to exchange information between them.

  The Programming Unit has a non-volatile memory in which the current status of the Installation is stored. Thanks to this, the Robot(s) resume where they were after a power failure on the Installation.

  Inputs and Outputs

  Each Programming Unit contains the I/O module with 16 physical Inputs and Outputs. There are 48 additional virtual Inputs and Outputs in the Programming Unit. For any Robot, these virtual I/O’s can be configured as physical if the Schaltschrank/-Kasten contains External I/O modules.

  External I/O’s become common to those Robots that are configured to use these I/O’s as physical. This makes it possible for any Robot to actuate on a certain Accessory connected to a particular External I/O or to read a particular External Input.

  Das Microterminal

  The Microterminal displays messages and current instruction. It is equipped with Keys for manual editing/listing of programs and Start, Step and Stop buttons.

  Schaltschrank/-Kasten

  The Electrical Cabinet contains the Instruments and controls needed to operate the Installation. Die Programmiereinheit(en) of the Robot(s) are typically built into the Electrical Cabinet(s). Sometimes the Ultrasound Generators are also mounted in the Electrical Cabinet.

  The PC (Personal Computer) for monitoring the production can be built into the Electrical Cabinet or installed as a separate unit.

  Instrumente

  The Instruments mounted in the Electrical Cabinet are Indicators/Regulators for Variables such as Temperature, Pressure, Flow, Concentration, pH, etc.

  Externe I/O Bausteine

  The Electrical Cabinet can also contain up to 6 external I/O modules, each with 8 physical Outputs and Inputs. These modules are installed when more than the 16 Physical Inputs and Outputs for any Robot are required.

  Körbe

  Typically, the Baskets are tailor made for the Parts to be cleaned. Subsequently, the Basket Positions are tailor made to the Baskets.
