Abstract

This paper proposes an alternative solution to automate a system called “Drill Station." Our automation proposal focuses on wireless communication between a GUI and a PLC S7-200 CPU 226 from the manufacturer Siemens to achieve remote control and monitoring of the process. In our proposal, the enriched production Grafcets diagrams and the security Grafcet diagrams are used with the transfer-type process forcing order. The process consists of three work areas: loading, drilling, testing, and evacuation of the part. We showed that with the use of Grafcets, it is possible to fully automate the process, considering the various running, operating, and safety modes, to improve the operation, achieve a better understanding of the drive, and facilitate the training of the operators.
