SCHÖNENBERGER Systeme Ltd manufactures automatic Hanging Transport
Systems for garment sorting. Our job is to develop controlling and
application software for these equipments.
Operating system:
QNX (real-time unix), QNX-Photon
Hardware: IBM-PC (industrial PC)
Programming language: C/C++
Main features of control sofware:
- real-time response in 10ms
- remote maintenance via modem and internet
- multi-language graphical user interfaces
- real-time graphical simulation
- communication with client computer systems
- tolerance against mechanical errors (error handling)
- error analysis, statistics
Graphic User Interface (GUI) supports monitoring of garment flow on the
spot. Error and warning situations appear on system layout and
operators are adviced to react.
GUI can also be used for remote monitoring and maintenance via modem or
internet.
Simulated model of Hanging Transport System
contains equivalents of all mechanical elements: sensors, switches,
motors, caroussels etc. This allows program development and testing
while the mechanical system is still under construction.
