Study on configurable computer-aided turbocharger assemble system to order

Assemble to order is a method to realize the idea of the customization. Under the analysis of the disadvantages of the traditional turbocharger assemble systems, this paper introduces a configurable computer-aided turbocharger assemble system to order. This system proposed uses Siemens S7-200 PLC as controller, and PC Access as OPC Server. Siemens S7-200 PLC can establish different types of turbocharger assemble process control module. PC Access can realize assemble software communication with PLC controller. The computer-aided software is designed under Visual Basic development environment and realizes seamless integration with enterprise management system. The application result indicates that the proposed system can improve the quality and efficiency of turbocharger assemble.
