A color mixing plant is controlled with a SIMATIC S7-300 in the automatic or in the manual mode. In the "Automatic“ mode, the three tanks are filled with a two step control. At the minimum level, the inflow valve opens automatically, and after the maximum level is reached, it is closed again. After the start button is operated, the specified program is executed: first, the outflow valves are opened and the container is filled from tanks with the specified amounts. After the outflow valves are closed, the mixer motor is started. After the mixing time has expired and after a short idle phase, the outflow valve of the container is opened and the finished color mixture is drained. When the container is empty, the lamp of the start button lights up, and a new color mixture can be started.

In the "Manual“ mode, the automatic outflow is canceled, and all valves as well as the mixer motor can be operated manually. The lamps in the buttons for manual operation are lit.

Note

The specified amounts and the time base are determined by the program. If you want another color mixture, the specified amounts and the time base have to be changed, and a new program has to be loaded to the controller.
