Understanding the wiring and programming of a labeler application

Aug 13, 2022

Learning about hardware wiring setup for a labeling machine, creating cams for the product and label and programming servomotor and motion control application code for a labeling machine may help for other motion control applications. To speed up the development process, an IEC 61131-3 function block called “labeler” is something users can incorporate into the coding process that improves the ease of use.

Learning Objectives

  • Knowing product data, label data and camming details help with wiring and programming a labeler machine complexity.
  • A function block called a labeler keeps track of four types of data: Product, label, label camera and camera control.
