My graduation theses is focused on project of algorithm proceedings laboratorial model of a lift and visualization in computer program Factory Talk View Studio. In introduction is written about industrial comunication network AS-Interface and in practise used algorithm proceedings of a lift. In following capitol is described system and several parts of laboratorial model of a lift. Not least is solved also comunication among floors of a lift, cabin and master AS-Interface and project of functional block in computer program RSLogix 5000. General purpose of master’s theses is project algorithm proceedings of a lift which use double-sided collecting proceedings. In last chapter is noticed project of visualization, which control a lift.

Detta arbete har syftat till att ställa två av de större automationstillverkarna Siemens och Rockwell Automation mot varandra kring utvalda faktorer som: prestanda, kommunikation och tillgängliga mjukvaruverktyg. Studien har utformat tester på olika PLC-enheter från respektive tillverkare, redogjort för skillnader i de erbjudna kommunikationslösningarna samt analyserat mjukvaruverktygen utifrån utvalda egenskaper men också internationellt erkända standarder. Undersökningen har visat på bättre prestanda på processorer från Rockwell Automation än motsvarande från Siemens för ett givet tillämpningsområde. Vad befattar kommunikationslösningar med ethernet-teknologi har Siemens visat på bättre prestanda, stabilare kommunikation och ett mer komplett ekosystem som svarar på flera av de behov som kan uppstå i industriverksamhet. Mjukvaruverktygen från Siemens erbjuder mer objekt-orienterad funktionalitet och har visat sig betydligt mer kompatibel med den väletablerade standarden IEC 61131-3 som utformar programmeringsmetodiker för PLC-enheter och är tänkt att svara mot framtidens behov av interoperabilitet och effektivisering. Av resultaten som fåtts har en bedömning gjorts att Siemens erbjuder ett mer fördelaktigt utbud av produkter och tjänster som svarar väl mot framtidens krav. / This paper treats two competing suppliers of automation technology, Siemens and Rockwell Automation and directly compares them for a given set of factors in the following categories: performance, communication and software tools. The study consists of performance tests made on different PLC’s from these suppliers, considerations in the differences of communication technology and analysis of the programming tools according to chosen criteria’s but also by the degree of compliance with internationally established standards. The tests have shown the PLC from Rockwell Automation as having better performance for the chosen criteria (PLC’s for small to medium sized machines). Siemens offers more performance and more stable industrial ethernet communication over ProfiNET than does Rockwell Automation with EtherNet/IP. Accordingly, Siemens offers more flexibility in meeting future industrial needs. The software tools provided by Siemens offer a more object-oriented approach for programming PLC’s than equivalent tools from Rockwell Automation. TIA Portal offered by Siemens is more than twice as compliant with the internationally accepted standard IEC 61131-3 as Studio 5000 from Rockwell and in being more compliant benefits from increased interoperability and effective programming. The results show that Siemens’ products and services for automation benefits the customer in long term viability.

The goals of this diploma thesis were to get acquainted with the model of the robotic arm Beta 6 from Merkur Company. Next design connections between control board and PLC from Rockwell Automation. Then design and realize Add-On instruction for movement in 3D space with appropriate visualization.

This diploma thesis deals with the realization of a simulator for a trash-rack cleaning machines in small hydroelectric power stations. This thesis contains adequate research about a trash-rack cleaning mashines. This diploma thesis is focused on detailed description of the hardware and software part of the created simulator and describes the realization of a control system, which verified the functionality of the simulator.
