Bottling Line 2 PLC Controls
Woodbridge Winery
Acampo, CA

Working closely with the plant operators and maintenance personnel, Arthur Engineering designed the complete power distribution, lighting and PLC control system for this bottling line.  This included custom MCC and PLC panel design as well as operator interface and programming.  Integration with machines on the line was included.  The initial control system startup took less than one day.

Arthur Engineering worked closely again with plant personnel to design the complete power distribution, lighting and PLC control system for this area of the winery.  The design incorporated an Allen-Bradley SLC 5/05 processor, remote I/O and Panelview operator interface for this large press and crush area.  The system was designed for future presses, crushers and crush tanks.  The control system is easy to use and maintain, while being expandable for future needs.

Arthur Engineering, working with the owner and Calmetrics, developed the main MCC and control system design for the renovation of the continuous press area.  The area is completely controlled by an Allen-Bradley SLC 5/04 processor and four Panelview color operator interfaces.  Energy usage for the area was reduced by 50% due to the improved controls.  Operator training has been greatly simplified.

In addition to complete power distribution and lighting systems for this unique bottling and barrel storage facility, Arthur Engineering designed the PLC control systems for the bottling and building environmental controls.  The 350 BPM bottling line incorporates custom motor control and a master Allen-Bradley SLC 5/05 controller.  The conveying systems and machines, integrated over various networks for the line, can be easily customized for different bottle types and sizes by simple entry at any of the four graphical operator interfaces along the line.  Downtime tracking is made possible by operator entry of the problem at one of the Panelview interfaces and is tracked/recorded by an Intellution HMI system in the plant managers office. Programming was coordinated with Calmetrics.
