Electrical Design of an Industrial Packaging Machine

Master electrical design of industrial automation systems - packaging machine (wiring diagram and PLC (S7-1200) analysis - I/O signals explanation). 6 lessons in 46m total course length.

Course Description

In this course, we will discuss the Industrial Packaging Machine project. First, we’ll get into the basics, and then with every lesson, we will dig deeper into the project. This course covers the power system, the control system (PLC Siemens S7-1200), and the safety system (SICK Safe EFI-pro System).

We will also explain how the machine is controlled and why we need the input and output signals. By the end of the course, you will understand how to start designing an electrical system for an industrial packaging machine.

In this course, you will:

  1. Learn about the electrical design of an industrial packaging machine.
  2. Learn about a power system on this project.
  3. Learn about a safety system on this project (Sick Safety Controller).
  4. Learn about PLC and I/O signals on this project (Siemens S7-1200).
  5. Learn an example of an automation system for an industrial machine.
  6. See how the cabinet looks like in reality – photos of the electrical cabinet.
  7. Compare detailed design and as-built situation of the cabinet (photos).
