Problem Definition
(Refer to the process schematic to clearly understand the system operation)
Initial Condition
• The pusher, ram and ejector is at the full retract position. (S6, S10 and
S8 are ON)
• The die is empty. (SP is OFF)
• The blank coin is in the magazine. (SX is ON)
Process Sequence
1. In order to activate the system, the user must press the start push
button, S1 and key-in a correct 4 digit pass-code numbers at a
numerical setter as shown in the process schematic diagram which is
connected to port IW2 of the PLC.
2. If all the initial conditions are met and the correct pass-code numbers
are set, the pusher extends (actuated by Y1) which at the same time
pushes a blank coin from the magazine into the die as shown in the
process schematic diagram on page 3.
4. Then the ejector ejects (actuated by Y6) the finished coin from the die
and at the same time the air jet is activated (actuated by Y5) to blow the
coin into the collecting tray.
5. The blown finished coin is detected by light barrier, B1. This is the end of
the first cycle of the process and the next cycle of the process will proceed
as long as the blank coins are in the magazine.
Indicators
1. Lamp H1 indicates the machine is in operation (from start until the end of
the process).
2. Lamp H2 and buzzer, Z actuate during the three seconds duration of the
stamping.

If current is not flowing through the coil, the valve will CLOSE.
If currently is flowing through the coil, the valve will OPEN.
