NEW CONCEPTS LEARNED

3.1 What is AOI?

AOI is an automated visual inspection methodology used primarily to test for


defects in printed circuit board assemblies. AOI autonomously scans PCBAs with
cameras and detects two types of failures: 1. catastrophic failures, such as missing
components, and 2. quality failures, such as misshapen fillet or components that
are skewed. AOI works best in production environments with very high volumes
and very low component variability, because implementation is time-consuming
and complex, and must be set up for a specific design or part configuration.
Automatic or automated optical inspection, AOI, is a key technique used in the
manufacture and test of electronics printed circuit boards, PCBs. Automatic
optical inspection, AOI enables fast and accurate inspection of electronic
assemblies and in particular PCBs to ensure that the quality of product leaving the
production line is high and the items are built correctly and without manufacturing
faults.

3.1.2 AOI, automatic optical inspection basics.

AOI, automatic optical inspection systems use visual methods to monitor printed
circuit boards for defects. They are able to detect a variety of surface feature
defects such as nodules, scratches and stains as well as the more familiar
dimensional defects such as open circuits, shorts and thinning of the solder. They
can also detect incorrect components, missing components and incorrectly placed
components.
The automated optical inspection, AOI system uses the captured image which is
processed and then compared with the knowledge the machine has of what the
board should look like. Using this comparison the AOI system is able to detect
and highlight any defects or suspect areas.

6
3.1.3 AOI image capture and analysis.

One of the key elements of an AOI, automated optical inspection system is the
image capture system. This captures an image of the printed circuit board, PCB
assembly which is then analysed by the processing software within the AOI
system. There are many variants of image capture system dependent upon the
exact application and the complexity / cost of the AOI system.
Imaging systems may comprise a single camera or there may be more than one to
provide better imaging and the possibility of a 3D capability. The cameras should
also be able to move under software control. This will enable them to move to the
optimum position for a given PCB assembly.

7
3.2 What is capacitor defect inspection Machine.

The capacitor defect inspection machine uses the vibrating plate to sort out the
materials and transmit the capacitors to Specific detection station stably and
orderly and then transmit the captured high pixel sample images to the image
processing software industrial camara for systematic analysis. After the system
analyses and processes, it judges good and defective products, and controls the
corresponding pneumatic components to eliminate the defective products, and
finally collects qualified products. It can detect physical defects like dirt leakage
deformation, damaged skin head, single needle, free needle, length, width,
exposed solder joints and many other physical defects. One device can be
compatible with multiple product specifications, which is economical and
applicable. The detection speed is 400-600 pieces means which is fast and
efficient. The inspection machine adopts 14 sets of high-pixel industrial cameras
and high-performance stroboscopic light sources to carry out omni-directional
visual inspections for product appearance defects. The inspection speed is 400-
600 pieces/min.

3.3 Understanding Components

3.3.1 FIBRE OPTIC SENSOR

The fiber optic sensors also called as optical fiber sensors use optical fiber or
sensing element. These sensors are used to sense some quantities like temperature,
pressure, vibrations, displacements, rotations or concentration of chemical
species. Fibers have so many uses in the field of remote sensing because they
require no electrical power at the remote location and they have tiny size.
Fiber optic sensors are supreme for insensitive conditions, including noise, high
vibration, extreme heat, wet and unstable environments. These sensors can easily
fit in small areas and can be positioned correctly wherever flexible fibers are
needed. The wavelength shift can be calculated using a device, optical frequency-
domain reflectrometry. The time-delay of the fiber optic sensors can be decided
using a device such as an optical time-domain Reflectometer.

Types of Fiber-Optic Sensor Systems.

These sensors can be classified and explained in the following manner:

1. Based on the sensor location, the fiber optic sensors are classified into two
types:

• Intrinsic Fiber-Optic Sensors


• Extrinsic Fiber-Optic Sensor

12
Intrinsic Type Fiber Optic Sensors

In this type of sensors, sensing takes place within the fiber itself. The sensors
depend on the properties of the optical fiber itself to convert an environmental
action into a modulation of the light beam passing through it. Here, one of the
physical properties of light signal may be in the form of frequency, phase,
polarization; intensity. The most useful feature of the intrinsic fiber optic sensor
is, it provides distributed sensing over long range distances. The basic concept of
the intrinsic fiber optic sensor is shown in the following figure.

Extrinsic Type Fiber optic Sensors

In extrinsic type fiber optic sensors, the fiber may be used as information carriers
that show the way to a black box. It generates a light signal depending on the
information arrived at the black box. The black box may be made of mirrors, gas
or any other mechanisms that generates an optical signal. These sensors are used
to measure rotation, vibration velocity, displacement, twisting, torque and
acceleration. The major benefit of these sensors is their ability to reach places
which are otherwise unreachable.

13
3.3.2 PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR

Photoelectric sensors, also known as photo eyes, emit a beam of light that is used
to detect the presence or absence of items and equipment or changes in surface
conditions. When the emitted light is interrupted or reflected by the object, the
change in light patterns is measured by a receiver and the target object or surface
is recognized. Photoelectric sensors are very common in industrial manufacturing
fields such as material handling, packaging, food and beverage, medical, and
many

Depending on the style selected, they can be used with or without a reflector, be
self-contained, long-range, heavy-duty, or compact. There are many different
housing and mounting options to offer a correct fit that meets the demands of each
application. They perform a wide variety of tasks and some of them can even be
used in harsh environments.

14
3.3.3 THROUGH BEAM SENSOR

Through-beam sensors detect and count small parts, detect the edges of objects
and monitor passages in systems. The emitter and receiver are housed in separate
housings according to the through-beam mode. The sensor switches as soon as an
object interrupts the laser light, red light or infrared light.

Through-beam sensors from Balluff serve to detect objects reliably, regardless of


surface, color, material - even with a heavy gloss finish. They consist of separate
transmitter and receiver units that are attuned to each other. When an object
interrupts the light beam, this causes a change in the output signal in the receiver.
Absolute reliability

15
3.3.4 PLC (Programmable logic controller)

A programmable logic controller (PLC) or programmable controller is an


industrial computer that has been ruggedized and adapted for the control of
manufacturing processes, such as assembly lines, machines, robotic devices, or
any activity that requires high reliability, ease of programming, and process fault
diagnosis. Dick Morley is considered as the father of PLC as he had invented the
first PLC, the Modicon 084, for General Motors in 1968.

PLCs can range from small modular devices with tens of inputs and outputs (I/O),
in a housing integral with the processor, to large rack-mounted modular devices
with thousands of I/O, and which are often networked to other PLC and SCADA
systems.

They can be designed for many arrangements of digital and analog I/O, extended
temperature ranges, immunity to electrical noise, and resistance to vibration and
impact. Programs to control machine operation are typically stored in battery-
backed-up or non-volatile memory.

PLCs were first developed in the automobile manufacturing industry to provide


flexible, rugged and easily programmable controllers to replace hard-wired relay
logic systems. Since then, they have been widely adopted as high-reliability
automation controllers suitable for harsh environments.

A PLC is an example of a hard real-time system since output results must be


produced in response to input conditions within a limited time, otherwise
unintended operation will result.

17
CP1L: -
CP1L-EM” and “CP1L-EL” have complete with an Ethernet port.

• Pulse output for two axes. Advanced power for high-precision positioning
control.
• High-speed Counters. Single-phase for four axes.
• Six interrupt inputs are built in. Faster processing of instructions speeds up the
entire system.
• Serial Communications. Two ports. Select Option Boards for either RS-232C or
RS-485 communications.
• “CP1L-M” and “CP1L-L” have a peripheral USB port.
• The Structured Text (ST) Language. Makes math operations even easier.
• Can be used for the CP1W series Unit. The extendibility of it is preeminently
good.

• LCD displays and settings. Enabled using Option Board.

18
A PLC takes in inputs, whether from automated data capture points or from human
input points such as switches or buttons. Based on its programming, the PLC then
decides whether or not to change the output. A PLC’s outputs can control a huge
variety of equipment, including motors, solenoid valves, lights, switchgear, safety
shut-offs and many others.
The physical location of PLCs can vary widely from one system to another.
Usually, however, PLCs are located in the general vicinity of the systems they
operate, and they’re typically protected by a surface mount electrical box. Skip to
the end if you’re interested in seeing the electrical junction boxes that help protect
PLCs.

PLCs largely replaced the manual relay-based control systems that were common
in older industrial facilities. Relay systems are complex and prone to failure and,
in the 1960s, the inventor Richard Morley introduced the first PLCs as an
alternative. Manufacturers quickly realized the potential of PLCs and began
integrating them into their work processes.
Today, PLCs are still a fundamental element of many industrial control systems.
In fact, they’re still the most used industrial control technology worldwide. The
ability to work with PLCs is a required skill for many different professions, from
the engineers designing the system to the electrical technicians maintaining it.

19
Advantages of Using PLCs

PLCs have been a standard element of industrial machinery design for many
decades. What advantages do PLCs offer that make them such a popular choice?
• PLCs are fairly intuitive to program. Their programming languages are
simple in comparison to other industrial control systems, which makes
PLCs great for businesses that want to minimize complexity and costs.
• PLCs are a mature technology with years of testing and analysis backing
them up. It’s easy to find robust research about many different PLC
types and comprehensive tutorials for programming and integrating them.
• PLCs are available at a wide range of price points, including many
extremely affordable basic models that small businesses and startups often
use.
• PLCs are extremely versatile, and most PLC models are suitable for
controlling a wide variety of processes and systems.
• PLCs are completely solid-state devices, which means they have no moving
parts. That makes them exceptionally reliable and more able to survive the
challenging conditions present in many industrial facilities.
• PLCs have relatively few components, which makes them easier to
troubleshoot and helps reduce maintenance downtime.
• PLCs are efficient and don’t consume very much electrical power. This
helps conserve energy and may simplify wiring considerations.

Drawbacks of Using PLCs

No technology is perfect for every scenario, and there are some applications for
which PLCs aren’t the best choice. Let’s look at some of the most significant
potential drawbacks of using PLCs.
• PLCs have less capacity to handle extremely complex data or large numbers
of processes that involve analog rather than discrete inputs. As
manufacturing facilities become more integrated and involved, increasing
numbers of them may shift toward a distributed control system or another
alternative industrial control method.
• PLCs from different manufacturers often use proprietary programming
software. This makes PLC programming interfaces less interoperable than
they might be, especially considering that their programming languages
share common standards .

20
How a Programmable Logic Controller Works

A PLC is an input-output system, which means that each unit both accepts inputs
and controls outputs. Between inputs and outputs is the third element of the
system: logic programming, which happens in the CPU and controls the
relationship between the inputs and outputs.
Here’s how each element works:

• Input Monitoring: The PLC monitors relevant data inputs and sends the data
to the CPU. Some PLCs only use data inputs with discrete (on/off) inputs,
but PLCs with analog capabilities can accept analog inputs for continuous
variables. Inputs may come from IoT devices, robots, safety
sensors, human-machine interfaces, or almost any other type of data entry
point.

• Logic Programming: Every PLC is built with a microprocessor CPU, either


16-bit or 32-bit. Engineers and technicians program the PLC CPU to
recognize certain conditions and values and to make changes in the outputs
based on its programmed rules. The CPU is constantly checking the state
of variables and making decisions based on programmed conditions. This
simple premise allows a wide variety of designs and functions.

• Output Control: Based on the programmed logic, the PLC controls various
switches, motor starters, relays, and other devices connected to its outputs.
This allows the PLCs to take control of mechanical processes such as the
operation of a machine. Engineers can also link multiple system parts by
programming PLCs to send their output signal to another PLC in a chain.

21
Choosing a PLC

Many factors will influence your choice when it comes to specifying a PLC model
for your application. Some key considerations include:

• Electrical Capacity: PLCs have different voltage requirements for their


power supplies, so check to ensure that your selection is compatible with
your electrical system.
• Processing Speed: Check a PLC model’s CPU speed to determine whether
it meets your application’s needs.
• Compatibility: Ensure that your PLC model is compatible with any new or
existing system hardware, whether that’s power supplies or DIN rails.
• Temperature Tolerance: Most PLCs are designed for safe operation within
the range of 0 to 60°C. However, some specialized PLC models can operate
at extreme temperatures, which is important for facilities with unusually hot
or cold manufacturing conditions.
• Memory: A PLC needs sufficient ROM and RAM to execute the processes
it’s intended to automate. The controller uses ROM to store its operating
system and instructions and RAM to execute its functions.
• Connectivity: Make sure your PLC has enough input and output ports, and
make sure it’s able to connect to the type of peripherals that your system
requires.
• Analog I/O: Although PLCs are primarily used for discrete functions, some
models also have analog inputs and outputs that can control processes with
continuous variables.

22
3.3.5 HMI (Human-Machine Interface)

The hardware or software through which an operator interacts with a controller.


An HMI can range from a physical control panel with buttons and indicator lights
to an industrial PC with a colour graphics display running dedicated HMI
software.

A Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is a user interface or dashboard that connects


a person to a machine, system, or device. While the term can technically be
applied to any screen that allows a user to interact with a device, HMI is most
commonly used in the context of an industrial process.

HMIs are similar in some ways to Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) but they are
not synonymous; GUIs are often leveraged within HMIs for visualization
capabilities.

In industrial settings, HMIs can be used to:

• Visually display data


• Track production time, trends, and tags
• Oversee KPIs
• Monitor machine inputs and outputs
• And more

Similar to how you would interact with your air-conditioning system to check and
control the temperature in your house, a plant-floor operator might use an HMI to
check and control the temperature of an industrial water tank, or to see if a certain
pump in the facility is currently running.

Basic HMI examples include built-in screens on machines, computer monitors,


and tablets, but regardless of their format or which term you use to refer to them,
their purpose is to provide insight into mechanical performance and progress.

23
Who Uses HMI

HMI technology is used by almost all industrial organizations, as well as a wide


range of other companies, to interact with their machines and optimize their
industrial processes.

The most common roles that interact with HMIs are operators, system integrators,
and engineers, particularly control system engineers. HMIs are essential resources
for these professionals, who use them to review and monitor processes, diagnose
problems, and visualize data.

24
Common Uses of HMI

HMIs communicate with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and


input/output sensors to get and display information for users to view. HMI screens
can be used for a single function, like monitoring and tracking, or for performing
more sophisticated operations, like switching machines off or increasing
production speed, depending on how they are implemented.

HMIs are used to optimize an industrial process by digitizing and centralizing data
for a viewer. By leveraging HMI, operators can see important information
displayed in graphs, charts, or digital dashboards, view and manage alarms, and
connect with SCADA, ERP, and MES systems, all through one console.

Previously, operators would need to walk the floor constantly to review


mechanical progress and record it on a piece of paper or a whiteboard. By allowing
PLCs to communicate real-time information straight to an HMI display, HMI
technology eliminates the need for this outdated practice and thereby reduces
many costly problems caused by lack of information or human error.

25
3.3.6 VISION CONTROLLER

Vision controllers offer all of the power and flexibility of PC-based system, but
are better able to withstand the rigors of harsh factory environments. Vision
controllers allow for easier configuration of 3D and multi-camera 2D applications,
perhaps for one-off tasks where a reasonable amount of time and money is
available for development. This allows for more sophisticated applications to be
configured in a very cost-effective way.

Automation Machine vision systems are technologies and methods used to


provide image-based automatic inspection and analysis for such applications as
automatic inspection, motion control and robot guidance. Machine vision uses a
camera and a computer to perform a specific task. More specifically, these
systems use a camera to obtain the necessary part images, and then use a computer
to analyze the images and respond accordingly to data – often inspecting the part
with a pass/fail outcome.

26
3.3.7 Relay

Relays are used with electrical loads at a range of about 10 amperes or less.
Relays are designed to operate in both ways i.e. in normally open or normally
closed as per function demand. Relays are used in circuits that have load capacity
equal to or smaller than 10 amperes, so spring load contacts are not commonly
seen in relays due to their low load capacity.

27
3.3.8 SMPS (Switched mode power supply)
A switched-mode power supply (SMPS) is an electronic circuit that converts
power using switching devices that are turned on and off at high frequencies, and
storage components such as inductors or capacitors to supply power when the
switching device is in its non-conduction state.

Switching power supplies have high efficiency and are widely used in a variety of
electronic equipment, including computers and other sensitive equipment
requiring stable and efficient power supply.

A switched-mode power supply is also known as a switch-mode power supply or


switching-mode power supply.

REVIEW

4.1. How to put my knowledge and skills into practice

From conducting comprehensive competitor analysis research, to designing a


marketing and communication plan, my knowledge of electronics and marketing
theories was transformed into a series of practical techniques and skills that I can
now implement in real-life business scenarios, all thanks to my internship.

4.2. The benefits of networking

During my internship, I learned how to communicate and build relationships with


the people I worked with. I learned how to introduce myself, talk about my
interests, knowledge and skills with entrepreneurs and business owners, as well
as how to ask questions and gain a better understanding of businesses not only in
the co-working space, but also others in the market. This process overall helped
me develop my professional network and the importance of creating these
connections. I also connected with most of them via LinkedIn, which is obviously
a great networking platform for professionals.

4.3. Understanding workplace culture

Culture influences communication, and as an international student, I learned that


every company or organization has its own culture. It’s essential to observe others
and learn how they engage and interact with co-workers, or help them with
projects and tasks. I quickly learned that whenever something is unclear for me,
or I don’t understand, it’s fine to ask for clarification.

29
4.4. Enthusiasm is invaluable

As an intern, I discovered it’s essential to be enthusiastic and open to learning new


skills, asking for more work and being curious to learn and ask questions. This
attitude will show that you enjoy being part of the team and that you’re keen to
help. Having curiosity and enthusiasm also means that, as an intern, you get a lot
out of what you’re doing, which opens lots of opportunities.

4.5. Keeping a journal is great for personal growth

During my internship, I had a journal and took notes every day about new things
I learned, feedback I was given by my manager, strengths and weaknesses I
noticed, and things I wanted to research and learn more about. This helped me
understand myself more and identify the areas
that I needed to improve in.

4.6. How important good communication is

Communication is the key to success in a professional environment. I learned that


it’s important to communicate with my manager via phone, email or SMS if I have
questions or if I don’t know how to work on a task. Asking for help and
clarification is better than pretending you’ve understood what you need to do, no
matter what. However, I also found that if you can Google
something, then do. Avoiding asking questions if you can find answers elsewhere
is part of being a good communicator — keep in mind that everyone’s time is
valuable. As an intern, good communication will help with productivity,
efficiency, engagement and growth.

30
4.7. The benefits of taking on feedback

Asking for and receiving professional feedback is very important. It is essential to


take note of both the positive and negative points for the future, so you can grow
and excel in your career. I learned that sometimes asking for feedback or receiving
feedback is difficult to hear, but it will have a significant impact on our future
career and success.

CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION

During one month of internship period at Eastro control systems we were


introduced to their ongoing project AOI System for capacitor defect inspection.
During the study of machine, we got to learn new things such as PLCs, HMI,
vision controller, and many sensors.

The replacement of labor by machines is a general trend in the current


manufacturing industry. Machines can replace people in industrial production to
do a large number of monotonous, frequent and repetitive operations, or
operations in dangerous and harsh environments. The production process of the
machine is highly consistent, and the quality of the product is very stable, which
can bring stable benefits to the enterprise; the machine can work continuously for
24 hours, the enterprise can accurately predict the output, and the inventory can
also be better controlled. Every cost saving in the production process will be
transformed into the competitiveness of the product in the market. Manufacturing
enterprises have used a large number of smart devices to ensure product quality,
improve production efficiency, and avoid industrial accidents. The capacitor
manufacturing industry is in a period of transition from traditional equipment to
intelligent manufacturing equipment. If an enterprise wants to grab a larger market
share in the fierce competition and get rid of the homogeneous competition of
products, it must improve the automation level of the production line. The
introduction of advanced appearance inspection machines is a powerful technical
means to realize the transformation and upgrading of the capacitor manufacturing
industry.

The materials are arranged by vibrating plate, Linear vibration and non-
destructive conveying, and the capacitance is stably and orderly transferred to the
specific inspection station, and then the high-pixel sample image captured by the
industrial camera is transferred to the image processing software. After the system
analyzes and processes, it judges good and defective products, and controls the
corresponding pneumatic components to eliminate the defective products, and
finally collects qualified products.

Through this training, we have gained new insight and more comprehensive
understanding about the real industrial working condition and practice.
It also improved our soft and functional skills by interacting with the peers and
mentor on the daily basis.

All these valuable experiences and knowledge is that we have gained were not
only acquired through the direct involvement in task but also through the other
aspect of training such as work observation, interaction with mentors, and others
related to the laboratory.
Here we are concluding, this training program has satisfied my primary objectives,
and as a result we are more confident practically and theoretically on our
respective subjects, which in future will became helpful to build our career.
