The candy machine is designed for making candies, namely: prunes in which a nut is embedded and topped with chocolate. The machine forms 16 candies in one cycle. 

The mechanical part consists of a frame on which are placed bunkers with prunes and nuts. Prunes and nuts have their own dosing and feeding systems to the mechanism of "stuffing nuts into prunes". Prunes are fed by augers driven by a motor. Rows of nuts are formed by a vibrating hopper. 

To control the actuators used: Siemens controller, S7-1200, which controls the frequency converter (Schneider Electric, Altivar911) with a positioning system (brake resistors are used for fast braking), vibrating hopper, and pneumatic island (Festo). The system of dosing and "stuffing of a nut in prunes" is realized on the basis of Festo pneumatics.  

For better interaction with the machine, the operator panel Siemens KP 300 is used. It allows you to change the settings of the machine, displays the status of the system and its individual mechanisms, and informs the operator about the detection of an accident. There are two access modes for the control panel: administrator and operator. There are two modes of operation: manual and automatic. Manual mode (or administrator mode is designed to debug the machine, and change settings: operating times, dosing, speeds), and automatic mode (or operator mode). 

Smoke extraction systems are used to pump out smoke in the event of a fire in a building, and to supply clean air. 

This will allow you to safely evacuate people from the room where the fire broke out. The smoke extraction system controls two fans and three valves. There is a local control of the system from the control panel, namely the "Start" and "Stop" buttons.

It is also possible to control from the control panel, or external signals from the fire buttons, which are located in the premises.

Implemented system status alarm:
- condition of valves;
- power supply of the shield;
- valve failure;
- power failure;
- fan failure. 

The transfer of system status data to the control panel is provided.

Irrigation systems are used to irrigate large areas of greenery, which in turn saves on human resources. Also, the advantages include the fact that the irrigation system allows you to timely supply the required amount of water, and evenly distribute it throughout the territory.

According to the terms of reference, a solution for automation of the irrigation system was developed. This solution provides control and protection of two pumps for water supply from the lake, and control of watering time. A motor protection relay was used to protect the motors.

This gave us the opportunity to protect the engine:
- from overloads; 
- from phase break;
- from phase change; 
- from a short circuit. 

 Manual engine control mode and status indication on the control panel were also implemented. The control panel is protected according to the IP66 standard. which makes it possible to install it outdoors.

This project was performed for a communal complex located in Dolyna. The treatment plant system consists of sewage treatment tanks, pumps, and control devices. AlpinaSS designed and installed tanks with pumps. Our task was: power, control, and monitoring of the system. 

The project is based on the Siemens controller, LOGO! 8. The control panel allows you to control two air pumps (2.2 kW) and five water pumps (5.5 kW and 3 kW). Current and voltage protection systems for pumps are used. 

The built-in web-server provides:
- monitoring of the technological process;
- change of operating time and pause of each of pumps;
- calculates motor hours. 

 Web-server allows you to connect to the system from any computer or phone via a web browser. The built-in uninterruptible power supply provides the notification of accident, even at power failure of system.

Together with VK Metal, a project for a line of assembly of wire products for cars was developed. The line consists of a mechanical (frame, chain drive, gearbox, mobile replacement parts) and electrical part (control panels, motor, lighting). 

Shields move in a circle on the lines, on which workers form conductive products. Put it in bundles and stuff the tips. The automation system consists of two panels: power (frequency converter, circuit breakers, relays) and control (control devices and information display). 

The operator can change the speed of the line and control the lighting.

In the production of metal tiles, it is necessary to maintain the tension of the metal strip between the metal roll on the production line. 

Roll unwinders are used for this purpose. The unwinder "monitors" the straightening of the tape. If the sag is too large, the unwinding speed decreases, if the tension increases, the unwinding speed also increases. 

The mechanics of the system consist of a base and a drum. 

Automation system from a frequency converter with an analog input and a device for determining the angle of the rocker arm.

The system provides control of sawdust drying process. 

The system includes:

Automation controls:
- screw speeds; - sawdust level in the intermediate hopper;
- temperature in the heating furnace and drying drum.

The project envisages the installation of a system for palletizing pallets with cobblestones. 

The mechanism can be made in two modifications:
- the pallet is motionless, rolls with a tape and the advertizing information move around it (on a photo);
- the pallet rotates on the base, and rolls with a tape carry out movement up / down. 

The system can be completed with means of delivery / removal of pallets. This project was made by VK Metal, which developed and assembled the mechanical part. The winder is equipped with two motor reducers: for vertical linear movement (available locking mechanism) and rotational movement. 

The system allows the operator to change settings: control the speed of lifting and winding, as well as change the number of required revolutions.

The project involves controlling the dosing of bulk elements on the line of candy production. 

The system consists of the following parts:
- mechanical;
- pneumatic;
- electric. 

The mechanical part includes a hopper with holes in the bottom, which are closed by a movable plate. Inside the hopper are movable plates that evenly distribute the raw material. 

Pneumatic actuators ensure the movement of the bottom plate and the elements inside the hopper. 

The electrical part is based on the Siemens controller, S7 1200, and the KP 300 operator panel. 

The operator panel displays the status of the main nodes of the system, and allows you to change the settings.

The project was implemented at a wood fuel pellet plant. The main task is to control the system of raw material supply to the packing machine.

The control panel provides control of the mechanisms included in the line:
- norias;
- receiving hopper;
- conveyor;
- cyclone. 

Products are fed into the filling machine depending on the level of filling of the machine. The whole line is switched on from the end (first the packing machine, then the hopper, and the last noria), and switched off from the beginning (from the noria to the packing machine). The logic of the system is implemented on the controller Schneider Electric, Modicon 221.

The project is designed for an incubator. The system is used to transport chickens to operators between packing and inoculation systems. Boxes with chickens move on conveyors, at different levels. Automation panels provide control over the movement process, allow you to change the speed of the conveyors, protect the engines from overload.

The project is designed for a cookie company. 

During the manufacture of food products, during the technological process, in the raw material, or on the line, metal objects can get. To avoid getting defective products to the consumer, use metal detectors. This project uses an ImPack metal detector, which was "cut" into the existing conveyor line. After the metal detector, a pneumatic system for discharging defective products was placed.

The system is designed for washing parts with gradual cooling. It consists of 3 baths in which an aqueous solution circulates. A conveyor line passes through the baths, along which the parts move. The temperature in each bath is maintained by heating elements and controlled by thermocouples. The liquid level (maximum and minimum) is controlled by level sensors with relay outputs. 

Automation allows you to change:
- conveyor speed;
- the rate of circulation of the aqueous solution;
- temperature in baths. 

The Siemens S7 1200 controller and the TP 700 operator panel were used for the project implementation. Maintenance and heating to the required temperature is carried out with the help of the PID controller. Alarm messages and system status are displayed in the operator panel.

 The system can be equipped with an option to detect a fault in each heater.

The project was implemented at the Lviv Fat Plant. 

Before packing packs of margarine in boxes, they need to be formed in rows (2x5, or 2x6). Bundles are fed on two conveyors (or from one conveyor, depending on the technological process) and get into the shaper machine. By means of pneumatic cylinders there is a formation in rows, and an exit of rows from the car of the former. The calculation of packs in a row is carried out by optical sensors. The peculiarity of the machine is that the margarine in packs is still quite warm, so it is important not to "squeeze" them in the process of forming rows. The process of formation is closed from human interference in the system. And in case of intervention it stops. Rittal control panel, stainless steel, Siemens controller, S7 1200, Schneider Electric safety sensors.

The project is designed for a refrigeration unit located in the Lviv bazaar.

Purpose: to save electricity, and avoid voltage drops. New facilities were put into operation at this facility, as a result of which the installed capacity was no longer sufficient. The operating cycles of refrigeration units were analyzed: their pumps (2x50 kW, starting current 262A) maintain the freon pressure between the minimum and maximum level. The system worked to turn on the pumps with contactors. 

During the analysis it was found that huge power is lost when starting the pumps, which leads to voltage sag. It was proposed to modernize the control scheme and start of pumps. Namely, to use frequency converters and manometers with analog output. This allowed to pump the maximum pressure at night (when other appliances are turned off), and to maintain the minimum pressure in the system during the day.That is, at night the system cools the refrigerators as much as possible, and during the day it only maintains their operation at a given level. 

This allowed to remove unnecessary engine starts, and to run the engines (during the day) at less than nominal power (because it was not necessary to create excess pressure of freon).

The customer was tasked to develop and implement a hydraulic press control system.

Algorithm of operation - after starting the system with the "Start" button, the press should start moving downwards within a certain time interval. After that, start moving in the opposite direction. When you reach the starting point, the hydraulic press must stop. The system must be restarted with the "Start" button. The system must provide for an emergency stop of the process with the "Stop" button, as well as in emergency cases - when the shield door is open, or the hydraulic press engine is overloaded. In the event of an emergency, the "Emergency" indicator light should illuminate. The interval of the complete cycle and the lowering process must be adjustable. 

A contactor is used to control the operation of the engine, and a motor protection device is used to protect the engine from overload. A limit switch is used for emergency shutdown of the system in case of opening the shield door. The full cycle time and the lowering time of the hydraulic press are regulated by a time relay. The lowering / raising of the hydraulic press is controlled by means of a hydraulic distributor.

This system involves the use of motors of different capacities with the appropriate selection of automatic motor protection and contactor.

The task before us: to develop a fire extinguishing system, with constant maintenance of pressure in the pipes. The system uses 2 water supply pumps, which operate alternately in normal mode, and if there is not enough pressure in the system, both are turned on, in case of fire. 

The minimum and maximum pressure in the system is measured by manometers, and through discrete signals are transmitted to the control panel. 

The system can operate in two modes: manual (the operator turns on / off the selected pump), or automatic (the system maintains the required pressure). 

The fire signal "comes" from a remote device to the discrete input of the control panel. Information about the state of the system (power supply, accidents, pump operation) is transmitted to the control panel.

The project was developed for the company Elektrokontakt Ukraine (cable systems for aircraft and automotive, shipbuilding, railway transport, telecommunications and energy networks, oil and gas industry, construction and housing). The task was to develop a system that would control the carousel mechanisms and monitor the number of manufactured products per shift. Carousel mechanics are developed by our partners VK Metal. On four sides of the mechanism there are boards-templates on which workers of the enterprise form beams of wires. 

The carousel rotates around its axis, at regular intervals, and pauses for the time required to form the cable start. We developed a system that consisted of a control panel and a widescreen monitor. An operator panel was placed on the control panel, which allows the change manager to change the system settings. Namely: pause time, operating time, number of revolutions, speed of rotation, and the number of products that must be produced per shift. The widescreen monitor displayed information on the amount of products to be produced, the amount already produced, and the rate of lag or advancement of the plan.

The project was implemented at the Roshen factory on the cookie production line. The system consists of a conveyor and a control panel. The conveyor is controlled manually from the control panel. Current and voltage protection systems of the motor are installed in the panel. The motor is controlled via a frequency converter, which allows you to change the speed of the conveyor.

The project was implemented at the Roshen factory, on the cookie production line. The conveyor system consists of 4 conveyors and a control panel. Control is in manual mode, with the control buttons. The motors are connected via frequency converters. Conveyor speeds are changed using potentiometers.

The system is implemented at the Roshen factory, on the cookie production line. The system is designed to transport products between machines. It consists of 4 conveyors, which are spread over different rooms. Two control panels were used so that the operator could be close to the conveyor. The motors are connected via a frequency converter, which allows you to change the speed with a potentiometer.

CONCRETE MIXING WEIGHING LINE A project to modernize the weighing unit of the concrete mixture was completed for the concrete plant. The unit consists of two hoppers, which are closed by lids with pneumatic cylinders. A vibration system is installed in each hopper. Raw materials from the hoppers are fed to the conveyor and transported to the mixing system. The problem was that different types of concrete required different amounts of components each time. To do this, you need to readjust the scales and it takes a long time. Therefore, a solution was proposed to install a control panel with a Schneider Electric controller, M221 and RS485 output. This made it possible to implement recipes for each type of concrete. 

Axis scales are used for weighing concrete, to which the RS485 expansion module is installed. This made it possible to read the data (weight of the concrete mixture in the hopper) to the controller.

Buttons with indicators are used to implement recipes. Each button is responsible for its recipe. To understand which of the recipes is selected, the corresponding button is highlighted. 

The system provides two modes of operation, manual and automatic. Manual mode: the operator controls the mixture spill. Automatic mode: the operator selects the recipe and starts the system.

The project is designed for a cookie company. The process is to unload and move the dough from the kneading machine to the cutting and baking machine. 

The conveyor line is located on different floors of the building, which complicates the management process. That is why it was proposed to use the Siemens operator panel, TP900, to visualize the production process. The panel displays the status of all mechanisms in the line, as well as the stages of production. 

The conveyor system consists of 4 conveyors. The loading mechanism in the "rolling" machine uses a hydraulic system (oil station, hydraulic distributors, hydraulic cylinders), which raises the dough to the required height.

The project is designed for a company producing wire products. Our task was to heat and maintain the temperature in the furnace. The heating process is controlled by a Siemens, S7 1200 controller.
To control the process, the bloc under the regulator was used.
