PackTag Item Specification Example Current State: Tag Name: PML_Cur_State Data Type: Byte Tag Descriptor: Current State Comments: The response is one of a restricted set of integers that define the current state. These states are one of the following:
PackSoft and PackAL • PackAL is an application library of functions • Defines high level functions • Number of technology providers are building PackAL into their products including: • Siemens • Beckhoff • Bosch Rexroth
PackAL Example • Function Block use Tag Names of OMAC PWG • Mandatory IO variables and • optional IO variables • Reference variables allow for various technology implementations • Use of specific OMAC PWG tag names • FB can be called in any language (LD, FBD, SFC, ST, IL of IEC61131, C, etc.)

OMAC Packaging Workgroup Automation Survey (April 2006) • Over 60% of pkg. lines not networked • Over 2/3 of pkg. lines have no reliability data collection • 7% of pkg lines are integrated to ERP Systems • 20% of users specify the OPW Guidelines • Major reason for not using OPWGuidelines is not familiar with them • Most users only use ladder logic programming • Summary of survey on OPW website (www.omac.org/packaging)
Why Join the OMAC Packaging Workgroup • Line Integration • PackConnect can help • Reliability • PackML can make this much easier • ERP Integration • PackML can help here • Better programming implementation • PackSoft can help
Business Benefits • Lower Engineering Costs • Easier integration of packaging machines • Lower Capital Costs • Buying standard packaging machines • Faster Project Schedules • Buying standard machines • Easier integration • One user company expects $15 million savings
