ICTS-Test Run 2 Analysis

We did the test run on 16/4/07 and here are the analysis:
1. We found error for S3 and S4 sequence where the CvC stop once S3 is ON. After troubleshooting we found that there is one missing condition. The condition is when S3 ON and S4 OFF, the CvC must continuosly running. Missing it meaning the CvC stop unnecessarily. Here is the new design.
2. The gap for each mooncake on CvB is slightly out of control. The reason is due to the 90 degree slider friction at S3 and S4 is beyond control. A few countermeasure is required prior to actual running of the project. They are : change the layout of the process, apply pneumatic pusher as S1 and packaging, or even improve the mechanical sliding jig there.
3. The actual gap S1 and S2 must be concisely measured to ensure smooth running of the CvB without stopping it while waiting for Cutter signal. The speed of CvB also needs to be constantly verifed. Currently it is running at 10.32m per minute. The actual new conveyor will give a maximum speed of 15 m per minute.
4. The actual gap for mooncakes on CvC must be calculated correctly to ensure smooth delivery to CvB. Smooth delivery will give accurate gap on CvB that later on will guarantee syncronisation with Packaging Conveyor.

5. The simulated Cutter Signal is not perfect. While the actual signal is a pulse with 1.333s tact time, the current circuit is giving a clock cycle of about 1.333s which means the pulse is half of it that is about 0.655. Indeed the actual pulse is even shorter than that. Here is the hardware t o generate the pulse timer.
