The process modules function either independently of the transport system, in 

in single or couple modes, or integrated into it, in cell mode. The modules are 

located in a side of the linear transfer, and may be withdrawn for re-positioning  

in  a  different  order (the repositioning of different modules of the system can 

mean repositioning of stoppers, lifters-positioners and reprogramming of the 

controllers of the system),  moved  for  future  extensions  or  work  in  

completely independent, in a single mode, or  with its complementary module in 

a couple mode (requiring reprogramming of the control). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Figure 9: FAS201 module a single mode.  

 Figure  10:  FAS201 and FAS202 

modules in couple module (without any 

linear transfer). 

 

Each station has its own electrical panel, where the wiring 

system and PLC are fully visible for study, while new elements 

may be fitted to the panel if desired. In addition, students may 

design and build their own controls with different PLCs and 

subsequently integrate them in the station, thereby developing 

a  further series of skills envisaged in the Training Cycles for 

those persons who form the target group for the Cell.
