Impressive video. I now have something to show to explain what I do for a living to other people... I have to ask. What type of control system do you guys use on your hardware? Allen Bradley? Rockwell? Siemens?
As a new EE graduate, I shutter at the thought that people did all of this in ladder logic in the past. What IEC language do you guys use to do all of this? Structured text? Ladder? Sequential Function charts?

Ladder logic is perfectly suited to automating any of the machines shown in the video. What it's not good at is manipulating data but with IEC 1131 you can embed structured text in ladder very easily to handle any data manipulation if so desired. What you won't find are many maintenance people that understand anything above ladder.

This is very true. However I'd like to see machinery manufacturers make the leap to structured text. It's so much more powerful than ladder logic. The reason LL is so popular is AB's strangle hold on the PLC industry. Maybe with the fall of the US auto industry we'll begin to see changes.

Ok thanks for that bit of information. I'm looking at EE for my main course of study. Most likely going to Purdue since its local and I currently still have a full scholarship. I just have to keep up my grades.

Very impressive indeed.
I'm a high school senior and those are exactly the type of machines I hope to design someday. What discipline would you consider this?

Our company employs mechanical, electrical and robotic engineers. Any of these engineering disciplines would be useful in the automation and packaging machinery industry.
