Abstract :
The improved integration of computer technology with machine controls has resulted in products sharing programmable logic controller (PLC) and minicomputer features. Critical to this integrated product is a multitasking based operating system and industry standard hardware platform. By virtue of this powerful machine and the deployment of its unique concepts, standard PLCs are no longer force fit into applications requiring extensive real-time responses. The flexibility of the system can be employed on practically any and all machines at control level 0 in a tire plant. Unique multitasking benefits are explored on three types of tire machines: an extruder, a tire builder, and a tire curing press.<>
