1. Introduction.
Currently, the ITESM System is implementing a Remote Laboratories Network in different Campus in Mxico. Each Campus has the compromise
to install and operate a different model, and then, the models could be used by the students of the Campus. The complete system consists in the
following components:
PC station
PLC- S7 300
Scale model
Two video cameras
Power supply
LabView software
Simatic Step 7
The model in Campus Laguna consists of the following main parts:
High level storage warehouse
Rail guide vehicle STS

2. Model description.
2.1 High level storage warehouse

2/21

The High Level Storage Warehouse simulates an automatically working high-level-storage system as used for example in many industries
branches.
The model consists of a rack, being divided up in 5 x 10 storage places, a warehouse operating device, being portable in X-direction, and two
charge / discharge stations. A cage being portable in Z-direction and including a telescopic carrier, that is portable in Y-direction, is attached to the
warehouse operating device.
The simulated process shows palettes being stored and withdrawn from the high-level storage: In case of one charge station being occupied by a
palette, the telescopic palette carrier moves to the station and takes over the palette. This is recognized by a reflection light switch. Following this,
the warehouse operating device brings the palette to the intended storage place in an optimized manner by moving in X- and Z- direction at the
same time. Occupying a storage place is recognized by software. In order to enable a quick movement to the storage place on the one hand and a
safe lay-in-movement on the other hand, the horizontal rack positions are equipped with advanced mechanical switches that allow retarding the
warehouse operating device before reaching the intended position. Withdrawing palettes occurs in the same manner, done in inverse
chronological order. In cause of bolting the Y-axes against the two others moving the palette carrier in X- and Z-direction is only possible, if the
palette carrier is in its middle position. Moreover, the X-axis is equipped with a hardware end position switch to prevent the whole warehouse
system from fatal mistakes in using the conveyor or programming the control unit. The High-level-Storage warehouse is fit to be combined with
further modules and standard models in order to automate the peripheral of the warehouse.

2.3 Rail guided vehicle STS

The Rail guided vehicle STS is an element of a flexibly configurable transport system. Compared to conveyor belts it allows a more flexible
transport of work pieces over big distances.
The Rail guided vehicle consists of the shuttle, which is fitted with an inductive proximity switch to recognize parts on it and two tracks with a
length up to 1 m and 2 stop positions. Several modules with feeding functions can be used to hand over parts to the STS.
Reaching the exact stop positions for taking over a part is ensured by mechanical switches.
