S7-1200 Conveyor Trainer 3D Demo
Explore our three-station conveyor trainer in 3D, with an illustrated walkthrough of TIA Portal setup, PTO speed control and pneumatic sorting. Follow the guided steps, then try the PTO sorting challenge to explore frequency, cylinder response and sensor timing.
S7-1200 Conveyor Trainer
Sort round workpieces into matching positions: black → left station, red → centre station, grey → right station. Each colour activates its own sensor and cylinder. Adjust the timing to sort all three reliably.
Response time includes valve delay and travel until contact. Sensor distance is measured upstream from the station centre. Response, distance or strategy changes start a new trial; frequency can change live.

Illustrative model: 40 pulses/mm, cylindrical workpieces of 6 mm diameter and a sorting window from +4 to −2 mm relative to each matching station. A missed workpiece continues past the other stations without being pushed into the wrong collection. The stop strategy assumes an ideal stop at the matching station. Actual limits depend on the machine, deceleration, air supply and measured response.
