In industrial automation, ensuring operational safety and process integrity is paramount. One of the most common requirements in factory automation is the creation of an interlock system. This prevents multiple commands from executing simultaneously, which could otherwise lead to mechanical failure or electrical overloads.
Using Siemens TIA Portal, engineers can implement robust pump logic that combines latching and interlocking. This guide breaks down how to configure a three-input system where only one operational mode can be active at a time.
