One real line — a 3-station packaging line automation retrofit for a food/beverage plant — carried through all 6 stages of industrial controls design, from the PLC I/O list to a finished FAT/SAT checklist.
6 steps. Steps 1-2 are free. Steps 3-6 unlock with a one-time $4.99 purchase.
A complete point-by-point inventory of every input/output across the 3-station packaging line.
I/O card count, enclosure sizing, and power distribution for each station's control panel.
Industrial Ethernet topology, IT/OT segmentation, and latency/determinism for the line network.
ISA-101 high-performance HMI design for the line's operator screens.
ISA-18.2 alarm rationalization, priority classification, and flood prevention.
Factory and Site Acceptance Testing — verifying the full line works together before production.
Educational project reference. This project walks through a realistic scenario using the site's real calculators and written guides — it is a learning and reference resource, not a permit-ready construction document. Final system design, code compliance, and installation require a licensed engineer or contractor. See our full disclaimer.
