1 The necessity of automatic control of food packaging machinery
　　
The product and packaging machinery industry has been in the industry for more than 20 years, compared to the food industry, or a new industry. At present, the domestic food packaging machinery enterprise combination and mechatronics productivity is low, most food packaging machinery enterprises mainly produce single machine, low production efficiency, high energy consumption, poor stability and reliability, less control technology and automation technology applications. These years are a period of rapid development of technology in the world. New technologies are constantly being applied in the industry. The foundation of the domestic industry is weak, and the strength of technology and scientific research is insufficient. Its development is relatively lagging behind, which has dragged the food and packaging industry to some extent. Hind legs. With the rapid improvement of people's living standards, the development of the food industry is becoming more and more huge. In order to meet the ever-changing consumer demand, the following requirements are put forward for food packaging machinery: 1) The higher the production efficiency of food packaging machinery, the better. 2) The food packaging machinery has high flexibility and flexibility, which can effectively ensure that the packaging machinery can standardize and standardize the packaging according to the requirements of the packaged articles and the packaging materials, and meet the requirements of the packaging. 3) The failure of the food packaging machinery during the work process should be quickly eliminated. 4) Food packaging machinery has automatic identification function. 5) The packaging process of food packaging machinery should achieve green packaging. 6) Ensure the safety and hygiene of the food production and packaging process.
　　
Thus, food packaging machinery automation, particularly automatic packaging line with a high degree of flexibility, not only reflects the development of modern production, but can also enable enterprises to obtain huge economic benefits.
2 Ways to achieve automatic control of food packaging machinery
　　
Automation technology can effectively improve the competitiveness of food packaging machinery at home and abroad, which is of great significance to the development of China's food packaging machinery, and is the only way for the development of China's food packaging machinery.

From the production to the packaging of food, the whole process can adopt three kinds of control methods: open-loop control, food packaging machinery with low product quality and packaging requirements, this way can be used. Low cost and high reliability are its advantages. Closed-loop control, using various sensors installed on the food packaging machinery to detect the working state of the device, and feedback the detected information to the controller of the device to achieve closed-loop control. For food packaging machinery with high product quality and packaging requirements, this method can be used. Semi-closed loop control, using sensors installed at certain locations on the food packaging machinery to detect the working state of the equipment, these detected information only indirectly reflects the working state of the equipment. For food packaging machinery with high product quality and packaging requirements, semi-closed loop control is the main choice.
2.2 Controller on food packaging machinery
　　
Automation control products have been gradually applied in the food packaging machinery industry. As far as the controllers currently used in food packaging machinery can be divided into the following categories, ':1) a simple relay circuit is used, and the device is controlled by buttons, the device function is fixed, the flexibility is poor, and the automation level is low. . 2) Using the powerful sequential control and logic control functions of the programmable logic controller (PLC) to control the food packaging machinery, the reliability and flexibility of the equipment are greatly improved; at the same time, in order to facilitate the operator to operate the equipment, adopt the human Machine interactive graphical interface (HMI), good interactivity, the automation level of food packaging machinery has been rapidly improved, which is also a widely used method in domestic food packaging machinery. 3) The maturity of bus technology makes it possible to use fieldbus technology such as PROFIBUS-DP, CC-LINK and DEVI-CENET, remote I/O technology and network communication technology on food packaging machinery. This brings the advantages of automation products to a certain extent, which facilitates the unmanned operation of the entire production line and the seamless connection of the transmission and testing of the equipment. 4) Using the computer as the main control machine, PLC and other industrial computers as the field controller to manage the equipment.
　　
At the same time, the application of PackML technology in food packaging machinery makes the food packaging machinery automation technology further standardized, control interface standardization, improve equipment flexibility and market adaptability.
2.3 Drive technology on food packaging machinery
　　
Food packaging machinery has many actions, fine movements and fast speeds, and each movement must be coordinated during the working process of the equipment in order to achieve precise position control of the equipment and strict speed synchronization of each part. Traditional food packaging machinery generally uses a main motor as a power source, through complex mechanical transmission, to achieve each sub-action. The entire mechanical structure is very cumbersome, the failure rate is high, and it is difficult to maintain or repair the equipment. Applying advanced servo drive technology to food packaging machinery can streamline the mechanical transmission of the entire equipment. For example, the application of three-axis linkage or multi-axis linkage servo drive technology on food packaging machinery can not only ensure the reliable and efficient operation of the equipment, but also simplify the mechanical transmission mechanism of the whole equipment. The servo motors commonly used in food packaging machinery include stepping motors, DC motors and AC motors. The speed control of the equipment can be realized by the subdivision technology of stepping motors, the PWM technology of DC motors, and the frequency conversion technology of AC motors.
　　
Servo drive technology is mainly used in food conveying, loading and unloading, palletizing, depalletizing, marking and other processes. According to the servo drive technology used in food packaging machinery, it can be divided into high, medium and low grades, which corresponds to the control method adopted by food packaging machinery, which is beneficial to the product upgrade of food packaging machinery.
2.4 Sensors on food packaging machinery
　　
To automate food packaging machinery, it is essential to install sensors on the equipment. For example, in the monitoring, filling and packaging, mixing and processing, cooling and heating, cleaning, packaging and other processes of food and beverage storage tanks, sensors are used. Sensors applicable to food packaging machinery include inductive sensors, pressure sensors, photoelectric sensors, capacitive sensors, etc. 6-7.
