Board sorting

An overhaul of the automatic system for sorting boards was made, whereby:

mounting plate inside the energy cabinet and all switching elements were replaced
the control electronics for automatic sorting was integrated on the mounting plate (while previously it was separated from the energy part, which required additional space in the control room of the sorting plant); control electronics (PLC) is based on the Siemens Simatic S7-300 series, which has been used in industrial automation systems for many years.
The control panel with signal-control elements (lamps, pushbuttons, selector switches) was changed; the new control panel is designed to be as similar as possible to the old one in order to reduce the time for the operator to get used to the new system
