Abstract
In this project, students in the Electrical Engineering Technology Department at Kennesaw University worked under the guidance of advisory Professor Daren Wilcox and Mr. John Cohran, an automation engineer at Omni International Inc., to develop a prototype of the second generation of an automated liquid handling machine in current production called the Prep96. The prototype developed was called “Bladerunner.” The group researched the Prep96 program to study its operation and worked with Omni International and the Festo Corporation to develop a prototype code, schematic, and simulation using a FESTO PLC-HMI. Students established communication as well as provide autonomous and teleoperation control between devices. What follows is a summary of the current Prep96 industrial design, the Bladerunner prototype design, the components that are used in the Bladerunner design, a description of the software used, the prototype schematic, discovered results, and supported datasheets.
