Designing a PLC-based Bottle Filling Machine with Conveyor System and Reduced Filling Time Using Ladder Logic

الملخص

The objective for this scientific paper is to build and design a bottle filling machine by using Allen Bradley Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with Pro-face Human Machine Interface (HMI). In this research, the PLC with HMI is used to introduce a cup filling machine. The PLC based controller in automation industry. The primary concept for the study is to design and fabricate a filling system by utilizing PLC. The cup is moved via a belt conveyor by using DC Stepper Motor. When the cup reaches the sensor, it will stop and the sensor will give instructions to the valve that controls the flow of the water. The position of the bottle is identified through the use of laser sensors so that the pump can operate when it is needed. The PLC used in this framework could be the Micrologic 1400 which makes the framework more adaptable and simpler to operate. When the bottle is beneath the tank, the pump starts, filling it with water. This filling device is inexpensive and can be utilized in bottle filling systems for small businesses like tea shops, milk industries, and any other liquid manufactures. In this work, only three sensors are required, and no additional pumps are needed. The pulse is created in the flow sensor by a time-based controller, and the filling process is completed as a result. It used in a variety of factories to less human effort. So, the results of this work are more reliable. And the most important aim in this research is save the time compare to others needs more components and more time.
