Conveyor PLC to Control on Goods Packaging

At first automatic control system for controlling machine tools in the form of a series of industrial relays. But with a series of relay control systems become less effective due to system changes require a big expense and hassle of a high work rate.

Finally came the computer-based control system called PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) which can provide solutions to these problems. This paper is the design of PLC applications to control the packing of goods conveyors.

The system is designed to be controlled by PLC with operations as follows: When the Start button is activated, a process of filling the product into the box in which the product conveyor and conveyor boxes stopped running. Having traversed the product sensor product number six products, product conveyor and conveyor boxes stopped running. Conveyor Boxes Boxes stopped when the sensor detects the presence of the following boxes, and return the product conveyor running to fill the new boxes that are still empty. This process is continuing and will stop if the stop button is activated.
