Abstract

This project is proposed about the design and implementation of automatic controlling conveyor by using PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). This project is divided by 2 sections; the packaging section and sorting section, where the whole sections is controlled by PLC. Furthermore, the combination of hardware and software is performing in a one system. For the hardware are such as conveyor, sensor, and motor and for the software that is used is PLC. Therefore, a program will be designed in by using CX-Programmer in the ladder diagram form and it is applied to the PLC to control the whole operation of the project. The processes involved are such as movement, counting and sorting process of a conveyor. Usually, this application is used widely in industry especially in Small and Medium Industries (SMis). The advantages of this project are, it helps the user in saving time in packaging the product and also reduce the area used for packaging and sorting process. Besides, it is also can decrease the cost in using manpower for the both process. This project involved a low in cost because the maintenance cost is low and for the long-term use, it is thrifty.
