Abstract

The project target is to design the hardware that can integrate with the PLC to show how the system works. This project will use the PLC to control the sorting of the ball regarding the specifications. The Ball Sorter Machine will compare and separate the ball according to the colour (black and white) and metal ball. The objective of this project is to design and fabricate the Ball Sorter Machine using hardware and software (PLC programming). This project will be used as the teaching aid for the student to understand about PLC easier. PLC becomes one of the subjects that need to be learnt by the engineering student. Without the help of trainer or hardware as a teaching aid especially for those who were weak in imagination, the student did not able to understand PLC programming easily. Beside that, the balJ sorter machine can settle the problem when alJ balls were assorted in one container it will cause trouble to the users to separate the entire balls. The ball sorter process will be done by using the stopper and sensors. There are three sensors that be use in this machine and the stopper is use to block the ball and the ball will be sort. The counter will be used to count the number of ball inside the box. The main controller of the project is the PLC controller that uses CX-Programmer as a programming tool to design ladder diagram.
