Abstract

Automation is a technique to makes devices, process, or a system that can run automatically. To
makes an automation process, power source is needed to run a process or to operate the program
and the control system. In the automation system that needs to be efficient and meet the market
needs, a modular is needed and that modular can be divided into module that has a self
operational ability and can be reprogrammed to adapt with the production needs. To control the
movements from the automation system, a device is needed to control everything. One of the
device is Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with Sequential Function chart (SFC) program
and Function Block Diagram (FBD) to make a simulation system that can represent the
automation in the industrial system. The purpose of this simulation is to make a simulation for the
processing module and optimize the system from the automation processing machine that use
Sequential Function chart (SFC) program in the laboratory scale. This optimization using Zelio
Soft 2 that use Function Block Diagram (FBD) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC) language.
The conclusion is the process between hollow object and non-hollow object are success and the
processing performance get less friction using ball screw and makes the motor performance
become lighter.
Keywords: Automation, Programmable Logic Control, Sequential Function Chart.
