I. Introduction
 PLC’s were developed in the late 1960’s to eliminate the
large cost involved in changing complicated relay based machine
control systems. These systems were inflexible. Their major rewiring
or complete replacement was nec-essary every time when the
production requirements changed and control sequences had to be
modified. It became very expensive when changes were frequent.
The idea to replace relay systems with flexible microproces-sor
based Programmable logic controllers PLC’s was a revolutionary
step in the industrial control business. PLC’s have been used for
many years at many appli-cations.
They are the main control elements of several subsystems
which require relatively slow data monitor-ing: the radiation control,
personal safety, fire and smoke alarm. All these subsystems are
very cost effective and reliable. Adding new equipment to control or
changing operating conditions to implement new control features
can easily be done by the skilled technician staff, without any help
from the Controls Software Group. The software development tool
and some ideas of de-vice support for DirectNet PLC’s became the
basis of a new PLC control software library at control Lab. The
software acts as a DirectNet master through any RS-232 port and
consists of three main parts: a PLC driver with a state machine
control block, a device support module, and a common serial driver.

II. Objectives
a. Provide an appropriate logic circuit for the operation of the Part
supply and control using the basic instructions.
b. The student should be familiarize using the fx series PLC.
c. To be able to use the fx series PLC.

VII. Conclusion
Upon performing this particular experiment, students aim to
design an appropriate logic circuit using FX-training software that
operates a part supple and control system.
Given that there could be a number of logic circuit design that
are applicable for this type of operation, the result circuit was made by
trial and error method. By proper evaluation of the flow of operation
and control specifications provided, students were able to come up
with ideas on how to construct the appropriate logic circuit. In addition,
the specific previous activity instruction applied in this logic circuit is
the use of M8002, latching and normally-closed switch functions.
 As it is somehow relevant to this experiment, the latching
function was used for the M8002 to be associated with the forward
conveyor while the normally-closed switch was used to deliver the
unloading command to the robot. Therefore, by using the mentioned
methods, students successfully made a ladder diagram to operate the
system. Students were also able to independently analyze and design
a logic circuit and be familiar with the interface and several functions
in the FX-training software
