Programs : DEM Semester :4

1.0 OBJECTIVES : Upon completion of the practical, students should be able to:
a) Describe the general structure and role of a PLC in an automated system
b) Read, develop, write, and test PLC program of sorting conveyor system control
in Ladder Diagram(LD) or Sequence Function Chart (SFC).
2.0 EQUIPMENTS :
a) PLC PANASONIC FPX C30R
b) FPWIN PRO 6 Software
c) PLC Simulator
d) Computer

3.0 THEORY :

Sorting Conveyors can be used to assemble things or cartons by recognising and sorting the
various products and transporting them to the appropriate locations. Sorting Conveyors are an
inexpensive and convenient way to sort and treat a broad variety of recyclables. Feed various
materials onto Conveyor Belts and regulate the belt feed via foot controlled controls.
A sorting conveyor for hanger-supported goods, with sorting stations on opposite sides of the
conveyor, comprising a track, a moving chain supported by the track, and a plurality of hanger
pendants extending from the chain for transporting the goods, each pendant having an inclined
support bar open in a rearward direction for supporting the hangers, and each support station
having a pick-off rail extending laterally away from the conveyor to a collection point, the end of

8. Declare the timer with a new name. For example, TIM0.

To use counter operation, search CTU at instruction and insert to program. CTU also needs to
declare.

6.0 TASK: To solve conveyor sorting control system.

Figure 1: Conveyor system for sorting process

Figure 1 shows the conveyor control by PLC for sorting process in industry. Develop
a PLC programming using ladder diagram or sequence function chart according to
the following operation:
1. When start button is pushed, system of conveyor is on.
2. When sensor 1 detect workpiece, conveyor 1 moves.
3. Color sensor will detect the color of workpiece on the conveyor and controller
will decide whether moves forward or reverse for conveyor 2.
4. Conveyor 2 will move when part available sensor 2 is detected.

8.0 DISCUSSION:

A conveyor sorting control system is a system that may be used to assemble products or cartons.
We will develop a PLC diagram of a conveyor sorting control system in this experiment. We saved this
document to describe the overall structure and purpose of a PLC in an automated system. When
creating the PLC diagram, we must encounter errors and figure out how to correct them. In addition,
students may use this conveyer sorting control system in real world.

9.0 CONCLUSION:

Finally, PLCs have internal functions such as timers and counters, making them complicated but
simple to operate. It also gives control flexibility depending on programming and can execute basic
logic instructions used in ladder diagrams.
