 Objective

The aim of our project was to design a programmable controller that can
automate industrial processes which are related to conveyor belt controlling
such as bottle filling ,packing etc.

 Introduction

• In this project we have designed a hardware which is composition of analog and

digital circuit where the digital circuit will decide the functioning of analog circuit.

• Each module of hardware has a digital circuit with a register . The binary value in
the register will decide the mode of operation of that module.

• We have designed Timer module , Level selector module , Switch module and
Integrated it on the motherboard of our controller.

 Programmer module

• As the name suggest this module is used to for programming of our controller and
the requirement is to get 2 bit address and 2 bit data for selecting and programming
a module.

• Simple diode based switching is done to generate 2 bit address ,data and 2 bit D-flip
flop is used to load the generated bits in a module.

• The 2 bit address generated is then passed to decoder circuit for generating enable
signal for register of different modules.

 Level selector module

• This hardware module is designed to select the level of liquid to be filled in the bottle
based on 2 bit data stored in it’s memory.

• It works along with an analog sensor that detects the amount of liquid filled in the
bottle.

• The data stored in memory of this module selectively enables the module to
particularly detect a predefined level, such as 25%,50%,75%
100% filling.

(01,00) >> enable 100% filling.
(01,01) >> enable 75% filling.
(01,10) >> enable 50% filling.
(01,11) >> enable 25% filling. 9
 Switch module
• The working of this module is to enable logical operation between switches.

• NAND,NOR,NOT,XOR corresponding to 00,01,10,11 are the logical operation that can

be enabled by setting bit’s in the register of this module.

• Coupling of this module with other modules enhance the flexibility of controller.

 Pre-calibrated module
• This module is based on IC 555 timer in A-stable mode.

• Four different timers are designed with different time period.

• Selection of a particular timer for process is based on 2 bit data stored in register of
this module.

• On/Off time of conveyor belt and tap is controlled in predefined way.

 Motherboard
• Motherboard circuit provide interface between all the modules ,
power supply required by a module.
• Port for each module was designed on the motherboard ,any module
can simply be plugged-in for working .

 Hardware designing and module integration

• The complete hardware is design was based on modular approach.

• For simulation and layout designing we used Proteus 7

STEPS:
1. Requirement analysis
2. Simulation on Proteus
3. Layout printing using Proteus ARES and Etching
4. Component Soldering and module testing
5. Module Integration and final testing
6. Finish

 Future scope
• The modular approach of the designing provide us huge flexibility and
and scope to enhance the hardware.
• Programming of controller can de done from any remote location by
adding a wireless transmitter in the programmer module.
• New ports on motherboard can be added to incorporate any newly
developed module.
• Automation of other processes related to controlling of conveyor belt
such as Escalators , Simple Production line etc. can be done by adding
new dedicated modules.
