Continuous Bottle Filling System Using PLC: Instrumentation Automation Electrical Interview Questions Blog Quiz Too

1) The document describes a continuous bottle filling system controlled by a PLC that detects bottles on a conveyor belt, fills them with liquid, and sounds a buzzer when complete. 2) A ladder logic program is created to control the process, detecting bottles via a limit switch, filling for 0.5 seconds, then detecting the filled level with a photodetector. 3) After filling, a buzzer sounds for 0.7 seconds before the next cycle begins to fill the next bottle.

Introduction

This is one of the important application of PLC in the bottle filling industry where we want our bottles, which move on the conveyor belt,
to be automatically detected in the proper position and fill the desired liquid and also, after they are filled, the bottle in queue has the
opportunity to fill up If all this process is carried out manually, it will really take a long time and also the amounts will be quite minor. Then
the PLC becomes the controller required for this type of industry. Here also a small demonstration of the process was carried out with
the help of the PLC, where a ladder diagram was created to control the process and the ladder diagram was executed with the PLC
training kit to see its justification.

Objective

We will implement a control program that detects the position of a bottle via a limit switch then waits for 0.5 secs, and then fills the bottle
until a photodetector detects the filled condition of the bottle. After the bottle is filled ,the buzzer sounds and the control program will
again wait for 0.7 secs. before moving to the next bottle .Until the limit switch signals ,the feed motor,M1 runs while there are fixed
rollers which carries the filled bottles. Motor,M2 keeps running after the process has been started.

Ladder diagram

Once the start button is pressed the green light (L1) turns ON and remains ON until stop button is pressed.As light turns ON out
feed motor(M2) starts running.After M2 runs and if either limit switch(LS) has not signalled or filled bottle condition is fulfilled
motor(M1) starts.After limit switch has signalled timer,T1 gets activated. After T1 gives done (DN)signal and photo detector (PE) is
disabled ,solenoid valve gets in operation.As PE signals solenoid stops and buzzer(B1) sounds after which timer,T2 gets enabled
which stops the process for 0.7 seconds. Once the filled bottle condition is activated the cycle starts again. The ladder diagram was
successfully checked in the PLC simulator and all the prescribed conditions were observed completely

There is a free PLC simulator so that you can practice these Ladder programs
