Abstract:
Filling is a task, which carried out by a machine that packages
liquid products such as cold drinks or water. Traditional methods of bottle
filling involved placing bottles into a conveyor and filling only one bottle
at a time. This method is time consuming and expensive. The present
work represents the design procedures and the simulation of an automatic
filling line of different bottle sizes by using Programmable Logic Control
(PLC). The system works automatically by filling liquid products into the
bottles of different heights and is fully controlled by the PLC, which acts
as the heart of the system. The system sequence of operation is designed
by using ladder diagram technique, and the PLC programming software.
The input signal that has been sent from the sensor to the PLC has being
made as a reference signal. Farther more this reference signal used to
determine the output signal, which is exactly is the same with the PLC
programming language signal. The entire system is more flexible and
time saving.
