PLC Program To Remove Empty Detected Bottle On Conveyor

This document describes a PLC program to remove empty bottles detected on a conveyor belt. Proximity sensors detect bottles on the belt and identify empty ones. A bit shift register tracks empty bottle positions. When an empty bottle reaches the blower location after 4 shifts, the blower is activated to remove it from the conveyor. The ladder logic program energizes the conveyor motor in RUNG002 and uses RUNG003 to operate the bit shift register and blower to remove detected empty bottles.

PLC Program to Remove Empty Detected Bottle on

Conveyor

Problem Description
After filling process, bottles are moved on the conveyor belt for packing process. Detect if
any empty bottle is left on the conveyor and remove it from the conveyor. Implement
automation of this in PLC using Ladder Diagram programming language.

Problem Diagram

Problem Solution
 Proximity sensors are used to detect bottles.
 One proximity is calibrated such that it detects all the bottles passing on the conveyor.
And other proximity is used such that it detects only empty bottle.
 Use Bit Shift Register to shift a bit which is set when an empty bottle is detected.
 Use a piston or blower is used to throw an empty bottle out of the conveyor.
PLC Program
Here is PLC program to Remove Empty Detected Bottle on Conveyor, along with program
explanation and run time test cases.
List of Inputs and Outputs
I:1/0 = Start (Input)
I:1/1 = Stop (Input)
I:1/2 = Bottle Proximity (Input)
I:1/3 = Empty bottle proximity (Input)
O:2/0 = Master coil / Run (Output)
O:2/1 = Conveyor motor (Output)
O:2/2 = Blower (Output)
BSL = Bit shift left instruction (Logical)
B3:0 = Bit shift Register (Register)
B3:0/3 = Bit to energize capping machine (Bit)
R6:0 = Control register (Register)

Program Description
 When the system is started, conveyor motor coil with address O:2/1 is energized.
 RUNG002 and RUNG003 are used to operate bit shift register and Blower with address
O:2/2.
 Whenever conveyor motor is in RUN mode, empty bottles detected by the proximity
sensor with input I:1/3, it sets B3:0/0 bit and is shifted left every time a bottle is detected
by bottle proximity with address I:1/2.
 From proximity to blower, distance is 4 steps. Hence bit B3:0/3 of B3:0 register is used to
operate blower.
 When B3:3/0 bit is set that is when empty bottle is detected by input I:1/3, after 4 steps,
blower is activated and the empty bottle is removed.

Runtime Test Cases


Inputs Output Physical Elements
I:1/0 = 1 (Start PB) O:2/1 = 1 Run conveyor motor
I:1/3 = 1 B3:0/0 = 1 Set first bit of bit register
I:1/2 = 1 BSL = 1 Shift bit to left
B3:0/3 = 1 O:2/2 = 1 Activate blower
