And Performance

A miniature sorting of material quality has been made, aided by a prototype of the controller system based on the Mitsubishi FX1N-24MR Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). A number of stages include the manufacture of the conveyor system unit, the electrical system, PLC programming, and performance measurement. The conveyor unit assembling was processed by installing the conveyor belt, dc motor, pneumatic cylinder, solenoid valve, and sensors. The electrical system is an integration of the Mitsubishi FX1N-24MR PLC, switched-mode power supply, miniature circuit breaker (MCB), dc voltage regulator circuit, relays, digital counters, pushbuttons, and selector switches arranged in a 20 x 30 x 15 cm panel box. Mitsubishi PLC system programming is based on algorithmic determination and ladder diagram arrangement assisted by GX Developer (GX Work). Performance measurement in the form of pulse readings is carried out by setting and manufacturing ladder counters and shift registers to count the number of pulses for each material and the accuracy of sorting when the material is detected simultaneously. The system performance is indicated by pulse reading accuracy and sorting timing accuracy. The reading of the pulse from the proximity switch affects the counter calculation to activate the pneumatic cylinder unit in sorting. Sorting for material-A takes 11 pulses, while for material-B, it takes 19 pulses. The synchronization measurement functions when an error occurs in the system in order to maintain the input received is the same as the output in the PLC-based control system.

Set Up

Programmable logic controllers (PLC) have been one of the most widely used controllers in industry. They have a graphical programming language interface resambling the relay panels which they are intended to replace so that the transition from relay panels might be swift and smooth. Although learning this programming language is easy, real life experiments are essential for students to gain greater understanding of the logic behind the language. However, it is generally too expensive to provide an experimental set-up for students to test their theoretical knowledge. For this reason, a conveyor and feeder system was developed as a low cost 3D printable design using a CAD program and implemented for use in a control laboratory. Using this conveyor set-up, students can experience how to program a practical example of a PLC devices used in industry together with an introduction to actuators and sensors. Reading actual sensors and using actuators via the inputs and outputs of a PLC to control a real life system will be far more effective than simulator alternatives.
