Automated Packaging System Overview

Tang Lok Yuan is a second year student studying BNE at FTK. The document describes an automatic packaging system controlled using a ladder logic program. The system uses sensors to detect apples and boxes on conveyors, and controls the conveyors to automatically package 10 apples into each box. The ladder logic uses rungs and flags to start and stop the conveyors based on sensor signals, and reset counters to restart the packaging process once a box is full. The system can be started and stopped manually with buttons, or via an emergency stop for safety.

Schematic drawing

Product packaging is one of the most frequent cases for automation in industry. It can be
encountered with small machines (ex. packaging grain like food products) and large
systems such as machines for packaging medications. Example we are showing here
solves the classic packaging problem with few elements of automation.
LADDER DIAGRAM

ladder diagram from Rung 0 to Rung 3

ladder diagram from Rung 4 to Rung 8

 Rung 0-Start/Stop segment


 Rung 1&2-When ten apples has been detected by sensor, a conveyor with apples
started moving.
 Rung 3&4&5-When counter to count 10 apples through a sensor and to generate
counter CNT0001 flag which is a condition for a new activation of a conveyor
with boxes.
 Rung 6&7-When the conveyor with boxes has been activated, limit switch resets
counter which is ready to count 10 apples again.
 Rung 8-End of program.
SIMULATION OF LADDER DAIGRAM
[Link] initiate the automatic packaging system

Start button is click on


The apple conveyor will be function until the sensor detected the ten apples

If more than ten apples, it will automatically stop and box conveyor will start to function until 1
box is finished packaging.
[Link] stop the process of automatic packaging system

Stop button is click on


Stop PB is pressed any time to stop all process

[Link] stop the processes of automatic packaging system by click on the emergency button

Emergency button is pressed any time to permanently stop the whole process
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This assignment aimed to understand an automatic packaging system. Start and stop PB
is used to start and stop the whole process and sensor is used to detect product. By
pushing START key to activate Flag1 which represents an assisting flag (Segment 1) that
comes up as a condition in further program (resetting depends only on a STOP key) If I
press on the start button, the apple conveyor will be function until the sensor detected the
ten apples and if more than ten apples, it will automatically stopped and box conveyor
will start to function until 1 box is finished packaging. However, the sensor of the box
conveyor detected more the 1 box, packaging complete sensor turns on to restart the
process. Furthermore, if I press on the stop button, the conveyor 1 which is apple
conveyor will be directly off with the conveyor 2(box conveyor). The whole process will
be stop if I press on the emergency button in order to avoid process failure. The 1.0
second timer provides a preset delay to the control actions.
