Control and Visualization for Demo Conveyor Loop with Different Belts based on PLC

Abstract

The main objective of this project is to control a demo conveyor loop with different belts using Programmable logic controller (PLC), HMI and integration of non-touch accumulation zones in industry standard accessories. This project is used for transporting passenger car tires on different belts of conveyors. These conveyors have been installed in loop as one in-feed conveyor and one out-feed conveyor. The key points of entry in this project are functional analysis of the controlled system, designation of the control system concept, design and implementation of a control application for Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), design and implementation of the control application for Human Machine Interface (HMI), Verification of designed functions on the conveyors loop and to evaluate the results of the work solutions.
