PLC BASED BOTTLE FILLING SYSTEM

Abstract

The objective of our project is to create, build, and oversee a "PLC BASED BOTTLE FILLING SYSTEM." This endeavor offers numerous advantages such as reduced power consumption, lower operational expenses, minimal upkeep, precision, and more. It falls under industrial automation and finds widespread application in various sectors like dairy, chemical, food, mineral water, and other industrial settings. A prototype has been developed as a demonstration of the project. Bottle filling is a fundamental operation implemented by machinery, widely utilized across industries. In this project, bottle filling is regulated using a PLC controller, which serves as the core component of the entire setup. For the conveyor system, a dc motor was chosen for enhanced performance and operational simplicity. A sensor is employed to identify the bottle's position. By utilizing a reduced number of components in our system, overall costs have been significantly decreased. The programming of the PLC is executed using ladder logic, a commonly utilized and accepted programming language for PLCs. The specific PLC incorporated in this setup is a Siemens S7-1200, enhancing system flexibility and ease of operation.
