Abstract
Automation is widely used in various industries to increase the speed, accuracy, and effectiveness of production and reduce the risk of hazards. Generally, the manufacturing industry has a product packaging and sorting process based on size, weight, shape, height and color. At present, the sorting process carried out manually that produces human errors, so it is necessary to develop accurate low-cost automation. Industrial automation requires an automation system having low costs, low maintenance and user-friendly. Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is one of the most widely used automation equipment in the industry and can be programmed to control the operation of a machine. Advantages of PLC are favored this trend, instead of using custom-made controller systems, quality parts at a reasonable cost, specialized maintenance support. In this paper, PLC has been developed to control multi machine operation with product sorting and packaging based on product color. The multi machine operation consists of three DC motors used for conveyors, two single solenoids, proximity sensors, inductive sensors and limit switches. PLC uses Melsec Mitsubishi with ladder diagram programming using GX work2. The proximity sensor is used to detect the product color. The system is equipped with emergency button and alarm systems to facilitate the implementation of troubleshooting. To facilitate communication with operators and user-friendly systems, human machine interfaces (HMI) are used as interfaces for the system monitoring and controlling. HMI uses Pro-face from Schneider programmed using GP-Pro EX4.0. The ladder diagram has been implemented in PLC and tested on hardware to simulate the system. Based on the test results, Melsec PLC can communicate with HMI and control multi operation machine with product sorting and packaging. The machine can separate and package the metal product based on the color. By using Pro-face Human Machine Interface (HMI), the packaging system can be remotely monitored and controlled automatically.
