Student Handout Project #8 PLC: Automation and Controls in Manufacturing In this module you will be introduced to the principles of Programmable Logic Controllers and how they interface to automated processes. By consulting and designing, you will automate a process using basic instruction sets and control knowledge.  Problem Scenario for PLC A small company is expanding its operations by adding a new packaging line. The new packaging line boxes smaller boxes of whiteout into bigger ones. There are six small boxes of whiteout in every big box. There are eight bottles of whiteout in each small box. They can hire new employees to perform the job, but they feel that installing an automated control system will cut cost, provide reliability, and speed. The packaging line is currently being put into place. You have been brought in to help them with the PLC portion of the project. The company also wants: To be able to count how many bottles of whiteout have gone through the system. To know how many boxes are packaged per minute. The company has provided a drawing that shows the location of devices on the packaging system. Once the design is complete present your results to the plant representatives. Using web links provided, gather some background information on various input and output sensing devices. Using the drawing (figure 2) provided, add any additional input and/or output devices. Document your recommendations for the necessary devices and describe how they are used in the project. Also decide what type of PLC will be used for the project. Present your recommendations to your team and collectively design a final project using information from each team member. Collectively as a team, prepare an oral and visual presentation describing your recommendations, cost, and how it works in the process. Draw your system using Ladder Logic format (AutoCAD). Download programs and make necessary Document program accordingly. PLC Terminology Central P
