Project Report on CONTROL OF AUTOMATION IN FILLING PROCESS THROUGH SMARTPHONE

Abstract

ABSTRACT Automation is the control technique for operating equipment’s such as operation in factories, and other application with reduced human efforts. The filling process consists of a machine that fills liquid such as water or cold drinks. Traditional bottling methods include placing bottles on a conveyor belt and filling only one type of bottle. In this, a bottle filling machine system is designed for different sized bottles using PLC. The bottle filling machine system consists of a conveyor belt which runs with the help of a DC motor. The photoelectric sensor gives the information about the position of the bottle and the solenoid valve is used to control the filling process. The PLC plays an important role to implement the automatic filling process. The PLC is programmed using ladder diagram language. It is noted from the current work that it requires less operational cost and less power consumption than the traditional method. Wireless technology uses the technique of communication without using cables and wires. By using wireless technologies people can communicate very long distances. Wi-Fi is one of the main wireless technology used in this decade. Here we control the PLC by using a smartphone via a Wi- Fi. This introduces the advantage of mobility of control operator over the vicinity of industry.
