Abstract

In any Industrial Automation there are many instruments wired together during a network to make them function using Programmable Logic controllers (PLC). Programmable Logic Controllers are industry-based computers that monitor inputs and control the output, supported the logic state of the input. Sometimes the system is placed in remote locations to regulate the functions of such systems. SCADA may be a system that permits to regulate, monitor and coordinate devices and components in real-time from a foreign location with the acquisition of knowledge for analysis and planning from one central location. The conveyor hardware is connected to PLC via RS232 cable. The PLC provides instructions by software referred to as WPLSoft 2.47 which can be interfaced with laptop. The hardware will be controlled via SCADA software on the PC. During this application, conveyor A starts when the package is sensed by S1 and conveyor B starts when the package reaches S2. Thereafter conveyor B runs forward and reverse and unloads the packages as per the preset counts sensed by S3 and S4.
