Ladder Diagram of sequencing control of conveyor Program Description
RUNG000 is for Master Start/Stop the process.
RUNG001 is to operate feeder with output address O:2/0 which is operated when Start PB is pressed.
RUNG002 is to operate Motor 1 of Conveyor 1 which is operated when Load cell 1 detects the presence of
material. As long as material is on the conveyor, Motor 1 remains energized.
RUNG003 is to operate Motor 2 of Conveyor 2 O:2/3 which is operated whenever Motor 1 is ON AND/OR as
long as material is presence on the conveyor 2 which is detected by Load cell 2 (I:1/3).

PLC Program to Count and Pack Parts from Conveyor
This is a PLC Program to Count and Pack Parts from Conveyor.
Problem Description Objects are moving on a conveyor belt 1. When an empty box is detected, conveyor belt starts and 5pcs
are packed in a box. When box is filled, it is carried to the storage area via conveyor belt 2. Implement
automation of this process in PLC using Ladder Diagram programming language.
Problem Diagram Problem Solution
Use proximity switches to detect moving objects on the conveyor belt 1 and to detect an empty box on
conveyor belt 2.
Use counter to count number of objects to be packed.
Use timer such that when 5pcs are detected, conveyor runs for a while and stops when 5th object is finally
collected in the box. Assume time by calculating conveyor belt speed.
When number of parts to be packed are detected timer is activated. When timer is over, it stops the
conveyor until next empty box is detected.
Assuming time taken by the last 5th object is 2secs to be collected.

time test cases.
