Factory Automation using PLC Logics

Explore light load conveyor types, including 2m, 4m, and 6m lengths, with digital, positive/negative, and analog control and optional encoders, simulated via control IO and factory IO.

Design and implement start, stop, and direction control for light load conveyors using push buttons, selector switches, flip-flops, memory bits, and LED indicators.

Control conveyor speed using a potentiometer analog input, gated by start/stop logic with indicators and a speed display, supporting a -10 to +10 range.

Explore automating a conveyor with sensors to control speed and direction, using diffuse sensors, sensor-based logic, start/stop, and dynamic speed changes.

Build a conveyor line using belt conveyors, gates, sensors, curves, and incline sections; apply analog speed control with a potentiometer and implement start/stop logic with status indicators.

Configure a PLC-based conveyor line with potentiometer-driven speed, sign-based belt control, gates and interlocks, and emergency stops with indicators to show run and stop status.

Learn to implement emergency stop across multiple conveyor locations using NC e-stops and not gates. Reset from a panel to restart the system safely.

Configure two diffuse sensors on the conveyor to detect box presence and drive the belt, using a timer and memory bit to stop it when no box arrives in time.

Implement complete automation of conveyor lines by integrating multiple sensors, interlocks, and timers to start belts at minimum speeds and stop after 10 seconds of no box.

Explore capacitive, diffuse, and inductive sensors for metal and non-metal detection with discrete and analog outputs. See practical uses in sensing box height and elevator position.

Learn to wire a PLC with factory I/O hardware, supply 24 V, and map inputs and outputs using Automation Studio to drive a conveyor with start and sensor signals.

Learn to latch and unlatch a conveyor using push buttons in a PLC logic setup, wiring inputs and outputs, and using set and reset commands to control lights and operation.

Learn to change conveyor direction using two buttons in PLC logic, with positive and negative outputs, interlocking, and reset for forward, reverse, and stop control.

Learn to change conveyor direction with sensors in factory automation using PLC logics, enabling automatic left and right movement by pairing sensor inputs with motor control.

Understand how an emitter releases boxes onto a conveyor and how a remover clears them, while configuring box size, timing, and continuous operation in a plc-based setup.

this lecture demonstrates interlocking two conveyors with sensors using PLC logic, employing start and reset actions, rising and falling edge triggers, and sequencing to control conveyors based on box presence.

Learn to use a pusher to divert a box on the chute conveyor by wiring diffuse sensors and a front limit, using rising and falling edge logic.

Explore how to indicate conveyor operation with a visual indicator using red, yellow, and green lights, wiring concepts, and PLC logic for start and stop controls.

Sort large and small boxes by height using a single sensor and a pusher to direct bigger boxes to the center conveyor while bypassing smaller ones.

Learn to divert boxes on a chute conveyor using a pivot arm and sensor-triggered logic, with start and stop controls and timing to achieve reliable sorting.

Explore factory automation using PLC logic by sorting large and small boxes with a pivot arm, sensors, and timer-based control on a conveyor system.

Use a star blade for buffering to pace boxes between two conveyors, controlled by retro reflective sensors and PLC logic with start and stop inputs.

Explore a plc-based box sorting system that uses a pop up wheel to separate large and small boxes on a conveyor, with sensors, counting, and feedback for automation.

Demonstrate using chain transfer or gene transfer devices to divert boxes between conveyors, coordinating sensors x2–x5 and outputs y0–y4 in a looping plc logic with reset and start conditions.

Explore plc logic for converging two conveyors into one using sensor-based transfer, start/stop control, and priority-driven logic to ensure safe, efficient box transfer.

Learn to design PLC logic for diverting boxes with a turntable, including loading and unloading sequences, start/stop interlocks, and sensor coordination in WPRO software.

Sorts boxes by height on a conveyor using two beams and a turntable, activating left or right rollers via height sensors to divert large and small boxes.
