 01. INTRODUCTION

This project assignment is the combination of the PLC and CNC machining. We need to
design a ladder logic that have 2 robots where they have to work together with the Cnc
machine that also involving the conveyor belt with sensors.

02. ALL ABOUT SENSORS

The sensor hat I used in this project is the proximity sensor in which it is the most easy one to
use as it has many examples that we can use it as references such as in textbook. Proximity
sensor is a sensor that able to detect the presence of near object without any physical contact.
This helps in counting the completed product in PLC programme without the need to touch it.

03. WORKING PROCEDURE OF LADDER LOGIC

In the first rung, I put a push button as the starting of the conveyor belt with force stop button
as normally closed input if there is any needs to use it.

For the 2nd rung, I put the timer on for 10 seconds as to initiate the time taken for the
conveyor belt that carry pallet to arrive at the machine center. The pallet will then hit the limit
switch that was put at the center of the machine.

When the pallet hits the limit switch, the PLC will then start the timer for 15 seconds. This
time taken is needed for the robot 1 to take the raw material of the CNC machine from the
pallet and then loaded it in the machine. The conveyor belt will stop as long as the robot 1 is
still working.
In the next rung, as the time for the robot 1 to do its work has end, the CNC will then do its
machine program. I set the preset time for the CNC machine for 25 seconds. When the CNC
starts to work, the conveyor will starts to move as well to the 2nd robot.

When the CNC stop to work, the robot 2 will starts to unload the parts from the CNC
machine and causing the conveyor to stop. I use different address of conveyor pause from the
robot 1 because it will then stop when it should move.

Then, when the robot 2 has finished the work, the conveyor will move again to the proximity
sensor that will count the item.

I try to make the sensor calculate the automatically but then the program became error, so I
choose to toggle it manually until the counter reach its preset value. Once the counter reach
the value, the indicator lights will turn on.

Then, we can toggle the reset button to reset back the counter and the rung end.

04. CONCLUSION

In conclusion, this project helps me to understand more about how PLC works and also
toughen my fundamentals on the PLC programme. This project also helps me to understand
better about the question and way to tackle it. I also get to know that there are many sensors
that we can use in this programme and I feel the excitement in using RsLogix after
understands fully how to use it.
