Project 2: Project Control of Belt Conveyor (10 Marks):

Consider a conveyor belt is moved by a DC motor which carries boxes from loading to
unloading station (Figure) .

• Initially box is at loading station (L) where it stops for loading.

• When loading complete, operator press the switch (S). When Switch(S) is pressed
conveyor starts and takes the box towards unloading station (U). (Motor needs to
move clockwise to move to belt L➔U).

• The conveyor stops at Unloading station(U) when Ultrasound sensor (US) detect the
box 10cm away from station and Serial monitor shows:” Box Reached”

• An LED is connected to the system which shows Green light when box is moving
and Red light when box is stopped.

• When unloading is done , you have to give serial input typing “Y” which start
motor moving back to loading station(L) again (Motor need to move
counterclockwise). The box travel time from loading to unloading station is 10
seconds.

• Provide circuit diagram in Tinkercad

• Complete code of the process

• Design Physical circuit and demonstrate the workings.
