Storage area with counter and comparator
OBJECT: PLC based Storage area with counter and comparator.
Task description: Figure shows a system with two conveyor belts and a temporary storage
area in between them. Conveyor belt 1 delivers packages to the temporary storage area. A
photoelectric barrier at the end of conveyor belt 1 near the storage area determines how many
packages are delivered to the storage area. Conveyor belt 2 transports packages from the temporary
storage area to a loading dock where trucks take the packages away for delivery to customers. A
photoelectric barrier at the end of conveyor belt 2 near the storage area determines how many
packages leave the storage area to go to the loading dock. A display panel with five lamps indicates
the fill level of the temporary storage area.

Priority Determination Design
OBJECT: PLC based priority determination design for game buzzer control.
Task description: In this application, we are going to discuss a game scenario depicted in
Figure. The game buzzer control requirement is as follows:

1. After the Host has finished the question.

2. The 3 players will press the switch in front of them to be the first to answer the question.
3. The buzzer will sound for 10 sec after any one of the players has pressed the switch.
4. The light indicator in front of each player will light up and can only reset by the Host switch.

Process Schematic:

Operation:
The operation of the circuit is as follows:
1. Whichever player presses its switch first will automatically disable the other players’ switches and
only his light will turn on.
2. The light will turn on a buzzer with a 10 second timer.
3. The reset switch controlled by the host will turn off the light.

CONCLUSION:
In this experiment we observe that when player presses its switch first will automatically
disable the other players’ switches and only his light will turn on. The light will turn on a
buzzer with a 10 second timer. The reset switch controlled by the host will turn off the light

Package Line Control
OBJECT: PLC based Package Line Control for operating two conveyor belts for collecting
apples.
Task description: In this application illustrates how two conveyor belts operate to package
an item in boxes.
Process Schematic:

Operation:
When Start push button PB1 is pressed, the box conveyor moves. Upon detection of the box, the box
conveyor stops and apple conveyor starts. Part sensor will count up to 10 apples. The apple conveyor
stops and box conveyor starts again. Counter will reset and operation repeats until push button PB2 is
pressed.

OUTPUT:

CONCLUSION:
In this experiment we observe that when the start button is pressed conveyor belt 1turns on
and the box reaches in front of the sensor it stops the belt. As the conveyor 1 stops conveyor
2 starts to fill apple in the box, meanwhile a sensor senses number of apple and counter
counts it up till 10, as the count is up its switch turns on the conveyor belt to bring next box
and the process is repeated.
