High Speed Discrete Control Sponsored by Emerson - Process Management • Lacey Latour • San Nguyen • Andrew Roessler
Objective • The purpose of this design project was to design a high-speed discrete controlled working model. • Be controlled by a programmable logic controller or PLC. • Be able to fit on a cart & able to be moved. • Go from a discrete input to discrete output in 5 to 50 ms.
Project • We have decided to make a palletizer that will fit the specifications requested
Hardware • Barcode Scanner - to be able to read the object being sorted • Robotic arm - to move the color blocks onto their associated pallet • Conveyor belt
How it will work • Various color blocks will be set on conveyor belt • The barcode scanner will read the color associated with the various blocks • The robotic arm will then get a signal from the barcode scanner telling it which color block it read • The robotic arm will then pick up the blocks and place on a pallet with the other similar color blocks
Project Tasks • Order parts for the simulator. • Implement code to PLC. • Construct the simulator. • Testing & debugging.
Deliverables • Have a working simulator – defined in ‘How it will work’, performing 100% accuracy. • Have a minimal delay for changing tasks within 5 – 50 ms. • Have the dimensions for the simulator be within the cart dimensions.
