Scientech2425 Conveyor Control by PLC

Conveyors are basically material handling equipments. Conveyors are used for moving materials over a fixed path. There is a broad range of types of conveyor systems. Wheel conveyor, Roller conveyor, Chain conveyor, Magnetic conveyor, Pneumatic conveyor are some the major types.

Conveyors are used :

• When material is to be moved frequently between specific points
• To move materials over a fixed path
• When there is a sufficient flow volume to justify the fixed conveyor investment

Conveyors can be classified in different ways :

• Type of product being handled: unit load or bulk load
• ŸLocation of the conveyor: overhead, on-floor, or in-floor
• Scientech 2425 Conveyor Control by PLC is a Flat Belt Conveyor system. It consists of two Sensors. One is IR Sensor and other is Proximity Sensor. Belt is driven by a DC motor. Output of Proximity Sensor, output of IR Sensor are the inputs of PLC Motor direction and buzzer are the outputs of PLC. Some additional I/Os also given for user.
