Abstract
A conveyor control system project was implemented using software LabVIEW and interfacing electronics such that it mimics the operation of a conveyor used in a bottling plant with beginning, filling and ending stations. Conveyors are used for automated transportation of materials. For this project, the conveyor simulator is equipped with a dc motor mounted directly to an axle for driving the conveyor belt, a freely rotating axle for the opposite side of the conveyor belt. Three IR proximity sensors, positioned at the middle and both the ends, are used to detect the position of bottle on the conveyor. A load sensor is employed at the middle to measure the volume of fluid in the bottle. Suitable displays were incorporated in the software. A PC based control system enables fast communication between controls programming and equipment.
